> MaximeMaxi, I have a weird thought for you about this:
You say you're eating right now? I know that you've been -- uh -- a little -- er -- erratic in your eating recently, so are you now eating more regularly? If so, I'm wondering if it might be related to the amount of energy required for you to digest food? (Of course, I'm asking about this because I'm exhausted most of the day right now because of this very thing: takes me about two and a half hours to eat lunch, and then I have to nap for another hour to recover from it. My N says that should pass as I get more consistent in eating. She didn't say how long it would take, though... {sigh} )
Another thought is that you've really been through the wringer lately, and I can only imagine how much emotional energy that has drained away from you. I wonder if you are just really and truly wrung out right now? Maybe it's time to allow yourself a couple of days to rest and recharge?
I wish there was something we could do for you, Maxi. I feel for you, and hope you find your doctor has had his ears cleaned out enough that he can hear again soon.
(Remember: statistically, one quarter of all doctors graduate in the bottom 25% of their class. And you know what you call the guy who graduates last in his class in med school? "Doctor")
