How would you respond?

I have inflammatory bowel disease. A 'friend' said to me:

"I visited a friend yesterday who has diabetes and had to have his leg taken off. With all its complications its tough. I guess in your case you have to be grateful."

I am livid. I didn't say anything at the time but now want to respond. What should I say?
