Dear Hearts;
I KNOW she meant no harm-hence the response above,if you read it carefully.It's just that I was pulling 18-20 hour days and eating anything I want when I was well-AND BARELY GETTING BY AS AN HONOR STUDENT.I had to quit when I was passing out from the pain and going blood until I got it under control.I was on my way to Yale after all the heartache I had caring for my parents with thier cancer and going through hell in school to stay on top-and then THIS happened,taking away the only leg up I had-it broke my heart.When she made that crack to me,it was like having an open wound scratched by Brillo.I know she didn't MEAN it,but that didn't make it hurt any less.So forgive me for being a human being.If I hurt anyone's feelings,I'm sorry and that's sincere.But if anyone's looking for me to apologize for RESPONDING the way I did to her,forget it.I was the wronged one here and if you all can't see that,I'm sorry.I actually was a lot MORE polite with my response to her then I normally am-and that's because I KNEW there was no malice intended by Tina's crack.Again-for those of you thinking I'm a complete [censored],I'm sorry.I DO want to say thank you to all the wonderful responses and suggestions I got to my question-especially to sueAngell,who's words of encouragement are greatly apprieciated.I'd apprieciate it if we could keep this thread going-anyone else having the same problems can jump aboard anytime,please.
Again-if I hurt Tina's feelings-I'm sorry.But do me a favor-think about my situation and try and put yourself in my shoes.And think about how amusing your comment would really be in that situation.(Yeah,I know,now everyone and his mother is gonna jump on me for being a crybaby.Whatever.I said my piece and was very honest.Again,Tina,I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.And that's sincere.)
Sincerely,
Andrew L.

It's already forgotten. I don't hold grudges. And I will not say anything of that sort again. I had no idea you were going through such an intense time.
Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Tina
p.s. I'm not trying to worry you, but you mentioned blood in your stool. Have you had testing to make sure it's just IBS and nothing more serious? (Not trying to freak you out, I promise!)

No,that's a legitimate question.I had a colonoscopy done just 7 months ago-there was some ulceration-now mostly healed-and that's where the blood was coming from,they think.The biopsy was negative,thank God.
Glad we cleared this up.

Good to hear you had a colonsocopy and it came back as all clear.

You know it occurs to me, maybe they're trying to keep people with IBS out of Yale. To weed them out, overtly or covertly.

Haha.  But seriously,they want superhuman people or people that at least GIVE THE APPEARANCE of being so.That's why cheating is rampant there,as at most power schools.Someone like me is considered a bad show for them.
