Merci frère Patrick,
My brother who just died a few days ago had 
such pains. I remember once seing his back which was with
 a big red spot so red that it was like fire !
Mother has also brokens bones, most of them except two, as she used to pick men as she worked in an Old Age Home, 
in order to help them ! So, it's very hard for her to walk ! And for months, she
 drag  herself more slowly that an turtle! She walks
 better now having endured that and still has many pains; she saw a right chiro lady who really helped her; plus she cures herself in different ways and 
prayers  helps too !!! Plus she eats like crasy: as if she is an teenager, 
enjoying life !
Since, 4 called me f.g..t and tried to kill me all at once, they beat me up with 2 by 4s, glass, etc., and left me for dead, so my bones are broken too, and they don't know that 
I enjoy still my life ! God saved me as they taught that I was dead. I 
enjoy writing to you even if my fingers are in pain !
And life is ups and downs as you know. Get well... you will 
more and more !
I long for your posts,  cherishing them mon ami !
Au revoir, hugs!  You are seeing doctors, dentists, eating right 

 Not to worry to much about gay bashing, as you are being preventative ? You pray still for best ? May I ask ?
