We all have a lot to be thankful for on this day of celebration. We have families that love us, friends that support us and lives filled with at least a few things that we're happy to share with others. One of the most common things that people express thankfulness for at this time of year is the fact that they have their health.
Although our bodies are impressively resilient, they are also rather fragile. We can lose our health in a heartbeat. Literally. And when we suffer from medical problems, we begin to be thankful for the medicine that has helped us get better. In some cases, that medicine has been some sort of preventive health medicine.
Often, it is a scan that we find ourselves grateful for. We're suffering from horrible headaches and a brain scan reveals a tumor that we can have removed before serious damage is done. We catch cancer with a lung scan before it goes to the bones. We are able to make necessary changes to our diet after a bone density scan reveals that failure to make such changes poses risks to our future health.
Preventive health gives us many things to be thankful for. And we want to hear your story. What scan did you have done that you're thankful for this year?
