The Rebirth
My body laid stiff as board. I didn’t feel pain just my back pressed against the hard concrete cement. I yelled and screamed for him, but I couldn’t move. Then I pass out. I woke up to unbearable pain as the freezing cold air from the ambulance pieced my open wounds. The screams of horror and torture fill the cavity of the ambulance as I begged for anything to make the pain stop. I pass out again. Suddenly, I woke up with a thin unmistakable white hospital sheet laid over my body up to my neck. The pain seems to be absent at the moment. There was an unpleasant present on my right hand which accounted for my comfort. In the middle of all the commotion I was able to stop a male nurse and ask him about the condition of my boyfriend.

There was the look of concern that smeared all of their faces. Nurses rotated in and out of the room as if their feet were connected to a rotating timing belt. Dr. Fitzpatrick discussed my treatment plan with me and mother. I nodded my head in compliance to try to appear well as I could have given the circumstances. This has to the worst nightmare ever I thought. The pain medication and the two surgeries made my body exhausted. When I woke up the room has transformed into a garden filled with beautiful arrangements, balloons, and cards with words of encouragement and hope. As beautiful as this scene is I have just woken up to the reality of my …show more content…
It was probably the first time I can recall saying no to him. We were a spontaneous couple that was always up for a a good time. I worked all day, then went off to school, and my last stop was to see him. His eyes twinkled with excitement when I arrived. He bounced around me requesting my presents as his passage. As the sun was going down as we rode into the sunset. We arrived at the river walk downtown and took a romantic scroll discussing our plans for the future, which was not our normal dialog. We had enjoyed our time with each other that evening. I was so glad he made me join him. As we approached the bike I felt sometime telling me to stay. I expressed my concern to him. I’ll never forget his response. He questioned me “What, you don’t trust me?” Which in hindsight was such an eerie question for him to ask at that time. Of course, gave in because not to would suggest the exact opposite, which couldn’t be further from the

    My division was stationed in Normandy, France, at the time of the Allied invasion on June 6, 1944. Toward the end of August or early September, Canadian troops captured me near Dieppe.10 I was with a small group of men who were cut off from our main company and overrun by motorized Allied units. For several days we wandered around searching for our unit, until one night we strayed into a field camp of Canadian soldiers. You can well imagine the astonishment all around when we suddenly appeared in their midst. The Canadians didn’t have a guard posted. This was probably better for all because otherwise we might have exchanged gunfire. Instead, we peacefully turned over our weapons and in return received cigarettes.…

    We reached The Dalles today. This is our last stop to Oregon city and this is going to be the most dangerous part of the whole trip. We have to take the Barlow Road around Mt. Hood. The road is very messy. There are big rocks guarding the road. Sticks and broken wagon pieces are getting stuck in the wagons. On top of that, everyone is getting sick and have no energy to move the wagon and walk up the steep hill and walking through the narrow paths are hard because we can't walk on the side to hold the wagon up. The oxen are getting too tired to walk anywhere and the other families with mules keep stopping and that makes us run behind on schedule. Many people are dying because they have worked too much and haven't gotten enough sleep. When we…

    On the word excited she let go of my leg to wave her hands in excitement and my day got a whole lot worse. Pain was all that I knew. My world became a white hot flame of pain. My brain was filled with not so silent screams as my leg dropped off the table. I wanted to die the pain was so bad. Cursing and pleading came from the nurses as they tried to get my leg up and hold me still. I wanted to be still but i was no longer in control. I was shaking and screaming with the pain of a searing hot knife stabbing me over and over in the hip. I blacked out. I woke up in the hallway rushing way to fast to be safe. I was still in pain and i was still shaking. People were staring as i rushed by screaming bloody murder. It took ages it felt like time was molasses and there was no escape. More screaming came from nurses and doctors alike as i was rushed into my room. I heard my father yelling and a face came into focus. That face of the nameless nurse was the only thing that calmed me down. And it helped that she said the only thing that could make me feel better. “Lets knock him out.” they injected me with morphine and my world went…

    My hospital bed was ice cold and the bleak and empty white walls depressed me as the uncomforting thought that I would have to stay here for maybe another week brought tears to my eyes. The usual and oppressive smell of disinfectant lingered in the room as I recalled that night in my head, trying to convince myself it wasn’t my fault, as I had done everyday since the accident. It was the day everything changed and my life was turned upside down. Forever.…

    My mom’s mom and dad decided to meet us at the hospital to say their goodbyes before I went into the room that would determine the rest of my life. I received a bracelet from the hospital reading, “Morgan the Unbelievable”. At this moment I question if this would be the end for me. My parents and I were led into a small room where I was told to change into a hospital gown and to prepare for surgery. A middle-aged woman came into my room and told me that they were going to insert an IV into my right hand, that would soon be filled with the anesthetics to put me to sleep for the surgery of my life. Dr. Kaiser the Medical Mystery, came into my room after the IV was in to explain what he was going to do and to reassure me that everything was going to okay. My parents held my hand and told me that they would see me when my surgery was over and that they loved me. My nurse came and wheeled my bed and I to the operating room. I was transferred to an operating table, that was cold, plastic and the color of a corpse. She started to pump the anesthetics in the IV and told me to count down from ten. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,…

    I felt expelled and exiled, sitting in a room filled only with a bed. White walls which painted no imagination, no hope just emptiness; yet they still assured me I was meant to be here. Every day was the same as the last, every memory I captured had slowly escaped. I was considered dangerous, vile and out of control; these words constantly surrounded me, swirling around in the echoes of the halls. 15 years I have been here, and still not once has my voice box being strained. Everyday new comers are filling the halls with recent experiences, these are the only colour these halls ever hold, the only colour we are ever able to grasp and use to paint our own ideas of community; they enable us oldies to once again imagine. Soon enough the halls go back to plain white and emotionless passages and so to do my imaginations, the images that i had held slowly fade over and over again until i am left with nothing. This only reminded me of what was familiar.…

    As I laid in the cold, sterile hospital room, the excruciating pain radiating from my left hip, across my back, and down my leg was unbearable. I did not need the results from the X-Ray or to know what the doctors were whispering about outside my door to realize that something was terribly wrong. As the minutes turned to hours and still no definite answers, I became more and more nervous and anxious. I tried to distract myself by watching Friends on my in-room TV, but visions of the worst-case scenarios kept racing through my mind.…

    I make an effort to move my limbs but there’s no use. My heavy eyelids have a hard time opening, I force them open and find myself in a hospital bed wearing one of those dresses I promised myself I’d never wear. My eyes find their way to the side of my bed where my motherly sits, pale skinned, and mouthing my name. Her voice finally registers into my head as it translates from terrified to joyful. My very own nurse rushes in once I’m awake. She tries her…

    -Think creatively – Try not to use the first idea that comes into your head from a stimulus because chances are other people will have that same idea. If you are really stuck for ideas try changing time periods, set it in the future or the past, or a different country. Done to death ideas about belonging include the migrant experience and teenagers in school- if you can somehow twist these overused ideas into something unusual then they may be ok to use.…
