Honey and Whiskey

Due to weight loss and from having to sit in a dialysis chair without out moving for four hours, three days per week, dad has developed pressure sores on his bum (sacrum or tailbone) that need to be treated. This involves cleaning the area with sterile saline, putting a drop of medical grade honey (Manuka)on any open lesions, rubbing zinc barrier cream on the surrounding area, and sticking a gel pad over the area to protect it from pressure. The honey burns a bit on the raw flesh.

Dad: Ouch, that stings!
Randy (rubbing the honey in well): Sorry, not much I can do about that. You need to remember the way this feels when you refuse to eat the protein rich meals I give you!
Dad: Protein, protein, protein, that’s all you say these days… Ouch!
Randy (frowning): Yep, just keeping ignoring the doctors, nurses, and dieticians ’cause you know better.
Dad: Okay, enough, enough! (farts) You can kiss my sweet honey ass.
Randy (annoyed): Just keep it up buster, and I’ll be mixing the whiskey from your nightly Old Fashioned in with the honey. That’ll night cap your ass!
