Life is not a bed of roses

Today I am in a typical young Women life's not fair mood!! I have thoughs days sometimes. I have a pressure sore at the most inconvenient time in my life when everything else us going good or at least ok this thing pops up. The worst part is the only thing a Dr. can tell me to me do is stay off of it(yeah like that's gonna happen....sheesh). What people don't get is even though I'm disabled I have a life and a full busy one at that, I don't just sit around or lay around doin nothin all day if I did I would start to loose interest in life and eventually give up on it. Ok I'm finishing this up a few weeks later, yeah weeks and the sore is worse. In an attempt to make me feel better a friend who works with severely disabled children told me to sit on a bean bag, at first I thought she meant a little bean bag like you play toss with but after I stopped laughing she said no a bean bag chair, sounds crazy but just might work! Well here we are a month in to this thing and nurses have been brought in and a surgeon seen as well as I've pretty much been put on bed rest and I've been told that it will take six months to get this thing healed and that I'm actually "Lucky" its not worse!!! So ya now I'm at that "my life is over" over reaction point that I think so many come to at a time like this. I have been told I'll be ok and life will resume to normal in a while but for now my perfectly normal life has come to a screeching Holt. I and my family both have been very irritated because on top of all. I go though with these things we now find out that my doctor has not even been aware that I have been trying to get meds for a week and just now got them. I am now having to get use to an air mattress on my bed and air cushion on my wheel chair (FUN). I Just wish this "thing" would heal so life could be normal again. well that's enough for one blog hope the next one is happier.
