Re: MIKE - SOD

[Guest guest]

Interesting you should ask...

On my way home tonight, I'm supposed to pick up an exercis bike from

Sears.

My evil rheumatologist still won't let me run, but has conceded that

I can try and work up a serious sweat. So I'll start slow and see how

it goes.

And it isn't that we men are so much stronger in dealing with

illness -- it's that we all (no exceptions to this, I mean ALL of us

men) suffer in silence, and ask for help or assistance from no one

during our times of trial.

Especially husbands.

Stay cool.
