No Body Likes Being Sick
Nobody likes being sick. I’d had my run in’s with germs over my lifetime, but the pizza I ate from the gas station that night wasn’t a smart decision. A few years back I was watch the super bowl at my cousin’s house. We were all gathered around the big screen soaking in the game in all its glory. “Tom Brady throws a Hail Mary down the field to Randy Moss the wide receiver,” the announcer screamed, “And he drops the ball on 4 down and the game is over.” The New York Giants had won the super bowl that Year. And defeated the New England Patriots and ruined their goal of a perfect season. I couldn’t believe it. We were all stunned and shocked. Everyone is the room let out a sigh of disbelief. After the game was over we all basically went our separate ways for the night. I decided that the chips and pop and other snacks I had that night just wasn’t enough. So I decided to run to the local mom and pop joint up the road and get a large pizza on my way home. I picked it up and went back to my house and I could hardly wait to devour it. As my stomach growled and turn like it hadn’t had any food in ten years, I seemly gulped the hot delicious pizza down in one bite after another. The steam poured from the Pizza like a soma, then when down easy into my stomach. I was full after that. I went to bed that night with a feeling of satisfaction. I woke up the next morning to a screeching alarm clock, like every other morning before. I tried to stand up but suddenly it hit me. Bam! My head was pounding. I instantly fell back down on my pillow, like a two ton bolder falling off the side of a mounting to the ground. I had food posing from the pizza last night. I really didn’t know what going on. I couldn’t even move a muscle in my body without pain. The thought of lifting my head off the pillow was like a bodybuilder lifting a heavy weight in the air. Dehydration set in. I couldn’t get up to get a class of water. I basically remained like that all day. Now I know better than

    It was Tuesday, March first, 2011, my mother woke me up so I can start getting ready for school. I rose with eager anticipation, just four more days until my thirteenth birthday and I just couldn’t wait. I brushed my teeth and hurried down to eat the complimentary breakfast offered to us by the hotel we were staying at. You see we had been staying at a hotel for the past five months because the home we had been renting was foreclosed on so the utility companies turned off the power and the electricity. We had to get down at just the right time so that there was a small crowd but a lot of food so that we can take food back to the room to save for dinner. After breakfast, we…

    As I woke it felt as if I had not slept as all, I was still exhausted. After the surgery was over and the care plan for her was set we left for home. I had got a huge cup of coffee from a convenience store, as I drank it I felt more tired. I slept for about 30 minutes on the way home, and when I got there I felt so awake. However, as I went in and settled down for a little bit, I felt more tired than I ever had. Unfortunately though I needed to take care of my other two children, which was a very hard task at hand, even with the help of their father. I was finally able to get to sleep that night however it was a rough start to the next day. When I am unable to get to sleep I tend to sleep more than normal, and as I wake I am dragging all…

    When I went back to work my first day back was a full day of work at AJ's. By the end of the night I started to get light headed again and feeling really bad. I felt like I was going to pass out. I've never felt this much pain. I needed to do something about it and I knew I couldn't drive home so I had to call my mom. When she picked me up she knew I needed to go to the hospital again. When we got to the hospital they quickly put a IV in me and said that I was lacking fluids in my body. When they started to pump fluids in my body I could feel the blood/fluids going into my veins. We were in the hospital for 3 hours.…

    We walked through the city of Baltimore to get to the stadium. It was so crowded, you could barely breathe with all the people and food vendors around. I could smell a mixture of so many things. The first thing was the people, some there smelled like they had just taken a shower but others smelled like a dead skunk. You just couldn’t stand the smell you had to walk away from that person as fast as possible. The other smells I could smell was the food from the vendors. The one I liked the most was the smoked sausage and pulled pork vendor. I was in heaven when we stopped there. It’s every man’s dream to see sausage sandwiches in front of him along with some freshly pulled pork with sweet, tangy barbeque sauce. I had ordered the pulled pork. It wasn’t too cold but wasn’t too hot, it was just right. The juice rolled off of the sandwich onto the napkin every time I had taken a bite. The tanginess was just sensational it was perfect in every which way. I had also picked up, a nice cold lemonade on this hot day. When the lemonade touched my lips they shriveled up from all of the lemon that was in it. It was a perfect mixture of lemons and sugar water it was just fabulous. The icy coldness of the lemonade was wonderful because it was steaming outside.…

