Did you ever think about how lucky we are with heart
disease, in that we know what it is and how to fight against it. For the most part, it is a mechanical
failure of a part of your body that you can understand. And you know the lifestyle changes that
you need to make in order to increase your chances of continued survival.
Now think of others who have suffered such things as cancer
or a concussion. In those cases, the enemy is more difficult to clearly
identify and to combat.
And their symptoms and continued annoyances are often not
well-defined. I know our heart
disease can have all of these same things but usually ours are better defined.
And with their problems, a transplant is not an option.
Give thanks for what we do have and the advancements being
made and don’t stress over what might have been.
