s How can I help you today?
s s s s s I've been unusually tired for the
s s s s s
last few weeks... Well, maybe
s s s s s
longer, like a few months. I'm
s s s s s s
not sure. I think it is because I'm
s s s s s s s s
not getting any sleep because I
s s s s s s
have to get up and pee so much
s s s s s s s s
during the night. My wife has
s s s s s s
been telling me I needed to
s s s s s s
come and get it evaluated. She
s s s s s s
thought I might have
s s s s
something wrong with my
s s s s
kidneys.
