Probably not any different than anybody else. I worry the fact that we don’t have an elevator here, so if he gets to have trouble on the steps, we may have to move—although he doesn’t have any problem with the steps at all. He just has [problems] with the freezing. That concerns me because I sure wouldn’t want to move. That’s such a big job.
