Gout!

It's back. Maybe it's Yankee beer? Not the really pisswater stuff with Lite in the name but proper beer.  A couple of bottles and boom. Instant swollen joint. No beer and some of this stuff .. And boom. Gone in a day. As quick as it came.

FL17 - Day 13

Last full day in Florida. The consensus about my foot was gout. First suggested by my brother, Neill,  on a facebook post. Suggestions that Turmeric might fix it had me at a CVS looking at the many options. By the time that happened the pain had already started to go down.  But five a day with food is a little tough. But all that was yesterday's news.... Today we had a run across to Coconut Grove and Butterfly World. A seven mile journey that took 25 minutes. It seems wherever we go plan on an average of 20mph and leave accordingly. The site has a large aviary area filled with er, butterflies.  Plus an area with small birds. You can spend hours in the butterfly house. Some of them are as big as your hand. Claire had a surprise when a finch landed on her head. We'll worth the ticket price and not too hot in October.

FL17 - Day 12

Local do nothing day. Had a run to a shopping mall as Claire was looking for a Yankee Candle shop. The toe problem was decided on gout. Bought CVS Turmeric. And that's it. Reading and doing nothing.
