Truly blessed

For all the medical issues I have, for all the uncertainty that exists in my future, for all the modifications I need to make to my lifestyle... I feel honestly and truly blessed.

Yes. I have an incurable disease that can possibly lead me down a path towards  dialysis, organ transplant, lifelong immunosuppressive drugs and early death.

But...

I don't have diabetes.

I don't have a history of aneurysms in my family.

My blood pressure is well-managed.

My risk for cardiovascular events is low.

I work for a company with good healthcare.

My job allows me the flexibility to go to doctor appointments and labs. 

I have friends and family who love and support me.

Could be much, much worse.
