No more crippling pain
Up until a few years ago, thoughts of age had always been foreign to me. It wasn’t until my retirement that I gave it much consideration. But then I started realizing how many of my family members, friends, and acquaintances were passing away.
During that same period, I began to feel strange sensations and pain up and down my leg. It became a daily afternoon experience. For a few months, I had to do all my chores in the morning, because as noon approached, I found myself unable to drive, walk, or sit. This brought on feelings of fear, depression, and helplessness. Then the condition progressed to all-day excruciating pain, loss of balance, loss of weight, and paralysis on one side of my body.
