When I Need You

The joys of being uninsured (health-wise): I have gotten an infection that seems to be spreading. It started from a blister I had between two of my toes (how could I get a blister there??). Then the one toe turned red (and is slightly swollen and itchy) and then the redness started to spread up my foot. Here is a photo of my foot this morning:


You can see the pen line I drew around the red last night. I got some great recommendations (in lieu of antibiotics) of taking vitamin C, echinacea, etc to boost my immune system. I wanted to see if the red area got any bigger overnight. And it didn't!

Many thanks to Tara (www.taranaturalmedicine.com) and Tara (www.clinicconsortium.org) for their advice and recommendations! It made me think of that Leo Sayer song. 'Cause when I needed you guys, I just reached out and there you were.


WHEN I NEED YOU
(Albert Hammond/Carole Bayer Sager)

When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I’m with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It’s only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands
And I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can’t take the place of you smile
But you know I won’t be travelling forever
It’s cold out
But hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I’m with you
And all that I so wanna give you babe
It’s only a heartbeat away
It’s not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that’s a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won’t be travelling a lifetime
It’s cold out
But hold out
And do like I do
Oh I need you
