How Grey's Anatomy Helped My Best Friend.

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 3:03 PM
It's been a very rough few weeks. My best friend is so sick that she literally can't move. She seems to have Transverse Myleitis which is a disease of the spine that causes intense pain and temporary paraylisis. She was in the hospital for a month. She had countless tests done including three, I repeat THREE spinal taps. Does anyone have any clue at all how painful those are?? But, the doctors still don't have a positive idea of exactly what's wrong with her. Some think it's all in her head, seriously? SERIOUSLY?? The medical system at the hospital just make me angry. With all I'm going to in relation to this situation, I can't even begin to imagine how her family feels. She is home now, confined to a hospital bed in her living room, and in her true style she is cheerful, optomistic, and seemingly happy. If you didn't know she was sick, you would have no idea that she is sick.

Now, to my point. Because the disease causes parylisis she has no control of her bladder. She unfortunately has to wear an adult diaper, (for you Grey's fans this should sound familar.) She's 16 years old, so she was pretty embarrased at first, but then she saw the recent Grey's Anatomy episode "Give Peace A Chance" where one of the main characters, Lexie Grey has to wear an adult diaper to get through a 26 hour surgery. Lexie describes her diaper as "hardcore" So when this poor girl is forced to wear her diaper, she now feels hardcore instead of embarassed. I am offering a HUGE thanks to Grey's creator, Shonda Rhimes,actress Chyler Leigh who portrays Lexie Grey and "Give Peace A Chance" writer Pete Nowalk, you have made my friend's situation a little bit easier for her to handle. She is grateful, and so am I.

At 16 years old, I'm far too grown up for my age. I've seen to many things, heard too many stories, and experienced too much pain. All of this has helped me grow. I see the world through my camera, things focusing in and out until it all becomes clear. Right now nothing is clear, I'll just have to put in focus to figure it out.
