Dearest Martha, This past year has been rather difficult for me. Weather became warmer, I found myself in a great deal of pain. Walking was a challenge and the maneuvers we are called upon to complete were all but an impossibility. Thanks to these magical needles that would pulse like ****REDACTED**** and the amazing hands …
