I know I have a serious problem Bizi
Unfortunately trying the rice didn't change anything. I got the same pain after I ate, followed by the usual heartburn. I'm regurgitating all day, not just after I eat. I know that I have to get this taken care of soon or I'm going to end up in the hospital.
The appointment with the GI doc isn't until May 12th, but I'm hoping the phone will ring.


My father owns about 75% of the family business and one aunt owns about 25%. The other aunt owns about 2%, having sold the rest of her shares to my father. Saturday my MIL texted my husband a link to an article from the local paper leading to the discovery that my father made a $750K land deal (the land is easily worth 5x that amount) with the town without my aunt's knowledge. The sad part is that this is not the first super sketchy thing he has done relating to the business. It's not even the worst thing. It's just the first time he's been caught red-handed. He and the business are/were in deep financial trouble. I'm sure his intention is to use most of the money for personal use since he's done such things in the past. He gave my aunt the "it was hard enough for me to do" excuse, and there's been no talk of her receiving any money.

Things like this make me wonder why I try to maintain a relationship with my father. Sadly, his behavior here doesn't surprise me at all. I don't know what number I'd come up with if I tried to calculate what percent a- hole he is, but I bet it would be pretty ****ing high. I got worked up about this initially, but I realize this really is between my father and aunt and I've pretty much let go of it. I'll weigh in, but it won't matter unless I **** him off. He has a sense of entitlement, the ends justify his means, and he won't give a **** what anyone thinks about what he did.
