Being sleepy eyed and sid-the-sloth-like, the way i usually am at the beginning, middle and end of everyday, i spotted this article in the newspaper today:
Which led me to thinking...the conclusion of which is this: I acknowledge I have the disease. But I choose to live with it. Be a role model. Like all those women you read about who have survived deadly diseases and write motivational, see-the-upside articles about it. And if the disease does get to me, I choose to die a martyr.
The brief Peep-into-vetti's-head moment is now over...you may all get back to whatever you were doing. :P
In the present instance, going back to the liver-pill circular, I had the
ReplyDeletesymptoms, beyond all mistake, the chief among them being "a general
disinclination to work of any kind."
What I suffer in that way no tongue can tell. From my earliest infancy I have
been a martyr to it. As a boy, the disease hardly ever left me for a day. They
did not know, then, that it was my liver. Medical science was in a far less
advanced state than now, and they used to put it down to laziness.
"Why, you skulking little devil, you," they would say, "get up and do
something for your living, can't you?" - not knowing, of course, that I was ill.
And they didn't give me pills; they gave me clumps on the side of the head.
And, strange as it may appear, those clumps on the head often cured me - for
the time being. I have known one clump on the head have more effect upon
my liver, and make me feel more anxious to go straight away then and there,
and do what was wanted to be done, without further loss of time, than a whole
box of pills does now.
You know, it often is so - those simple, old-fashioned remedies are sometimes
more efficacious than all the dispensary stuff.
