It Could Be Worse

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to a treatment or cure to be found for PC. I’ve especially wanted that for my children – and all the children out there - to be helped, even more so than for me.  I still do. However, lately things have happened that have made me realize there are worse things in life than having PC. Everything is relative I suppose, even in the PC family. People who only have PC nails think nails are the worst thing. For those with painful calluses and who struggle with walking, that may be the worst thing and the nails don’t seem so bad. For those with debilitating cysts, or even cysts on their face, that may be the worst thing. And sometimes other things occur in life and all of a sudden maybe those nails aren’t so bad, or maybe those feet or cysts aren’t the worst things a person could be dealing with.

Sometimes hard things happen and I think I’d just like my life to go back to dealing with my PC and no other problems. And always, always, there’s someone who has a problem, whether it be physical, emotional, financial, whatever, that is worse than PC. Of course, that’s also relative too! I love to read. I like to read the words even more than hearing them on a CD. I’ve thought what a gift it is to be able to see. But then maybe a blind person would rather have sore feet. I don’t know. I guess the most important thing is to be thankful for what I have when I have it. It doesn’t mean I don’t be content to NOT try to find a cure or a treatment. That’s not it at all. It just means it’s important to enjoy the now and what I do have because it could be worse. And for sure, someone will always have a problem worse than I do.
