Since the last one some five months ago, he has not been pain free. However, a few weeks ago his bearable pain crossed the line into [...]]]></description>

Comments like, &#8220;I&#8217;m too old to change&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m set in my ways&#8221; are just sad. How can any of us have the presumption to believe that we can [...]]]></description>
