I finally "get" coffee!

After suffering from IBS for the past several years, it really got the better of me this past year.  I won't go into the gory details, but I was getting sick almost every single day.  Hardly anything would calm my stomach.

So, I finally gave into medication.

The change has been so dramatic, I'm declaring that little blue capsule a miracle drug.

The big test to see if it worked was drinking a cup of coffee.  I've NEVER been able to drink even a half cup of coffee before without lots of unpleasant consequences.

Guess what is sitting next to me right now?  A coffee mug . . . WITH COFFEE! 

Yes, I can drink coffee.  And, it even tastes good! 

I would never have imagined this day would come.  Never!

Now I can look like all the other teachers in the fall.  I can carry around a coffee mug (instead of hiding my can of Diet Mountain Dew.)

I feel a little more normal now.
