The duodenum is a C-shaped section of the small intestine that connects directly to the stomach. Medical text books generally state that digestive juices and enzymes from the liver, gallbladder and pancreas empty into the duodenum to aid digestion. Gallbladder?! That’s literally nothing more than a reservoir for the bile given to it by the liver! Stop giving the gallbladder credit for something it doesn’t deserve! Okay, medical rant over.

I ended up being off today, so instead of using that time for something worthwhile I took advantage of the opportunity to finish the latest chapter of “Make It All Better.” I’ve written very few stories in which I’ve become so attached to the characters. The only other one would be “Eddie Forever,” which I took down because I am trying to convert it into a legit novel (by adding some subplot to replace the underage incest sex scenes).

So my dad died recently. He was very old, and was refusing treatment because he was tired of how debilitated he had become, so I’m at peace with it. He had a good life. But this morning, I had my first “I have to remember to tell him about...oh, wait, I can’t” moment, and that made me a little sad.
