You know the saying that ‘the left controls the right and the right controls the left’? Well, me neither… If you met me today, you wouldn’t notice that I have been through something like this. I do feel the side effects of it on the left side of my body which I won’t tell you what they are so you guys can have a guess!!! Disabled? Nah, I never felt better in my life. I feel ABLE to do anything in life la
