... add in the testosterone factor.. boys are programmed to be "macho"..

I did my best to raise my sons differently, and have to say i've had more success than most.
Living with my tragic accident and their witnessing the consequences etc validates me as they get older.

Many guys in the family have had much less injuries to their backs, but suffer much more than my sons witnessed me go thru. All of them have pain, but I live with out it.

Seeing is believing
