Healing

After over a year long battle with a pressure sore that has included many wound care visits, dr appointments, threats that I will die cuz of it, and hospitalization; I am finally healing. It is nothing short of a miracle. I made up my mind long ago that it never would heal and that would just be that. But then everything and Im not exaggerating when I say everything; in my life began to fall apart. This was all due to overwhelming pain from my sore and then a unexplained back pain I had never experienced. Throughout my struggles in life I have never dealt with overwhelming pain....so this was a new world to me, one I didnt want to be in. Pain medication helped and then one day it didnt. Thats the day my dr called to hospitalize me for what was thought to be a staff infection in my leg. This was the second week of the semester. The next few days were some of the most emotional and horried moments of my life. The lowest of lows I think a person can get to is when all the medical professionals tell you that you will never heal and the long term out comes of this particular situation could be amputation or death. How do you carry on and smile at that? You dont. I thought I would have to bag the semester and give up doing some things I loved. Long story short it never was infected. I was sent home with anti biotics for a bladder infection that also slowly took my back pain away. Though this was the hardest thing yet placed infront of me, the result has been a miracle. My leg is healing, im pain med free, and have not felt this good literally in years. I love my life and those in my life and those watching out for me above.

This experience has humbled me greatly. Made me appreciate everything. Increased my faith. Made me realize dr are not God and miracles always weighout what even the smartest men on earth can do. And I feel for those stricken with horrible pain.
