Day 3: I Dropped Ed at the Airport Shuttle
Heavy pass of Jim’s on his back. Backpack on. Carry-on on. Walked to the shuttle. Sleep, a meal, a massage, and the jar. I think we did our job.
Just dropped Ed at airport pickup.
Heavy helping of Jim’s on his back before he got out. Not a dab. A real pass. Then he put a backpack on. Then the carry-on. Then he walked himself over to the shuttle spot.
That’s the whole scoreboard.
Day 1 he woke up on the lounge and the hallway was a negotiation. Day 2 he was walking at a 7. Day 3 he loaded his own gear and went to the curb.
What got him there
No movie montage.
Sleep.
A good meal.
An evening massage.
Jim’s Relief 1000 on the back — CBD + DMSO, THC-free, the jar that was already in the house.
We didn’t put him on a plane with a miracle. We put him on his feet with enough mobility to wear the bags and make the shuttle.
I think we did our job. The lounge chair can keep the first night. It doesn’t get the airport.

Day 2: Ed’s Walking. The Clock Is Still Loud.
Yesterday the lounge chair won. Today Ed’s walking — pain at a 7, down from a 9. Evening massage with Jim’s Relief 1000. Flight’s still coming. Gotta get him back in the game.
Day 1 was the lounge chair and a man who could barely negotiate the hallway.
Day 2 he’s walking around.
Not pretty. Not “back in the gym.” Walking. He put the morning at a 7. Yesterday was a 9. That’s the only scoreboard that matters tonight.
Flight still wants him. So the job tonight is simple: keep him moving, keep the back from locking back up, get him closer to travel-ready.
The evening plan
No ice bath theater. No lecture.
Ed gets an evening massage with Jim’s Relief 1000 — medium size. Pure CBD cream. DMSO in the mix so it doesn’t just sit on the surface. THC-free.
Hands on the back. Thin layers. Let it work while he stays in the house and not on that lounge.
Gotta get him back in the game. That’s it.
What Day 2 actually looks like
Day 2 is not a commercial.
It’s a Marine who slept wrong on outdoor furniture, made it through one night, and can now walk the room at a 7 instead of living at a 9. Bathroom trips are not a project anymore. Sitting down is not a negotiation with a referee.
He still has a plane to catch. A 7 still hurts. We are not pretending otherwise.
Jim’s stays out. Medium jar. Enough for another pass tonight and another in the morning if he needs it.
The lounge chair already had its moment. It doesn’t get a sequel.

Ed’s in Town. The Lounge Chair Won the First Round.
Marine buddy. Digital nomad. Asleep on the outdoor lounge. Woke up with a back in agony. Jim’s went on. He made it to the restroom and back to a chair. Flight’s Wednesday. Clock’s ticking.
Ed’s in town.
Marine. Workout buddy. Digital nomad bouncing Bangkok to Tokyo. The kind of guy who treats a long-haul calendar like a gym schedule.
He fell asleep on the outdoor lounge.
Woke up in agony. Back locked. Not “stiff from the flight.” The kind of wrecked where the next five feet look like a negotiation.
I didn’t give a speech. I went and got Jim’s.
What actually happened
He could not casually stroll anywhere. That was the problem. Flight’s Wednesday. Clock’s ticking.
Jim’s on the back. CBD + DMSO. Fast absorption. Deeper than a cream that sits there looking expensive. THC-free. No menthol circus.
Then the only update that mattered:
He could move.
Restroom. Back to a comfortable seat in the house. Not a victory lap. Not “fixed.” Upright. Mobile. Inside.
That’s Day 1 of this visit. The plane is still the boss of the week.
Why this is the story
Because this is how the jar actually gets used.
Not a marble bathroom. A lounge chair that betrayed a Marine. A buddy who has to be on a plane Wednesday. You put the cream where it hurts and you wait to see if he can stand up and walk the hallway.
Ed still has work to do before that flight. Sleep. Easy movement. Another pass of Jim’s. Not heroics.
I’m not writing that Jim’s cleared a back injury for international travel. I’m writing that this morning the lounge chair won, Jim’s got put on, and Ed made it from the chair to the bathroom and back to a seat in the house.
For a guy who was stuck, that was the whole assignment.
Wednesday can panic later. Today he can move.

