to be there for me.

It was my back,

and they made it

into some kind of

community tragedy.

It wasn't just your back.

You were about to have a baby.

Well, that was a long time ago.

And I can count on one hand

the number of times

you've talked about it.

All right, look, I will

go to the funeral. Okay?

What do you want to eat?

Nothing. I'm going out.

With who?

With Andy.

Will his wife be there?

Oh, I hope so.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

I was starving.

I went ahead.

I got you a drink.

Thanks.

What's going on?

You okay?

It's this back.

I gotta have

an operation for the,

you know, disk thing.

Again?

What about the shots?

They're not working.

One doctor says it's autoimmune.

The other one

says it was the

original operation.

I don't know.

When do they want

you to have it?

Six months ago.

Oh, Hazel.

I mean,

your stubbornness

is gonna kill you.

There's worse ways to go.

Listen, there's a great

rehabilitation facility.

It's in North Bay.

Are you crazy?

I'm not leaving my house.

Your mom can't carry you.

I'd like to see her try.

Maybe I can help some.

I could come over maybe

once or twice a day.

What would your wife say?

My wife?

My wife would say

that you're having surgery

to get me under your roof again.

She's a riot.

Here you go, Hazel.

You two seem to be in sync.

You jealous?

You gotta go.

No, I should go.

I should go, Hazel.

I'll...

I'll get you next time.

Wait. I mean,

while I have you here,

I just thought

maybe you could

help me with this.

This a**hole cop

got me on the way

back from hockey.

Sure.

Okay, thanks.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

We don't open for

a couple of minutes,

but come on in.

It's cold.

Hmm.

Have a seat

wherever you like.

Coffee's brewing.

Some hot water, if you have it.

That one of those green teas?

It's damiana,

natural tonic.

Oh.

Get a lot of truckers

this time of the morning,

but you don't

look like a trucker.

I'm not.

Well, cook should be

here any minute if you

want to see a menu.

Just berries, if you have.

Yeah.

Sorry, it comes with melon.

Are you a doctor?

I specialize

in methods

that conventional

medicine ignores.

What kind of methods?

Many diseases

can manifest through

our environment.

What we eat, how we live,

and just as we may

create our illness,

our bodies can be healed.

And that works on, uh...

On sick people?

If they are pure

of heart and mind, yes.

My daughter Rose is...

She's sick.

They call them seizures,

but it's like

she falls over dead.

They think it's a brain tumor.

How old is she?

She's 12.

And straightway the

damsel arose and walked,

for she was of the age of 12.

And they were

overcome with wonder.
