Stitches

Week Thirty Seven

September 10, 2013

This week was the week I participated in Week in the Life where I documented the here and now.  I took a ton of photos during this week which just made it that much harder to choose the one to sum up this week.

In the end, I chose this one.  My mom holding me.  (My parents taking care of me.)  What is not shown in this photo was what happened moments before.  The pain set in and the tears came flowing.  I was sitting on the sofa and my mom came in to comfort me.  My dad began to rush around to get me ice, a blanket (because I was shaking uncontrollably), pillows, and Tylenol.

Needless to say, this week was not glamorous and parts of it were hard…well, more like painful.  This week I had my first surgery, (thankfully minor), and as a result, I got 25 stitches throughout my body.  Most of this week was spent healing and adjusting and still keeping up with regular life, just like every other day.
