Someone Always has it Worse

At my treatment on Monday I sat with two other women getting an treatment infusion as well. As I sat there reading my book I overheard the two women talk about their disability checks, their insurance, and so forth. These two women have known each other from getting treatment done at the same time. I would say one woman was in her 50's and the other in her 30's. I could not help but listen to their conversations and think, holy crap! Will I one day have to worry about this or be in their position? The older woman could not walk without her walker and was unable to work any longer. The other woman had a drop leg, or at least it seemed like it and was having other issues as well. I sit there, and panic. The thoughts rush through my head of all sorts of thoughts that pertain to all they are saying. And to them, this was just conversation and probably comfort that someone else is going through this as well. Another woman I have had treatment with is in a wheelchair that supports her neck. She is always smiling and in good spirits. Another woman has had two different cancers and MS, and still has a great, whatever attitude. With all this said about the woman I have come to know in the past six months, I want to say how proud I am of each one of them. I am proud they are taking action with this new treatment and not giving up. I think if they can do this, so can I! As scary as it is to see and hear all this, I have to remember how lucky I am to be in the health besides the MS that I am in. I am reminded how life can change in an instant, and that things could be a lot worse. Someone ALWAYS has it worse than we do. We just loose sight of that sometimes. Don't let that happen to you. Remember that your life is good and enjoy it. I get a constant monthly reminder that others are fighting this disease in their own "health" way, some worse some better. Either way, as hard as it is for me to see and hear all the negative and bad things this disease can do, I will always give MS the biggest fight I have in me. I have to! Life is too good not to!
