Are you grateful for your health?

I am.

And mine is failing.

The sweating is far worse.

There's a constant pain in my neck. Never mind the frequent tingling (initial exam in 2 weeks, MRI to follow)

My arms get very tired very quickly.

Lord knows life will be made cruel by the inclusion of something to want to live for, right before the end...

2. Every day Hypno Toad.

Just today I went to the third level undergroundparking lot,cause it's usually empty. There was a guy in a wheelchair doing circles around and around for exercise I think. It made me very thankful that I can get up and walk.

4. I'm Said To Have a Good Attitude About It

I have a bunch of kidney problems (early stage renal failure, pass stones every 30-45 days, chronic infection that's been going on 3+ years that very painful surgery didn't help, etc), my right arm is so damaged I have lost about 75% use/strength, I have peripheral neuropathy, inflammatory bowel disease, inflammatory arthritis and a bunch of other crap, but I'm not dead so I'm fairly content.

8. My dear Hypno......

I am so sorry, sweetie...I know you're struggling with so many things...:hug:

But I am grateful for my health.....even though I have to take a bunch of pills....

They make it possible for me to go on living, and I hope to, for a very long time.....
