Being Alive

Sometimes, I complain about little ailments in my life.  The occassional fever, or perhaps an injury that needs repair.  I've broken one bone, needed 15 stitches to close a would on my head from a ice skating incident, and I've needed surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon.  But these heal and I go on my merry way.

Some people, though, deal with illnesses that are terminal, or have no cure.  I can't imagine what that is like.  I have my few quirks in my body, but compared to other people's medical issues, mine pale in comparison.

I'm thankful to be alive and relatively healthy.  And for those that have those unique illnesses, I have a desire to support you and do what I can to make your life easier.
