Being sick doesn't mean you have to be totally stagnant.
I have had to make a ton of changes in my life - more so over the past two years than any other time (apart from when I first became ill at age 14).
But making changes and giving up certain activities does not mean that I can't still have a zest for life! It just means that my activities have to be different, more relaxed, and I have to allow people to help me out...
I have had the opportunity to do some pretty cool things since I became sick - and partially BECAUSE I became sick! I wanted to (and still want to) really cherish and take advantage of my life. I want to take every opportunity that I can.
So here are some pictures of me doing things despite the struggles:
Camping:
Houseboating:
Learning how to wake surf:
Performing:
Playing ball:
Flying a plane:
Traveling:
Fishing:
Attending a friend's wedding: 
Golfing:
Not to mention some of the even cooler things that I did a long time ago - like bungee jumping and zip lining, plus all of the amazing people that are in my life, the shows that I have been able to see, the sports events, the times with friends, and all of the things that I have done in my life that I have considered to be great accomplishments.
Over the last two years my life has really become mostly about doctors... But I figure that if I can do one really cool thing a year, maybe a few camping trips every summer, then it's all worth it! I may not be able to do much for the majority of the time, but the days that I CAN do something, I want to go all out and really enjoy it!
Let's make the good days really shine!
