70 And Not Getting Up
Dear Helen,
Having read your column fairly regularly in the Better Health magazine, I never thought I would write to you to address a query I have. It is embarrassing for me as a man, so that I cannot even talk to my friends or my long time doctor. I wonder too in spite of their bravado, if any of them have this problem too.
