Coffee and chocolate


I recently was in a car accident and sustained an eye injury which is healing nicely.  The first week, I couldn't see well and had to be escorted around.  A couple of guys (Griffin Smith and Bryan Cassidy) tried to cheer me up with comfort food---coffee chocolate candy bars from Trader Joe's.  I am much better now and it looks like there will be no long-term damage.  The injury was caused by the side curtain air bag.   I am grateful for the safety features of new cars as it could have been much worse.  No-one else was injured.

CBD OIL FROM THE SMITHS

As many know, I have a big problem with one of my feet.  It feels numb almost all the time due to peripheral neuropathy.  I had thought for a long time about trying CBD oil, but never followed through.  For my birthday I got some CBD salve from the Smiths and also a good foot massage.  I have been trying it the salve for about a month.  It feels good, and I always love a foot massage, but I don't think it is really helping.

CBD comes from hemp, which I have sketched above.  I had to go on-line for a picture as I don't actually have any hemp.  Although it is related to marijuana, it is significantly different....mostly because it does not have THC.  THC is the ingredient that causes people using marijuana to feel high.  No high with CBD!   Just a comfortable foot treatment, even if it isn't an actual cure....a least, not for me.

Thank you, Louisa and Peter, for the thoughtfulness!   I have been paying more attention to the foot!
