My feet. I have created numbness in my feet, which is due to diabetes. I've got a dropped foot on my left foot, which doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment. But it was a problem, you know, a year or three back. So it was attributed to diabetes. I saw a man actually at the Cromwell. He attempted to identify what it was, but I don't think he got too far along the the along the turnpike on that one. But yes, I'm aware that there are problems. And, you know, I think part of the problem of losing my balance, which I did at one time, involved inadequate blood supply in my legs, which Mr. Usman Jaffa was able to, I think address and introduce more blood into my foot or feet, shall I say.
