Hawkeye,
May I say that I can somewhat understand your pain. I have never seen my father throw-up, and he is now 76 years of age. I have watched him through illness, hang-overs, injury, emotional pain/drama, etc. and he has never, ever tossed his cookies. I found it very strange, since when you are with family for that long, you have seen them through good times and bad.
I finally asked my Mom why I had never seen him do this. She said. "Oh, your Dad will not allow himself to do that." I often wondered how he managed to stop it, but he is able to somehow. I truly beleive that he may have a phobia about it, but of course I just don't mention it to him.
My daughter also has a problem. Ever since she was a little girl, she would shake, rattle, and roll, it she felt sick to her stomach. She did not want to go to the bathroom. I had to go with her, and hold her tight, until she was finished, and she was just an uncontrolable, shaking mess. To this day, if she thinks someone is ill, she runs the other way.
So, I really think this is so much more common than people realize. I didn't give it too much thought, until I started to read your posts, and then I thought of my own family.
I wish you well with round 2.
Lynn
