HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hello Friends and Patients,
2012 has arrived. I know most of us will be making resolutions to improve our lives. I need to continue losing weight, improve my endurance, be more loving to people and be more productive. That’s just a start. It seems overwhelming to say the least. I came across this list of suggestions to help us live a better life. Hopefully something in it inspires you a little. Let's have a great 2012. As always if you have a painful condition or a simple question about your health please feel free to call me anytime.
“Because you don’t have time for pain!”
