Dedication
This book is dedicated to Julia, my wife. Without her support I doubt if I would have made it this far. For that I am eternally grateful.
I’d also like to thank my family and friends for their help in the difficult times and last, but not least, the medical professionals who have kept a failing body in working condition.
This book is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of physicians. The reader should consult a physician in matters relating to his/her health and to any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention.
