Gosh, High on Water, I love your heart and enthusiasm! I read the whole post with a weak, sad smile. You see, her body which is obviously very troubled, responded immediately and dramatically. Unfortunately, I had no idea one pill would be so dramatic for her. No, no matter how successful it was, her perception of what happened may have ruined any chances for her to be open minded and pursue it further. Heck, she didn't even try it after surgery - she waited until over a year later when the pain began to return.
I am sad for the future of my friend's health. :-(
