Bhah! Although this was highly entertaining, I think you are being quite hard on yourself. Have you considered this *could* be a classic ego problem with the physician?

I’m sorry to hear that your legacy was destroyed by rogue poop crumbs. Happens to the best of us - it’s ok to not be ok.

First of all, my condolences on your loss. But it’s only natural that all dynasties must end. Think about how much more poignant your biopic will be when it includes an epic comeback story? That’s what you’ve gotta keep telling yourself.

Also, this is the funniest piece I’ve read on the ‘stack in ages. This part in particular had me LOLing-

“I guzzled with gusto. I failed to beat my world record guzzling time from a couple of years ago, but that was okay.”

A friend got the "prep" talk and it hit her hard as well. So cool that you coached a tennis team! I'm sure you'll make a comeback!

I did not know you had Crohn's. My son (he's 32) was diagnosed with UC in early July. The months leading up to that were horrendous for him. I hope all is well, colonically speaking, with you.

Yeah, that’s what the doctor calls it, at least. It’s always been pretty mild and I only take oral meds.
