Yes, Tom has been prescribed and is taking the generic version of Prilosec, but still has to adhere to a diet that doesn't cause acid reflux.
At times I really wish I COULD cry, but it's something I had trouble doing even as a kid. Easier, perhaps, when I'm angry and frustrated than other reasons. Sigh. Except during menopause when I'd tear up inappropriately at the damnedest things.
Right now fighting to get full pay for the time I had to take off work the week of Tom's surgery. I have the hours available, but there seem to be some rules on the increments in which they may be used. Don't know yet, but this could lead to suitable frustration to release tears.
