Ron o'l buddy, I ache in about twenty spots all over my body. I can relate to "it hurts and it isn't going away". But heck, Sooner or later it's got to feel better and then you're gonna have to be back on line with the rest of us screwballs.
Whatever happens, just remember, never...never ever, kiss a turtle. Frogs I understand may grant you a wish or two and there seems to be a variety of women kissing frogs these days. I think that is why Fred is holding on the Frenchy. But whatever anyone tells you, kissing a turtle is deadly.
Just my opinion!
