Things I have learned in my life so far

If I didn´t believe in my inner strength, I would be sitting in a wheelchair.
The doctors have given me a 50 % chance. Everything had seemed fine, until I attended the final examination. There they told me that my condition was deteriorating. I was struck by lightning. That I wouldn’t and couldn’t believe. They ordered me to bed to rest. And they canceled my therapy sessions.
Two weeks later, I could leave hospital already. But the next day I had to go back because my white blood cells were reducing significantly. The doctors told me I mustn’t become ill during the next days or it could become very bad and I would have to stay in the hospital. Of course I worried very much about my health during the next few months. When I was back at home I could only move with a walking frame. The simplest things I could only do with my mother’s help.
Two day´s after I left hospital my mother left me and my bother alone for a short time. I was in the living room and he was playing in the bedroom. Everything was normal till I heard him scream. By reflex, I jumped up and ran to him.
Soon after this was my mother’s birthday. I wanted to surprise her with my ability to walk again so I didn’t tell her until then. On her birthday, despite some pain, I stood up in front of her without walking frames. I knew I’d been right to trust in myself to walk alone again.
