The Sick Child
You know there are some kids who have an awesome immune system and get well quickly. And then there are some who just don't get well easily. I m the second category. In June, 2012, I got appendicitis. It took about 5 months to diagnose. After appendicitis, I got urine infection. It went on for about 1 full year. I got well in September 2013. I was very happy. I m a kind of the person who is always happy, and energetic. I never lost hope in my whole entire life. In October, 2013, I was again diagnosed with urine infection. I still did not lose hope. In January, 2014, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Gear were released in my country. I m a gadget freak or a geek. I was so totally after my mother to buy it. My mother said, if I became well and remained well for about 2-3 months, she did buy me one. I was so happy. I was feeling well from inside. I asked my mother to stop medications for about 2 days and repeat a urine test. We did that, had a urine test, and waited for the reports. After 1 day, the report came. My hopes were high. I went with my mother to the hospital to get the reports. My smile went away after seeing the reports. It was positive. My hope had died. I came back home with my head hung with sadness. When I came back home, I went in to another room, and started crying. My mother said this is exactly the reason why my infection is not going. I m under stress. I was like, what!!!!!!!!!!! I m mean do I not have the right to take my sadness out? I said all that to my mom. She said I was right. I mean wouldn't I lose hope?
