When You Die...

I expect I'll go to the same place that the ocean waves go.

IOW, I won't "go" anywhere. The question doesn't fit the case.
 
Well, at least if we don't "go anywhere", it will be our chance to get away from it all!

"Damn it, Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a (Pearly) Gate Keeper!"
 
As an aside, I work pretty much independently, but at my office I'm on the same floor as all the graphic designers and their manager's name is Jim, so the running gag whenever he asks them to do a task a little beyond their scope is, "Dammit Jim, I'm a graphic designer not a..."

It's lovely.
 
^how about being reborn in Italy? This way you get authentic pizza for some 70 years.
Randy, why can't you eat pizza anymore? Are you allergic to any ingredients? There are plenty of good cooks around here and I bet we can come up with a tasty substitute.
Not allergic, no. I have a Haital Hernia (sp?) that makes eating spicy foods impossible. I actually can eat some of what goes on a pizza, but the sauce not only makes me spew out the "front door" so to speak, but makes me spew really bad out the "back door" if you know what I mean.

Isn't that something that can be fixed?
 
I really like Roger Ebert's statements about death:
I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.
 
When I die I keep on living (a Vorta's fate: immortality because of cloning) - with or without light.
 
Most of the time hiatal hernias don't even cause any symptoms, but yes, they can be treated relatively easily with a laparoscopic procedure.
Yeah, and I attempted to have that done some years ago, only I just couldn't take the tube being shoved down my throat. Believe me, there was nothing "relatively easy" about it. If it isn't food drink or medicine it does not belong in my mouth. My doctor ended up having to give me a pill to take at bedtime.

I had a bronchoscopy some time ago. I was out for that and woke up not feeling like anything had been down my gob. Not sure how different your procedure would be.
 
Ususlly, that surgery is performed under a full narcosis. I'd swap doctors and get a proper treatment.
Considering your medical condition, it's most likely not the spices on the pizza but the yeast in the dough is the culprit (the dough raises again in your stomach which is no prob in a healthy human but can lead to an overfilling of the part of the stomach that's sort of cut off in your case).
How about a potato-pizza instead: lay out a pizza dish with sliced leftover cooked potatos, cover with tomato sauce (or sliced tomatos) and your favourite pizza-ingredients, sprinkle with oregano and mozzarella cheese and bake till the cheese has melted.

I'm not sure if any food is worth dying for, but this gets at least pretty close ;)