    One horrible day, about 3 or 4 years ago. I woke up and all of the feeling in my legs were gone. I tried to get out of bed but my bed is a top bunk with a desk underneath it so It was hard to get out of bed. I tried to use my legs but they were lifeless. They wouldn't move so it was all upper body strength getting down from my bed. Finally, I got down from my bed tried to walk but I couldn’t. So all I could do is yell, so I started screaming “Dad! Dad!” Then I blacked out. I woke up a while later in the car, when I asked my dad where we were going he said the doctors. I looked at the time on my phone, It was 9:30!! At this time I was living in Florida. My school started at…

    It was a crisp cold fall day at Lambeau field. I could see everything that was happening the whole entire time. The field was as green as a tree in the middle of Summer. The cold wind was whistling in my ear. The smell the hot dogs, burgers, and turf from the field filled my nose as the game begin. All I could hear were people cheering on the Packers and the jumbotron blaring, “Go pack go!” I could see the running back Eddie Lacy drive the ball into the end zone and everyone went wild. A mix people cheering and screaming filled my ears. After the opposing team returned the ball everyone started cheering, “Defense, defense, defense!” The watched the ball get intercepted and run down the field for another touchdown!

    Thursday February 18th started out just like every other weekday. I went to school, bought a coffee, went to my classes and talked with my friends. Nothing out of the usual, nothing exciting it was just a regular day. Once school was over I walked home and went straight to my room laid down watched some Netflix talked to some friends online, as I do this most days. I took a nap from about 5pm until maybe 7pm and woke up feeling a little under the weather, I felt a bit weak, and had a cough along with a running nose and chest congestion. It’s flu season so I didn’t think much of it, I took some Robitussin around 12am that night just prior to going to bed in hopes of waking up the next morning feeling better. Before going to bed that night I…

    After we got to the city, we spended some time going around it and looking at some other things in the city. Next morning we got up, then got on the tram to the game, it was a 30 minute wait, but it was so worth it because I got to see the houses, how they build them there, the parks, this long and big river right beside the stadium. We finally got there, but we couldn’t go inside because the NFL is not letting people inside with normal bags, we hid the bag inside a bush then we got to go inside the stadium. They played the Jets and I got to see a lot the Steelers players like Antonio Brown, Big Ben. I got to eat a hot dog, popcorn, some other candies. But it was so good, but so much money to get food there. My seats were on the 50 yard line and the weather was sunny, but cool. But the most important time was spending time with…

    There I was laying on the field, during the second half of my football game, tossing and turning as I held my right shoulder in agonizing pain. I looked up only to see the trainer looking down at me with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Repeatedly I tapped my shoulder as I was struggling to get the words out. He helped me up and walked me back to the sideline. I waited for what seemed like hours for the game to end. A few days later, I went to a local doctor to get an X-ray. The doctor told me that there was nothing wrong and that the pain should subside in a couple of days, and it did. Later in the season as I went in for a tackle, I felt my shoulder pop. Immediately I was in pain and thought to myself, “ It happened again.” This…

    The day had finally come. No it wasn't Christmas or the New Year, Kwanza or even Easter. It was the the most glorious day of all days, the Superbowl. Now for anyone who has never heard of the Superbowl and lives in America, that person has either lived in a cave for their whole life or…well that I think would be safe to say that's probably the only case because everyone knows what the Superbowl is. Anyway, this Superbowl Sunday started off just a little bit different than most Superbowl's I've had off from work and for any of this day to make any sense for anyone that wasn't there, I'm going to have to start by including some background information on the previous events that led up to this day.…

    Several conversations throughout the stadium are being discussed. Many people got up to get hot dogs, pizza, beer, pop and water. As I sit there patiently waiting for the game to restart I smell all the food around me, it smells delightful. The lights turn back off and a video begins playing on the big screen, everyone gets quiet. The video shows multiple plays of different hockey games which gets everyone motivated again for the twenty minutes of hockey that is about to happen. The players step out on the ice once again; everyone cheering “CBJ”, that sound never gets old. It was as the excitement within the team and the fans was even higher now. The sound of the skates on the ice was extreme. The players came out ready to battle and that they did. The Jackets scored a goal in the second period, which made them down just one goal, with still another period of play. After the goal, the crowd was more intense then they have been all night, because they knew there was still a huge chance we could win. The players go off the ice knowing they have a job that needs to be finished in Nationwide Arena, and they are determined. I decided to go get a French vanilla cappuccino in between periods because I was very chilled. The arena stays very cold due to the ice so I decided to warm myself up with a hot steamy cappuccino. My dad and I also got a hot dog because we were hungry. The hot dog was very warm and juicy; hot dogs at a hockey game are my favorite. We went and put ketchup on our hot dogs and went back to our seats, anxiously waiting the next period of…
