Have you ever had a life changing moment on Club Pogo? On the serious note, as I had said earlier, Pogo takes away the intense pain that I experience with my health. I remember when I came home from the nursing home my hands were stiff and my joints were locked, I would play Poppit! just to get my fingers moving, but it also helped my mind to relax to relieve the tension and it helped me laugh. I felt sort of lost. What I like about Pogo is that Pogo is that friend that will always be there to make you laugh to take your thoughts away from everyday burdens.
