Add to the endless appointments required; now, we also have to be considerate of healthcare systems under pressure. Guess who gets the short end of the stick? We pay with our lives. Perhaps healthcare systems were destined to burst their stitches because healthCARE was never built to care for people; it was made to keep people relying on it. That's not care. Can taking more ownership of our health make a difference?

But first, shall I reflect? The earliest evidence of being able to again participate in life was the posting of my first Instagram. It was July 2011, a few months before I began this website.
