16. King Shitehawk doesn't know when to shut the fuck up

and his vocabulary is getting very spare. He talks to us like we're four year olds because that's where he's headed. He wouldn't pass the cognitive test I used to give at the VA.

As for his "rotting" hand, it's badly bruised, likely from an infusion catheter getting dislodged. It happens. My hands have looked like that from time to time. It is unsightly and uncomfortable but it goes away.

What I hope about this visit for his sake (if not for ours) is that it was a consultation before placing a permanent port for those infusions.

One thing I find curious, especially from a D.O., is the lack of mention of his musculoskeletal issues, some of which are becoming severe.

(And yes, D.O.s are great, they have to know their stuff and they have to pass the same boards the M.D.s do. The focus is different, but they know when to scoot someone off to a specialist, just like an M.D.does)
