Now I can be a dad again.

and failed many times after marginal success.

I knew I had gained weight,

but I didn't realize how far I had fallen out of shape. I had fallen deep into "dad mode". Having twins can do that to anyone I suppose.

While I was in the military they messed up both my knees and my right shoulder.

I no longer have cartilage in my knees and my shoulder comes out of socket easily.
