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 33,603 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.)
