So, we have MD. Is that something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day?
I kinda think so. Considering all the ailments and impairments available to us ... especially someone as old as me ... I am damn thankful for MD.

No pain. No meds (except those expensive vitamins)

Vision impaired but not blind. I can still see beauty even though not so detailed and precise ... but we know that there is more to beauty than the visual - much more.

MD doesn't affect motor skills. So, MD alone does not cripple us.

So, what do you think ... can we say thanks for MD on Thanksgiving Day?

I don't have MD, but three of my family members do--two aunts, and my late mother. 0 "
