On my "gastric stimulator"

Okay, the gastroparesis responded to using the Sativa to stimulate gut function.

And I am still not doing it or having a fake one put in.

Why, daresay do I decide upon such "suicide."  The answer is simple.  It hurts like heck!

It makes it neither straightforward nor an easy decision, but I am also not one thing, and that is a masochist.  I may weigh in at a smashing 175 and at 6'0 some doctors would say I am maybe a bit thin, but of a healthy weight.

One neurologist would tend to disagree.  He may no longer be mine (jump ship when I need you and I don't tend to stick around), but what I refuse to do is inflict pain on others-or myself.

Am I inflicting more pain by going ahead and not treating?  Call it quality of life issues, and when discussing my own, pain issues, are one, and when in enough physical pain, many people eventually blow the lid.

I plan not to be one~and plan also to remain seizure free long enough to get a driver's license back, and to stop being so irritable.  When I already remain in my home because I prefer to keep company of people who are not going to screw up vaping a half gram or maybe a bowl after I visit with my son, then I plan to remain in the group who experience some pain control.

And for too long, pain is one thing that has been out of control.  I may have medical marijuana, but I'm limited on the steroid issue, but also I am liking the feelings of not feeling like I'm in so much pain I am going to lose it.

Current need for surgery to which a solution is neither easy or also a surgery isn't something I volunteer for without a distinct need.  I have been guesstimated that to be of a totally healthy weight, I need to be around 185 pounds to be considered "healthy."

I still do not care for the increased pain-salad bowls did not help.  So, faced with a hard decision, I decided not to cause too much more damage lead to by increased pain.

Some things are just not worth it.
