My poor health

I got in trouble the other day when taking a survey for Friedreich's ataxia, I said my overall health was a 4 on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is near death and 10 is godlike.

Mom, who was helping me fill out the survey, disagreed. My sister thought I was stupid.

Frankly, I thought I might have ranked myself too high.

I have FA. FA has screwed up my:

• heart
• ears
• bladder
• GI system
• swallowing
• mind (depression)
• and on and on.

I don't see how anyone with FA could be higher than a 5, so considering that my health is great: a 4 out of 5.
