Hi Sam,

I am glad you enjoyed the video. She just put out a book called SuperBetter, ...of course. I wish I could send it to you!

Listen, Sometimes you just gotta cry. Let that junk outta there, just don't get mired in it. I am not surprised that you are feeling bad this morning. You made it through the week and likely had your game face on most of the time. That takes effort and eventually you need a break from being so strong.

I know how hard it is waiting, waiting, waiting to find out what is wrong. I went through nine months of intense, intractable pain from a nerve injury caused during a minor ortho procedure. There was a lot of crying goin' on during all that. It took what felt like forever to figure out with visits to endless specialists and workup that left most doctors baffled. I didn't give up, even though I had been told there was nothing else to be done. I finally found the right specialty and ended up having a 3.5 hour repair done on my nerve. Then there is the 2 year recovery from that type of procedure. My point is that grit and determination DO pay off. I know it wears you out to keep at this but DO NOT GIVE UP on your body. Take a day at a time or even five minutes at a time if you have to.

Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself to feel emotionally exhausted and to rest. It's okay and expected. Find ways to give yourself some peace and diversion. Dave made some great suggestions as always.

Sending more hugs,
