The Importance Of Alzheimer's Surgery
It all started when I got paralyzed in my waist down. I was 10 years old and have 4 younger brothers. I loved to be around my friends and my family. All of a sudden one day I went to the hospital one morning because my legs were really killing me because I just got done running a marathon. I was very scared my head was full of sweat dripping softly down my face when I say the doctor with a needle.

I thought thinking what's the best choice to do. I figure that paralyzing my legs will be better, but i’m also scared kids are gonna tease me at school. I take a look at my mom and dad and they are whispering back and forth about what I should do. I softly ask my mom and dad

“ What do you guys think”. My mom and dad both look at each other and respond in.

“ This is your choice, I can not choice it for you but what me and dad think is to have your legs get paralyzed”.

I thought in my mind about what will happen if I choose any of them. I decided that I will have my legs paralyzed. Ashley was standing patinely in the corner, then she asked me

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Background

    Most days I came home to an empty house but I learned to care for myself and I grew up, maybe before I was ready. Friends, sports, hobbies, school and work consumed most of my time. One of my best friends was a boy named Jacob, who pushed me to enroll in the most challenging classes and make the best grades possible. We were competitive, but we both wanted each other to do the best imaginable in everything. Every chance I had, I spent it with him and his family. An empty house no longer consumed my afternoons. Mid sophomore year, Jacob died in a car crash, a car that I almost got into. My world seemed over, including my grades, as if I needed him to make the marks I had before. Returning to the grades and personality that I had before seemed somewhat impossible. However, I knew there was a reason that I did not get into that car that day, I had a purpose. Life seemed to be full of gaps, yet God began to fill them. To this day, every test I take, everything I do, I imagine both Jacob and my father sitting beside me, telling me to live out my purpose, whatever it may be. My top competitor was gone, but I gained an angel that day, one who is by my side in everything I do. Although there existed a period that I struggled, I overcame…

    Reflective Essay: The Importance Of Back Surgery

    Life was going to dramatically change as the nurses rolled me into the operating room. Back surgery is an invasive operation as it is, but imagine it in the eyes of a thirteen-year-old girl. The surgeons explained the procedure as a spinal fusion, with titanium rods placed along both sides of my spine for stability. This procedure would correct my scoliosis. Afterward, the pain was more than anyone should endure. I was not allowed to twist or bend, and I was unable to dress myself, or leave the house alone. This was difficult to accept, as I didn’t want to become dependent upon others.…

    Alzheimer's Disease: Symptoms and Treatment

    “Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease of the human brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a disturbance in at least one other thinking function” (Bronstein & Pulst, 2003). When we hear about Alzheimer’s disease we automatically think of older people. This is because this disease most often occurs in adults after the age of 65. Statistics show that one in eight individuals will have Alzheimer’s after they reach age 65 (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2002). Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia, which is any medical condition that affects the brain (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2002).…

    Physical Therapy: A Personal Narrative

    For the next week, I needed help for every little thing. I wasn’t capable of eating solid food, showering by myself, dressing myself or walking alone. My friends would visit me while I was stuck at home. The only person that I wouldn’t let visit me was at the time was my boyfriend because I didn’t want him to see me the way I was even though he said it didn’t matter but to me it did. After that I finally could start physical therapy where I had to do a lot of painful exercises for my legs. I wasn’t allowed to run for a few weeks because if I did I would become paralyzed. When I could finally go back to school, I was made fun of because one of my eyebrows was half gone even though everybody at school knew what had happened to me.…

    Why Is It Important To Play Basketball

    Last Saturday, I was going to play basketball at my school. When I arrived at my school I realized that I needed to read a book for my school test. So I had to choose between playing basketball or reading a book for my school. My basketball teacher needed me to train that day, because he wanted to test a new basketball strategy. But the book would have a big importance in my test. If I played basketball, I would get bad marks in the most important test. This was a difficult decision I wanted to play basketball, but I couldn’t get bad marks in the test. I solved my conflict by talking to my teacher and said to him that I couldn't play basketball, because I needed read the book. My teacher freed me so I could read my book for the test. Finally…

    St. Patrick's Day: The Worst Day Ever

    I told them that I slipped on some black ice. Like Derese, many people were begging to take me down the elevator. If they didn’t ask to take me down the elevator, they asked to help me with my books. It was a hard decision. I finally picked XiXi to carry my books for me since she is in my class. I also told Isabella, Marisa, and Kamela that they could go down the elevator since they were in my class, too. Even in choir, Mr. Deluca asked what happened. I told him how I fell.

    The Worst Day of my Life

    I tried to get up but I couldn’t move my feet. While the people that were watching the ride was on the phone with the EMT’s, Taylor had called our teacher to let him know that I fell and that they were taking me to the hospital. After she got off the phone with him, she called my mom to let her know what had happened and that I was on my way to the hospital. When the EMT’s got there, they had to carry me down the stairs in a chair. They put me in the back of one of the trucks that they use and took me to the clinic at Kings Island, where they put me into the ambulance and got my teacher to go with me. He had to go since he was the one in charge of me for the day.…
