Bun Tai Bulletin 53: Progress

Dear All,
This past week was good, I slept better and was in less pain than any previous week over the last 2 months. I found myself being able to walk down the street again, the pain is still almost constant, but I’m finding it much more bearable. Emotionally I’m doing much better too.
