around they don't know what it is they mostly say it's stress only I know what's wrong with me we do huh when I started running I was almost by accident my mother said I had stolen the star from the sky and I would look up into the night and I'd wonder which side stolen then I got scared so I realized if I had stolen the star it wouldn't be up there it would be with me and wouldn't God want it back I'm saying God came and took his stuff stuck it back up in the sky maybe he doesn't want me runni

d can settle down and be normal for family just be together when will I be able to run again well you may be able to run again someday when well I'm recommending radiation therapy to shrink your thyroid Gale and I expect very good results from that but the side effects can be very uncomfortable now the beta blockers will help your body through all of that to protect you but Gail you've got to understand one thing what this whole treatment is going to slow you down it'll be a very long time befor

e before you have the energy to run again hold up Dr Otis call me she told me about your illness so I took orders to convince you oh come on I knew there was something wrong but just couldn't put my finger on I did try to call you hey you're gonna beat this you might even run again you don't know anything about my business Bobby thank you yeah let's go there's my ride you all right it's cool come on let's go you have reached the international athletic medical hotline so following our list of dru

gs banned by current guidelines all steroids corticotropin urethropoietin and somatotrophin are also included in this group all beta blockers are also banned if the use of any banned drug is detected the offender is subject to due process and possible expulsion from the game for two years to life [Music] no no are you sick no not one not one you haven't taken one I'm not gonna sit here no no don't understand I do understand I know right now you gotta stop girl you gotta stop I'm not taking a no

right before she listens to me she always has no no in a long time and you know when that stopped you can't sleep her hair is falling out legs bleed her face heals so will you please tell her to take the beta blockers I don't know I'll think about it okay I'll think about um hey hey how's it going all right Pain's not as bad as they say good and the radiation will be over soon how soon enough oh soon enough to buy some milk I don't think we should be worried about Barcelona right now this grass
