grrrrrrrrrr

i just called my folks to tell them i started the cleanse. they pretended to be interested, which was nice. then i proposed the theory that my brother (who eats for shit) who has been suffering from joint problems and muscle aches may have an impacted colon. this has actually happened before, and he had to spend the night in the hospital with a tube up his nose and down his throat, pumping a vile, viscous liquid into his stomach and through his intestines to excavate the tar-like dead shit bacteria and hardened mucous that had him "backed up". my mother told me to "stop it". i can NOT believe what horrible denial she is in. i understand she feels guilty for not setting any boundaries with him as far as food, and now he has innumerable heath problems because of it. but to completely shoot down what is in all likelyhood the most probable theory as to why my brother feels like shit all the time is UNBELIEVEABLE. whateve. im going to drink more lemonade.
