Holy Crap!

I have been a little busy lately with my mom and working a lot due to having someone fired at work, so my blog is suffering a little. I had a minute to sit down and relax last night and so I turned on TLC which sometimes has really interesting stories. This is what I found.......

Holy Crap is an understatement! This is a half man, half tree. He has some sort of autoimmune problem that caused a wart virus to go crazy. These warts continue to spread across his body and his hands and feet have started growing ROOTS like a tree.

Whoa! A dermatologist from Maryland came out to see if he could be saved and apparently is going to start some sort of oral treatment that should cause the warts to stop growing as well as get rid of some of the ones he already has. The roots on his hands and feet can actually be sawed off (can anyone say ewwww!) I just sat there shocked and amazed. He apparently has to work pretty much as a circus freak in order to get money to feed his family. He has 2 kids and his wife left him when he started growing the warts. He has trouble eating on his own as well as walking to far. It is not genetic and actually he is probably the only one in the whole world with this exact disorder. So I feel a little better about all the stress I have been under, after all I am only built like a tree, not an actual tree. I guess I will stopped being embarrassed my warts!

On a side note, did anyone else feel the earthquake this morning? My bed hasn't rocked that hard in years!
