Ok...This is just random info about me. Don't bother reading if u don't wanna!
ABBY:
u already kno all this and i took this from our IM...so u dont' have to
read all of it! of course, i edited out the parts that i
would tell only u!!!
EVERYONE ELSE: this is about my health and my life!! it's kinda boring, so dont' read if u dont feel like it! Some of u have known me for a long time, but never knew any of this because i didn't ever tell anyone.
HEALTH STUFF:
Well, it started when i was 2...i was in the hospital with the flu for about 1 1/2 weeks, but it was more than the flu...they (the doctors) still dont' know what it was. when i was 5, the week b4 kindergarten, i went to the doctor and she diagnosed me with some form of blood disease...not hemophilia, but similar, my blood doesn't clot very well. She said it probably had something to do with the "flu"...something about internal bleeding. they never really cleared that up...by the time i was 6, i was on 13 meds...i missed a lot of school! i probably missed a week every month. I had trouble keeping up with my learning. my parents pulled me out for the second half of 1st grade. my grandmother taught me while i was in bed, but i fell really far behind in my work. nothing major happened in 2nd grade, i went back to school the third week into the year....after the doctors "cleared" me of bedrest. I caught up to the other kids pretty quickly. but i still had to see the doctor every week. then in 3rd grade, i got asthma ( i kno i didn't spell it rite, but i'm too tired to spell right)..it was really bad...u couldn't be a normal kid, i couldn't play on the playground, no running, no excessive activity....and if my breathing became shallow, my parents would have to take me to the ER...i was so unhappy! i gained a lot of weight that year...but within 6 months, i was healthy again because i got so sick (again) that i refused to eat a lot because my stomach wouldn't keep things down. i missed another month of school...when i went back, all the kids started making fun of me because i was so pale for about 2 weeks....i had no friends when i went back to school that time. my parents switched me to another class for May of 3rd grade. i didn't care, i was just glad to be out of that class. i was starting to hate life! i didn't want to go to school anymore. that summer, things got worse, i was in and out of the hospital so much, all the nurses knew me by name and what i liked and who visited me a lot. that didnt make things easier. but i had friends again...for me at that time, that was the silver lining. Friends. even if they were about 50 yrs old. i didn't care. 4th grade: my teacher was sick, so i had 67 guest teachers by the end of the year...but i made the "Gifted and talented" program in math and reading. i made friends thereIn december, i got so sick...it was a lung disorder that cleared up by March. i was on a breathing machine until mid-January. It was ok tho...i still went to school, which i was enjoying again...fifth grade, i met tahlia, actually we were friends in K,1, and 2....i was diagnosed with a rare bone disease, 6 new meds to help that. my bones were getting less and less strong. the silver lining of this: No PE!! but i missed a lot of school then too...because i couldn't stand. that summer, i went to a concert with my church class. it was fun enough...at least i was standing up for it! lol...by the beginning of 6th grade, i was having trouble breathing again...and i was getting sicker with the blood thing. but no one could tell because i wouldn't let anyone in.i wouldn't talk to anyone, i wouldn't tell anyone why every Friday i had to leave early. I had 3 friends that understood. I didn't have to tell them...but then there was Trevor Rezac!! He made my life hell that year...and he made Lisa and Ashley hate me too!!! Just because I was sick and no one could do anything to help me. I dont think any of my teachers knew either...they just knew something was wrong...but i wouldn't tell them what...only Mrs. Bond and the school nurse knew...and the school nurse knew my name by the second month of 6th grade. that summer, i had the worse summer ever!!!!! I couldn't go to the pool, I couldn't go to the mall, or even just out front. I stayed in the house because i was too "fragile"....i burned really easily and i was becoming thinner and thinner because i couldn't eat anything except smoothies. in 7th grade, i wasn't sick very much!!! i still was, but not nearly as bad!! i was happy again! I had no difficulty with anything...no major problems at all!! i was doing well in school and i was kinda healthy! Then summer came and my family and i took a trip to RI and NY and MA and all those places and i had so much fun! I was healthy enough to go on that trip!! Then all the legal battles in my family started and i went downhill from there. at the beginning of 8th grade, my blood and bone things had returned and i was once again on 31 meds...but i still had a few friends. but i wasn't happy anymore. i think when i was diagnosed with depression and insomnia, i was on 27 meds...then my lung disorder returned...i still am on a breathing machine for 1 1/2 hrs a day...by the end of the school year, i was happy-ish again, on 38 meds. still with depression about the Cole thing and the Sarah/Rianna thing. the only reason i made it through the year was because i had 3 ppl that would listen to me no matter what. Now, I'm on 34 meds and have been diagnosed with anxiety. i'm barely making it through everyday. i didn't want anyone to know...i didn't want people to treat me differently.

OTHER STUFF:
- i was "in" Rianna's group, then i was "out", now i'm "in" again, but i don't know if that's where i wanna be!! i didn't really fit in there, i didn't wanna be there, i wasn't happy!!
- i
dont wanna go to high school...i don't wanna have to try and make new
friends...Lisa and Abby kno how bad i am at that!! i dont' wanna
have to let new ppl in. i'm not good at it! it took me 12
years to say all of this!! i'm scared of what i'll be in
HS. or what i won't be.
- i had trouble letting ppl into my life in middle school because i never knew if i'd make it through all 3 yrs...now that i did, i don't wanna let more ppl in because if i get even more sick, what will happen??
- i don't know if i'll have time for friends in HS, tennis, yrbk, homework, etc...
- my life is just out of control right now...family, friends, boyfriends, me...
- Any one who saw "Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants" has heard this line before: Bailey said to Tibby that she's afraid of time...of not having enough time. Well, I agree with her. I'm afraid of time too!
