Let me start off by saying that I’m NOT taking the heavy narcotic pain pill anymore!! I’m taking something different that Dr. C put me on instead yesterday. When Mom dropped me off at school yesterday, she went to pick it up. It’s a lighter narcotic, so it’s not a written script. Dr. C just has to call it in to our local pharmacy.
Also, Monday I have a Urology appointment (I tried to post about my kidney stone in the hospital, but it didn’t work. It deleted everything I’d written!!! At that point I was too tired to write and completely forgot to continue) with Dr. R for my kidney stone. (Let me back up; I had a kidney stone earlier this month, and I had to go to the ER with searing spasm like pain {yes, much like the back spasms! And I thought I was done with those…} and they had to do a bunch of ultrasounds and an X-Ray because it could have been anything from appendicitis to kidney stones). I had to take flo-max (a medicine that makes you use the bathroom a TON, and one of the major side effects is dizziness, which sucks) for 2wks. Either way, Monday I have to go into school late (and on my first day of FULL DAYS!!!) for that.
Anyways, so today we have a Girl Scout Cookie Booth set up at my school’s wrestling match. I’m hoping we don’t have to sell in the gym, because that would mean having to watch the stupid match, and listening to all the yelling from the crowd and such (my ears are still sensitive from the hospital. FROM NOVEMBER!!! Mom thinks it’s the pain pill that I just got off, but it’s probably a combo of both). Also, I have an inspiring message from my Grandpa’s friend that Grandpa E-Mailed me:
“I read the latest from TG and I have to say SHE IS REALLY SUPERWOMAN at almost 13. LOL It is a bit funny, that a young lady who I have never met, actually gives me reflection on how much a person can go through and persevere. Please let her know she is an inspiration. God bless her.” THANK YOU GRANDPA’S FRIEND!!!! And Grandpa, thanks for sending me that!! <3 😀 It’s so inspiring to know that SO MANY people are hoping for my good health and praying for my quick healing. Even people that I’ve never met, like my parents’ and my Grandparents’ friends. Every day at school, Ms. P and Mr. F ask how I’m doing and ask how my back is feeling.
In June (National Scoliosis Awareness Month), I’ll probably post most days, every day having a fact about scoliosis. (FYI: NATIONAL SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS DAY IS JUNE 27TH!!) Mom recently found a quote by the star of one of my favorite movies, Shailene Woodley: “Some people have crooked teeth, some people have broken fingers, and I’ve got a back that has my initial on it.” -Shailene Woodley on Scoliosis. Shailene, in case you didn’t know, has scoliosis, and had to wear a brace for a couple years.
