Those Three Special Words
I've waited 20 years to hear them -- those three special words that provide comfort and clarity. Yes folks, I heard them today, the three most beautiful words I've ever heard: Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The doctor said I have the "classic" symptoms. (So why the hell has it taken 20 years and many, many doctors to figure it out?) Praise be to Dr. Hughes, who led me to the truth and gave me magic little pills that make the pain dissipate immediately. (Damn those ER doctors for scaring me into thinking I needed surgery. Ha! Guess I outsmarted them! ) I'm walking on air today, people! Please join me!
