My Crohns Life: Fun Facts

Since my diagnosis, I have been a "professional sick person" and living with Crohn's disease for approximately:

34 years, 4 months and 23 days

that's...

412 months and 23 days...

1794 weeks and 5 days...

12,563 days...

301,512 hours...

18,090,720 minutes...

1,085,443,200...201...202...203 seconds

Furthermore, the earth is 24,902 miles. If you walk an average of 3 mph, it would take you 8300 hours if you didn't stop and you kept up that pace. That's 345 days.  (Quora.com)

So, having said all that and factoring in those facts, if I started walking around the world the first day I was diagnosed, I would have gone around 36 times by now! 

Things that make you go, hmmmmm.
