Today I'm thankful for my health. There was a time not too long ago that I was more like the walking dead than the living. Each morning I had to shuffle to the medicine cabinet for Tylenol to even be able to function. I grew up with a "if it ain't bleedin' or broken you can walk it off" attitude, so it took my lovely wife to get me to the doctor. After a series of tests - read: horrifying invasive experiments - I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, even now nearly a year and a quarter later we're still not sure that's an accurate diagnosis.
So why might I be thankful? Because I've been able to keep working, I've been able to keep taking care of my family and spending time with my friends. As far as crappy diseases go I got one that has enabled me to keep on living my life. For that I can truly be thankful.
