My mother's cure all was the cheapest: rub it.

Fell down and hurt your knee? Rub it.

have a tummy ache? Rub it.

have an earache? put a hot wash cloth to your ear and ...rub it.

Chemo hurting your bones? Rub them.

My surgeon- the carotid artery where I put the long end of the port? Rub it.

My surgeon- breast/arm swelling? Rub it.


Fell off a chair and broke my coccyx? Rub it.
