Update on Zack's Seed Implantation

Last time I wrote about Zack, he had been about to go for his seed implantation. That was about a month ago. So I thought I should check up on him. Here was his email response: “Urgency. Frequency: Those were terms I thought I understood – until now!” I phoned to get a better view of things. While Zack was in no pain, the warnings about... Read moreChevron
