Re: Awesome post...very visual..
the answer is as varied as there are individuals on the planet. frankly, i see it as a personal problem. what i wish to stress is that there are children out there who never have to confront these things. it is a matter of education of the parents. the earlier the training starts, the better.
as for the rest of us, it takes effort and costs us in pain and discomfort and inconvenience and we must persevere to the end to avoid the morphine pump in the hospital. after all, we brought this on ourselves, regardless of the fools out there making and selling us this stuff.
the most ludicrous notion anyone can have is that they get well so they can resume the lifestyle they had chosen that got them sick. tammy faye bakers dream was to eat a hamburger without it making her feel bad. the gluten intolerant person dreams of being well so they can eat pizza again. the cirrhosis patient wants a new liver so they can drink again. its unreal. it would be better if they just took another prilosec and went back for seconds and not worry about it.
