Fox gives encouraging update on his health: 'I realized I could find gratitude'

Michael J.
Fox was a rapidly ascending star in the 1980s on television as Alex P.
Keaton on Family Ties and on the big screen as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future  franchise.
Then he was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's privately in 1991 at just 29 years old, and once he publicly revealed his condition in 1998, his legacy shifted from movie star to fierce advocate.
Now 60, Fox spoke on his health for this week's issue of People, including spinal cord surgery he had in April 2018 and a subsequent fall that broke his arm.

Because this sucks.'...
I realized I could find gratitude.
