For
the last week I have been living on my couch, last Sunday I woke I so much pain
that I could not even move, I couldn’t lay on my back, stand up, walk and sit
up straight. I felt so helpless because I couldn’t do anything and to top it
off I had to miss the first days of school. On the Tuesday after this started,
September 4, I went to my doctor’s office and I am going to honest going from
my house to the doctor’s office was one of the hardest things that I have ever
done. My mom even went and got me a wheelchair but since I couldn’t sit down I
used it as a walker. At the same time, using that wheelchair when I could sit
down was a really cool experience for me and not the lazy ones where all ya do
is use a little stick thing to control it, the one where ya actually have to
work to get places. After wasting a good hour of blood tests and going to see
the doctor who didn’t know what was going on with me and not being able to sit
down I got some strong pain killers that I didn’t want to take but I did and it
was definitely a great friend to me.
Through this week my couch has become my
best friend in the world. Like when I get up my motivation is that couch will
be there for me to rest afterwards, my victory sit as I call it.
I
have gone to the chiropractor three times this week and hey think that there is
a problem with a disk in my back that is hitting a nerve causing pain in my
leg.
But
I am a lot better, it sucks that I have to go through this and it’s hard to
stay positive. I should be starting my last year of high school and hanging out
with my friends but there is nothing I can do but breathe and fight through
this. One thing that I learned through this experience is not to take things
for granted for example: having the ability to get your own food or walk to the
bathroom, sleeping in my bed.
It sucks but I will make it through this even
stronger than before.
