It got to the point where she was sobbing and couldn't walk well. Nothing helped her, and I couldn't do a thing but watch. One night, when I came to give her a drink, I found her asleep next to her tablet. For context, she's been having trouble sleeping due to the pain, and when I looked on her tablet to see what helped her sleep, it was this game!”
