He is suffering from nothing other than “use it or lose it”; he needs to start walking, and knows it. I hope to live to 92, but I also want to be active. I’ve always said that I want the option to jump out of an airplane when I’m 80, and to be able to do that means finding something that is quick, easy, and efficient so you can stick with it during everything life throws at you.
