My favorite saying:
I've learned.... That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.
We'll listen....always. Your story makes me want to cry. I've had ARD for a while but in a very mild form so far. I'll be having a laproscopy soon and I hope it is as easy as the last one.
Now a (kind of sick) funny:
--WHO'S IN CHARGE?
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.
The brain said, "I should be in charge, because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
The blood said, "I should be in charge, because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."
The stomach said, "I should be in charge, because I process food and give all of you energy."
The legs said, "I should be in charge, because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."
The eyes said, "I should be in charge, because I allow the body to see where it goes."
The rectum said, "I should be in charge, because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery and the blood was toxic.
They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.
The Moral of the story...
You don't have to be important to be in charge... Just an asshole!!!
