So, The Man has an ulcer, for all you out there who didn't know that already. A bleeding one at that. Fun times for all. He went to the doctor a while ago though, and was given Prevacid. Now, I'm not a big fan of prescription meds, as my job and desire to be a Master Herbalist will attest. I believe, very very strongly, that Heavenly Father put everything we need to heal ourselves on this earth; that there is no need for us to try to find chemical versions of these natural medicines. Especially since the drug companies insist on charging us so much money for the chemical versions. But then, so do the supplement companies that sell the natural versions. BUT, if it comes down to it, I'm sending my family to the doctor. Because those chemicals DO work, I just don't like them.
Anyway, the Prevacid is helping. So is the cayenne, fennugreek, and marshmallow root. And the apple cider vinegar did wonders for his pain, when it would flare up. And apparently it worked really well, because, even though it apparently tasted disgusting, he kept taking it when the ulcer would hurt. Twice a day for about 4 days. He hasn't had to take it at all in a couple of days. Yay! Oh, and apparently, though he hasn't tried this yet, aloe vera juice will heal it too. But why mess with what's working, right? Also, apparently I like the word apparently. Apparently a lot.
As for me, well, the middle toe on my left foot hurts, for no apparent reason, and has for 3 weeks now. Ever since I started my new position. It hurts to walk, stand, run, sit, sleep, everything. It really sucks. And I have to get up at 5:30 AM TWICE next month, because the store manager is a sadist and insists on having the employee meetings and manager meetings at 7 AM. Not too bad a time, if you live a few minutes away, but when you live half an hour away, and it takes you an hour just to get showered, dressed, and eat, well, then you know The Manager hates you. *sigh* Why did I want this job again?
