Like it said, patients and even the doctors said death would be better than those early jobbers.. Talk about depression huh? And here we are still trying our best foot to put forward.  But with the help here, at least I/we don't feel alone..

If only I could have read this article BEFORE my surgeon spent 13 1/2 hours trying to straightenout my intestinal tract. Then, I wouldn't be so resentful to my situation.
