You never appreciate your health until.....
by zenpunk inhi all - i know i haven't posted here in a very long time and unfortunately the reason why hasn't been good.. life was good throughout the summer, travel, college, excitement.
until one day i was sitting in my first class airline seat (i'm a big-time frequent business flyer) on the way back from kansas city and i noticed a lump under my arm.
i went to the doctor and was told it was nothing and they took it out.
