Everyone has those times in there lives when they wonder why they are going through something or if they will ever get through it. I have had many but this particular one had me wondering why me, why am i going through this, what is the reason behind it. I believe it was a sign that I stress to much and it may not be, who knows. You sit there thinking and some day you will figure it out. But it happened for a reason.
It was the end of my junior year. I was stressed about every single class. I have stayed up late almost every night studying. Not only was I stressed about finals but also about the ending of my softball season.
It was the end of my junior year. I was stressed about every single class. I have stayed up late almost every night studying. Not only was I stressed about finals but also about the ending of my softball season.
Softball ended in February and it was now May. That gives you an
idea on how much of an impact it had on me.
It was a Thursday night; I had not been feeling well. My sister
and I were home alone while my mom was in Flagstaff about to have surgery the
next morning.
I was in so much pain I did not know what to do. I was puking nonstop
and I had a sharp pain in-between my ribs. I tried my best ignoring my pain
since this has happened to me in the past many times. I have gone to the doctor
many times to see what it was but they said it was nothing.
It was 3:00 A.M. I was still in pain. I text my mom and told her what
was going on she told me "Just take some medicine and trying going to
sleep if you need anything call your aunt" I was able to fall asleep after
that. Then it was 5:00 A.M. the time I get ready to go to school. I still felt
that sharp pain but this time it moved down to my lower right side of my stomach
and this time it was worse I would barely even walk.
I was concerned so I called my dad and he rushed me to the
hospital.
We arrived at the hospital and my dad walks in carrying me.
Luckily there was no one in the waiting room. Doctors assisted me quickly. They
put me in a wheel chair and off I go into a room. They ask me a few questions
and tell me what they thought was going on.
Next thing I know I am getting an ultra sound. The doctors say to
us "WOW, this is beautiful." I looked at him in pain and anger
"what!?" He replied "Your appendix is HUGE!" "Ok,
and?" I said in frustration. He replied "You need to go into
emergency surgery." I went into tears, scared because I have never had
surgery and my mom was not with me.
A few hours later, lying in pain, the doctor comes in and says
"your surgery will be at 10:30." It was 9:15 A.M. My aunt is standing
next to me and handed me a rosary. "Here mija, this helped me when I almost
lost my life."
I was lying in a bed getting ready to go into the room to have
surgery, the surgeons assistants tell me I cannot take my rosary with me. So one
of the ladies go to ask the surgeon if it was ok to take in with me she comes
back and tells me the surgeon says it is ok.” So they tape the rosary to my
hand which brightened my face. I felt a little better.
Trying to force my eyes open I see balloons, flowers and people
around me. I had my family and my best friend waiting for me to wake up. I did
not have the pain I went into surgery in, but maybe it was because I was on
pills. As I started waking up my first thought was, "I am ok."
Corazon,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your story. It was astonishing, and I am very glad you are now fine. I bet it was a very hard time for you to face. Although I do understand why you questioned yourself on why that happened to you. One quote that I have thought over and over again about is, “Bad things happen to good people.” This past month has been exactly that and one person that has greatly helped me a lot always says, “Go tries us to make us stronger. But the purpose is to prove that our faith is real.” And I do believe that this is true in your situation. Keep going strong! You are a smart, talented, beautiful girl!
Corazon, I remember this, I wasn’t there at the hospital with you, but you were in my prayers the whole time. What I didn’t know was that you were rushed into the surgery right away. That had to be super scary. I had a week to prepare for when I had my knee surgery and I was still shaking all the way to the operating room. But, with you having to go through an experience like that only makes you a stronger and more amazing person. :)
ReplyDeleteWith much love, Jesse
Corazon,
ReplyDeleteOh wow!You are such a strong person for doing that. I would have been so scared if I had to go through what you had to go through. We all go throug difficult things, but this seemed to be especially difficult. Your faith in God is very admirable. It is astonishing to see how many ways God can help us through difficult times, and how much that He has have prevented from happenning. You are such a wonderful girl.I hope that this year seems to turn out better for you than last year!
Corazon, you are such a strong individual and this is why you got through all of this! I remember when this all happened, of course I was not actually there with you in the hospital haha but, I definitely remember when Jessica, Samantha, and I were going to go visit you in the hospital with flowers, a card, and a Cherry Pepsi :) haha. But, we were told that the visiting hours were over at 8 and by the time we were ready to go it was like 8:30. :/ eh, we were so sad… then we ended up giving the flowers to Shawn’s mom so that he could take it to you the next day. :) Love you girl!
