Thanks so much for the understanding, all of you, both publicly here and by IM...and thank you too for those who shared your own pain to help me try to heal. There is evidently nothing under the sun that happens only to one of us. I loved the rose analogy so much, and the support is, as ever, incredibly touching. I've felt like such a fraud on this trip, and to finally be able to take a moment to tell you all why I've been having a horrible spring and summer has been healing, all on its own.

Trina, I hope you are right that it's merely physical, and that there's a resolution--and yes, my husband has complained of exhaustion since early in our marriage. It had become so much background noise after all these years. Your words also give me hope...if modern medicine can fix this, I would be forever grateful.
