His was 48 weeks. That is a long time to take medicine that makes you sick but he's clueless so he did it. Now he is just fine, looks great, why he even let the gardener go because he is retired now and he prefers to do these things himself. I know you are just starting down the road but I wanted to say that there are still wonderful times ahead. This too shall pass.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent;
