He would have been 90 today.  He passed away last April.  In his honor, I will tell a story about him that he loved to tell about himself.Dad once had a really bad case of hemorrhoids.  He was Cajun, so this was horrible because he couldn't eat spicy food when he had hemorrhoids.  He tried all of the over the counter medicines, but couldn't get rid of them. He was very thrifty and wouldn't see a doctor unless he really needed to see one.  Several people told him about home remedies that they swore would shrink his hemorrhoids.   He tried a few, but they didn't work.  Then he tried one last home remedy.  By this time, he was VERY sensitive down there.  He applied DEEP HEAT to his hemorrhoids.  When the heat started, he ended up on the floor crying in pain.  When he had the strength, he got up and took a shower.  He said he would NEVER do that again, but it DID shrink his hemorrhoids!  He always laughed when he told this story.I don't know if this story is all true, but he kept a tube of Deep Heat in his bathroom for the rest of his life.  4951

@mpjp0907:  You sure are lucky to still have your grandmother.  All of my grandparents died by the time I was about 10 years old.  I would love to be able to sit down with them and talk about their life. 4951

She has been such a huge influential person in my life. She lived 3 houses down from us when I was growing up. I'm so blessed to still have her around. I'm getting choked up just thinking about how much I miss her 4951