I Handed My Boss Jim’s Before the Event Started
Some people pack extra radios. I packed Jim’s.
My boss’s hands were already a mess before doors — cracked, angry eczema and a long event ahead. So I put a jar in his hand at the start, not at hour ten.
No speech. Just: use this early. Wash. Dry. Thin layer. Get back on the radio.
Jim’s is CBD + DMSO for fast absorption and deeper penetration. THC-free. Built for comfort where you put it — not a cream that sits on the surface.
I handed my boss Jim’s and hoped his hands would last the day.
Some people show up with extra radios.
I showed up with Jim’s.
My boss has bad eczema on his hands. Event days make it worse — sanitizer, gloves, dust, wash stations, no break. So before the schedule ate us, I put a jar of Jim’s CBD cream in his hand.
No speech. Just: use this early. Keep it on you.
I wanted it on him at the start, not after his hands were already wrecked at hour ten.
Jim’s is a strong CBD + DMSO combo for rapid absorption and deeper skin penetration. Formulated to support comfort where you apply it — not to sit on the surface. THC-free. No added drugs.
Wash. Dry. Thin layer. Let it settle. Get back on the radio.
I handed my boss Jim’s and hoped his hands would last the event.
We Use a Lot of Jim's CBD at My House
I get asked all the time if I actually use Jim's CBD. The answer is yes—every single day. Between my wife and me, we go through two Traveler jars and one Large Pump (1000mg) every month. From old baseball injuries and sore joints to the everyday bumps and bruises that come with an active lifestyle, Jim's CBD has become a staple in our home and part of our daily routine.
People occasionally ask me,
"Do you actually use the product?"
My answer is simple.
Every single day.
In fact, between my family and me, we go through
two Traveler jars and one Large Pump (1000mg) every month. (https://tinyurl.com/2fnj8rp6)
That's not because we're dealing with one big injury.
It's because life has a way of adding up.
At 44 years old, I still live a very active lifestyle. I don't drink, I stay busy, and I do my best to take care of my body. But being active also means carrying around years of old baseball injuries, sore joints, cuts, scrapes, bruises, trigger fingers, and all the little aches that come with refusing to slow down.
I've found myself doing something I never expected...
I'll walk by the bathroom counter, open the jar, and spot-treat whatever is bothering me that day. Maybe it's a finger. Maybe it's my shoulder. Maybe it's my knee after a long day.
It's become part of my routine.
One thing I've noticed is that I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. Of course, I know that's not just because of one product. Living an active lifestyle, eating well, and avoiding alcohol all play a role. But Jim's CBD has become one more tool that helps me stay moving and feeling my best.
Still Catching Nine Innings
One of my favorite places to be is behind home plate.
I currently catch all nine innings in a men's fast-pitch baseball league. If you've ever caught a baseball game, you know exactly what that demands from your body—squatting inning after inning, blocking balls in the dirt, taking foul tips, getting up and down hundreds of times, and staying focused until the final out.
Years ago, I would have expected to pay for that the next morning.
Today?
I honestly feel great.
That's my experience, and it's one of the reasons I continue to keep Jim's CBD within arm's reach.
Why We Keep Coming Back
There are plenty of CBD creams on the market.
What keeps us reaching for Jim's CBD isn't the label—it's the way it fits into our daily lives.
Whether it's sore hands after yard work, a stiff shoulder after coaching baseball, tired knees after a long day, or simply taking care of those old bumps and bruises that seem to stick around a little longer than they used to, it's become something we genuinely rely on.
When you use something every day, you stop thinking about it as a product.
It just becomes part of your routine.
That's exactly what Jim's CBD has become in our house.
