Psy/2024 Week 1 Reflection

Joshie Hernandez Ms. Pearson & Ms. Watson Language Arts 3 27 February 2024 — At the end of the year, twenty twenty-two I began getting weaker and weaker. I started noticing that I couldn't pick up as much weight as I used to. I also started to feel sore all over my body. I didn’t understand why, but I didn’t overthink it and just moved on. Following the first week of January of the year twenty-three, I began to feel really sick, mostly unable to move without feeling like my whole body had been hit by a truck. I stayed home from school, which I thought would only last about a week or so. That one week then turned into the rest of the second semester. For weeks I would go to many hospitals. They would take out blood and take many tests on it. …show more content…
One test I did, I was in a machine for over two hours without moving. I felt very uncomfortable, claustrophobic even, while I was lying down in the enclosed machine. No matter where I went, no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I went to the hospital here in my hometown, Milan, multiple times, as well as going to a hospital thirty minutes from where I live, in Kirksville. One of the places I believed we could go to and find out what was wrong was in Columbia, Missouri, which is about two and a half hours away from where I live. So, we made our way to Columbia where again they ran multiple tests on my blood and ran a test with an ultrasound. However, once again, they were unable to find anything wrong.

I, on the other hand, had become very depressed. I spent many nights crying myself to sleep and praying that I would eventually find out what was going …show more content…
As we arrived there I was situated in a room and was asked a few questions about what was going on with me. When I explained my situation, the doctors were in shock and immediately took me for tests and soon had to transfer me to another hospital. I was rushed to take more tests and this led to a heart rate increase. I was scared because the doctors were so concerned with what was going on with me. I then got told that I would have to stay the night at the hospital that day. Little did I know that one night would turn into a little over a week. I spent multiple days in the hospital with nothing found. They would take blood out every morning, I would sleep all day and never really get up to do anything except shower, which I was extremely weak to the point I couldn’t even do that by myself. Most of the days I spent in the hospital of course weren’t very exciting, I spent some time watching Netflix, they brought me coloring books, pop kits, and playdos to keep me entertained. Most of the time I would sleep though. On a Friday in late February, I was taken to the O.R. for one last
