Me & My Conditions

Got a “tummy-ache?” Feeling a bit “under the weather?” I’ll trade you one of my “conditions” for your lone ailment. I’ve watched the television commercials and learned how “devastating” a “Touch of Diabetes” can be to a family. I can certainly relate to that – after 33603 personal insulin injections. I can (also) empathize with ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease – got that) CHF (Congestive Heart Failure – almost killed me this year); Carotid Artery Blockage (Moderate on one side); Aortic Stenosis – that one runs in the family; Colon – you name it I got it – problems; and don’t forget the lung diseases I particularly enjoy gasping for breath. (This is just a summation.) Yet here I am banging out a book detailing the (physical) answers to “What’s wrong with you?”
