"It's not like popping a couple aspirin. It'll take a couple weeks for you to start...really feeling things improve, okay?" Is that too long? Jay's patient, isn't he? He's had to be, with shit like this hanging over his head. Waiting for answers and never knowing when they might come, if ever.

God. What a mess.
