What's in a Name?

It took me over 3 months to start my blog because I wanted the perfect name. Is this it? Of course not. I've had great ideas over the years, I just can't remember most of them. Now I'm probably stepping on others toes (sorry) and connecting myself unintentionally with Multiple Sclerosis. Everyone's heard of the Big C. I've had the Big 3: HIV, Brain Tumor, Breast Cancer. This is not to leave out the smaller players: Lyme disease, chronic insomnia, hysterectomy, etc., etc. I've filled out more patient questionnaires at more physician offices than a birth control-free Catholic family of ten would in a lifetime. I used to get perturbed at the task. Now I find it a bit amusing. First I check all the boxes of every diagnosis I've had. Then there's the list of surgeries. Finally, my list of prescriptions that doesn't always fit in the space provided. Then there's my favorite question: How would you describe your health. In all seriousness, I check the "Good" box. I hope, along with me, they have a chuckle at the irony. After all, laughter, good insurance, and a healthcare background really are the best medicines.
