Reality Hit....HARD!

You always hear the saying "It can happen to anyone." I know I never really think about that saying. I realized that's true this morning. I came to school, saw my friends then got the news a guy I know from Waseca got in a car accident. I was shocked. He was flown to Rochester and is in critical condition. The thought kept running through my mind all day. I couldn't even focus in school. After school, I was with friends so my mind was on other things. After my friends left, it just kinda hit me hard and I broke down. It's so scary thinking about it. I can't imagine what his friends and family are feeling like. It sucks. He wasn't doing anything wrong! Now I really realize things can happen so fast. In the blink of an eye! It really DOES happen to anyone! I've been affected by this whole thing and I know many more have been also. Don't take anything for granted. I know after being in this situation that my life has kinda been changed because now I will look at things differently, not take things for granted and make every minute count! My friends and family have helped me out a lot too. He is in my prayers and thoughts...

Hurry up..and wait

Doesn't it seem like most of your life you hurry up, then wait? That's what it's been like for me the last few weeks with my knee injury. I've been to the doctor 3 times now in the last 2 weeks. You make the appointment, then wait for the day to come. The day comes, you arrive at the doctors' office and sit down and wait to be called. Today I went and got and MRI. It was pretty scary. The thing is so small! I just had to lay there and not move for 30-35 minutes while all these loud noises and such were taking pictures of my leg. I waited for this appointment for around 5 days and now I have to wait a week and a half to get the results! Hurry up. And wait. It's beginning to sound like the story of my life. Ha ha. Oh well. I will just have to deal. It will be done with sooner or later!

Life has it's ups and downs

Everyone fights. We try and make up. It usually works. For me, at least. Today was one of those days. I was invited to go to a Twins game with my friend. It was all good until I called my mom to see if I could borrow her t-shirt. She freaked out. She said I couldn't go because of my crutches. That it would be too hard to crutch around the Metrodome. I was so mad. I knew I could do it. It turned into a fight. Not a huge one, but it defiantly wasn't a small one either. She got her way and I didn't go. I was so frustrated with her! I was with my dad today too. I didn't want to talk to her at all the rest of the day. She texted me though. I replied. I'm still not happy with her but I need to realize and think about her view too. I need to forgive and forget. Fights happen. We will disagree with people and get mad. So what. Move on. That's what I need to do.

Cripple...Times 3

I'm on the tennis team. Recently I played in a varsity tennis tournament and injured my knee. I was going for a shot and my knee twisted and gave out. Now I am in a knee brace and on crutches. As many people know, I am in a back brace for scoliosis. So now I have my back brace, a knee brace and crutches. I am kinda struggling to get around on crutches with my back brace. I will be on crutches for at least a week to 10 days. I'm not sure how long I will be in my knee brace. I am most likely done with my tennis season. Which sucks. Good thing I got the braces off my teeth! Ha (: one less "brace" to worry about!
