Some nosy lady asked me what was wrong with my arm and pointed out my fistula.  This was just before Christmas and it was hot here in New Jersey and I had on a tee shirt.  For some reason the question annoyed me, I think it was the tone that the Question was asked.  I suddenly had a BobN moment and told her that I was just back from the tropics and I got a couple of bug bites and about a week later they started to grow.  I then told her I was waiting to see what emerged.  She started turning green.  I finished her off by raising my arm causing the fistula to shrink, told her maybe we will find out now.  Last I saw she was running out of the store screaming.  I doubt she will ever ask a person again about a body flaw.

I told someone I was growing lips for my new 'pouty lip' look that the Kardashians had! They actually believed me! :sir ken;

My mother in-law was shown a picture of a mature fistula and she said "that must be an EXTREME case!". A case of what? Dialysis? Kidney failure?? As if it can be compared to a case of chicken pox...

Husband had ESRD with Type I Diabetes -Insulin Dependent.
I was his care-partner for home hemodialysis using Nxstage December 2013-July 2016.
He went back to doing in-center July 2016.
After more than 150 days of being hospitalized with complications from Diabetes, my beloved husband's heart stopped and he passed away 06-08-21. He was only 63.

Guinnea worm disease.  It wasn't diagnosed early enough, and the worm got too big, so they had to leave it in.

Bach was no pioneer; his style was not influenced by any past or contemporary century.
  He was completion and fulfillment in itself, like a meteor which follows its own path.
