Gratitudes 2018, Day 49

  1. Modern medicine. I saw a Facebook memory from three years ago along these lines this morning, which I had labeled “Time”. The problem then was I had a bulging disc in my back that was pressing against the nerve going down the back of my left leg and it hurt. So I was glad that I wasn’t in the past and they were able to fix the problem instead of cutting off my leg to release the evil spirits.

  2. My left leg. I use it. A lot. And there are no evil spirits in it (that I know of…).

  3. Cities Sports Connection. I know I mentioned it when talking about soccer, but it’s relevant here because I found out that the male side of the roster is full on my old Mad Dogs team. However, I was able to register with the league as a “free agent”, so we’ll see what kind of players I get teamed up with. Hopefully pleasant and relatively hygienic—that’s always a good starting point.

  4. Pacemakers. (I got sidetracked after #1… I’m sure it’ll never happen again.) I know several people who have them and I’m grateful that their hearts are still beating instead of doctors opening up their chests to release the evil spirits.

  5. Hospital food. Because you can usually get it and bring it back to a patient’s hospital room. And there are no evil spirits in it (that I know of…).
