He was born in India He came to the United States To practice what he had learned. He had learned a lot about physical therapy, He used a lot of what he had learned to help me. I was lucky, I got Him for my therapist. He pushed me to my ends. Now, I'm glad he did. Others had said I wouldn't walk. Together we proved them wrong. I couldn't have done it alone. Thanks for Your help Nandu! He has also installed a fighting spirit in me A spirit to overcome every limitation. Others were jealous that he was my therapist. I never knew why! Now, I know why! I'm walking |
