Ritalin-Not just for your ADD child

What this has to do with Duane and Ritalin, not much, I just love this picture. Doesn't it just make you think wacky thoughts. Maybe this cow is on Ritalin. Anyway I digress from my original thoughts. Ritalin. Yes the wonder drug for all hyper active children. Ritalin. Now the wonder drug for tired, energy lacking cancer patients named Duane. We Love It! Kind of confusing huh? Why would a drug intended to calm an ADD child work for someone with no energy. It's a stimulant! Never knew that did you, at the end of this we should all have our pharmacology degree. The basics on how it works. A over active body needs to have some balance, stimulate the brain to help control the body and viola, Ritalin induced calm. So when you're without energy, take the prescribed amount, and viola, Ritalin induced activity. It can trick you though, especially when you were unaware ones spouse had taken it and you ask "you must be feeling better, you have more energy than normal." and ones spouse responds in return "No, it's just the drugs.". Phooey. Oh well, thank you to the creators of this drug of wonders for my cancer man.

Gotta love the Ritalin! I know we do! Can you guess who uses it here? If it is working effectively, I guess you shouldn't be able to guess, right? I'm glad it is helping Duane. Hope to see him soon. How's the color?
