She has no answers to a 3 year old question of "why am I so exhausted?" She's a physical therapist and when I've mentioned this, she dismisses it because she wants, as she puts it, an answer. She wants it to be hypothyroidism or an adrenal tumor or something wrong with her kidneys...she's on doctor #7, seeing the chief of staff at a local hospital now, but he doesn't know the answer either.<br /><br />The unknowing seems the worst.<br /><br />BTW, in other news, now that I've seen your picture on facebook, I am astounded at how much (identical, really) you resemble my aunt Gracemarie (her maiden name is Ortiz). She's from Laredo and has always made a clear distinction when the subject comes up that she is Spanish, not Mexican. I guess I'm going to have to believe her now, seeing you.Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843150280542615265noreply@blogger.com
