As W.C. Fields proposed his epitaph should read.. "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia".. Sure, I'd rather have avoided this... Be able to eat & drink what I want... feel energetic, not have to worry about diet, or bathroom circumstances..
Or even to have an ailment that isn't so socially embarrassing, so closeted behind bathroom doors. I even find discussing my symptomology with my doctors almost mortifyingly embarrassing... And I'm not looking forward to having an ostomy or spending my latter years in diapers. Yeah, it sucks to have any form of IBD... Big deal. Anger is an emotional stage... You have to work thru it, learn to vent it, you can even turn your anger into something positive if you use it to motivate you in a positive manner... Regardless of what a persons lot in life turns out to be, if you can't get past it, can't turn it around, then the disease wins, and you just lose. OK
