Nice post Charm!

My house has termites. I had the guys with the nasty spray and bag come over to deal with it. I've already had to take all my food out of it, bag everything that might absorb and hold the poison, rent a motel room for two days, and more. What pain in the ass. At the end of the process, the guys came back and told me that they didn't calculate the volume of the house properly and they would have to leave it bagged for another day and do another additional treatment.

After all that I have been through, do you think I am going to take a chance that there wasn't enough bug juice to kill all those little buggers, and a year later they would just bloom again, maybe even leaving this worse than they are now. And of course some of them will become resistant to the poison and it won't work on them at all? And I would have to go through the whole process all over again, only this time I might have to replace my whole roof because the little guys had a whole year to prosper and to undermine it? Not a chance. I'm going to do it right even if it is a bit more pain in the ass.

The consequences, especially since they have been doing this for years, and they know how much bug poison it takes to kill them all for sure, since it is well calculated and been proven on thousands of houses before mine, by lots of other bug killing companies. I'm going to tough it out..... that's what logic dictates even if there appears to be an easy way out today, ( I mean they probably got them all right? And wishfully, since I am miserable, I really want to believe this is really just overkill) and I really hate this process. What about you?

My radiation treatment side effects didn't really get the worst till 3 weeks after the end of treatment. Since you are going to have a long recovery period, stick out things and get the full treatment the way it was designed from looking at what happened to thousands of patients before you. It isn't going to shorten the crappy recovery symptoms that you are going to have for weeks to come anyway.
