"Nah, I don't want to do that. What if they don't fit?" I stared for a minute, "Did you just-" "Yeah, I did. Let's just ignore that I said that, okay?" Naturally the first pair he tried on fit and joined his shoe wardrobe.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982841698817100549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-14193939210646505922010-04-16T14:54:55.871-04:002010-04-16T14:54:55.871-04:00HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-7206372587107314552010-04-15T19:39:51.164-04:002010-04-15T19:39:51.164-04:00Okay, I'm a non-medical professional, and even...Okay, I'm a non-medical professional, and even I think that's idiotic. I tried to see it from her perspective - is it possibly frustration at repeated tests that have failed to show the source of her problem? I recently had some tests that came back normal, after which the doc's office asked if I was still experiencing the problem (Um, yes, still in pain. Was the ultrasound MEANT to be therapeutic?). Even considering that, I can't grasp the logic of demanding abnormal test results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-23888069176124952092010-04-15T18:38:08.462-04:002010-04-15T18:38:08.462-04:00Maybe she has Munchausen syndrome?Maybe she has Munchausen syndrome?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-64605352851560581062010-04-15T15:42:07.842-04:002010-04-15T15:42:07.842-04:00Hey...that's one of my favorite sayings..as in...Hey...that's one of my favorite sayings..as in not having a crystal ball.
