You have to know that we are getting old. My body hurts me a lot. I have many problems inherent in the passage of time. A moment ago he you have to know how to stop rather than being stopped by things . So I decided that it was finished . It's a whole set of things '. The interpreter of I am sick, almost octogenarian, finds it difficult to separate himself from his public, but he knows that he no longer really has a choice.

Subsequently, he was immobilized for a year and a half and operated on 14 times .
