Damm good advice!  You have to live in your body and if there's
something wrong you just can not go out and get a replacement part
like you can for your car.  When I broke my neck years ago I drove
the Drs and nurses up the wall with questions until I was able to
figure out how to live with what I have left (considerably more
than what they expected!).
