My Life Story
I wrote this up for another board and figured, I might as well let you guy have a peak at my life too...
My name is Michael Bell. I was born on April 27, 1989. I wieghed 8 pounds, 9 ounces(big baby). I was talking by 11 months. I can remember certain things from when I was just 1 year old. Places, objects, animals but, not people. I was a normal child from then on until the age of 6. I was diagnosed with Osteogenesis Sarcoma, a for of bone cancer. I had found out that I was going to lose my left foot but, didn't fully understand how that would change my life. I later found out on the operating table. I had already had surgery to have tissue remeoved for experimentations. It still hadn't hitme. I was about to go under to have my foot removed when, a doctor asked if I was comftortable. It then hit me that I was going to live the rest of my life without a foot. I would be called names throughout my elementary school years. Iwould never be able to walk the same again. The anestesia mask was allready one and, then I woke up. I hadn't thought about pain at all yet. I lifted my blanket covering my body. I was naked but, I didn't care. All I saw was the foot I no longer had... It was actually gone. I thought I might have just been waking up from a bad dream for it had seemedlike one. I sat there, not a thought in my head. I was just stunned for a while. Nothing mattered right then. A few mements later, the pain tingled at the foot I no longer had. It slowly grew. I fell asleep. Later, I woke up and we left. It wasn't the easiest thing to do... I changed that day. I changed for the rest of my life.
My life was rough for a little while. One night right after I had the surgery, (I think it was the next night) I woke up in the middle of the on major painkillers(at home). I sat up and, ithout thinking, got off of the couch(I didn't sleep in my room so that I wouldn't have to move from room to room) and stood up, only to fall back down and slam down on my "stump." It was the worst pain I've ever felt. No, that's not true. I did the same thing about a year later, thinking that I had fallen asleep with my prosthetic leg on(I did in my dream). I stood up to go to the bathroom. I forgot I broke my right ankle 2 days earlier... I had also just had sergery on my leg again to shave bone spurs down(if you don't know what I mean, ask here). I landed on my broken ankle, then slammed down on my "Stump." Need I say anymore than *%@#?!
I later found out that I was considered smart(lol). I recieved a 145 I.Q. in the 5th grade's "ISTEP." My I.Q. has grown 11 points each year since then. Although, it is said that it is only possible to raise it 5 points a year naturally. I think a lot of this has to do with growing up reading complicated medical terms daily. I am now officially cured from cancer. It's been 9 years(I think). I used to use my leg as a shield in fights against thug(bullies) and suck, lol. I know use it as a club.
Cancer was the best thing to ever happen to me. I know you're now thinking that I'm crazy but, it's true. I have many unique friends that I met in the hospital or in camps for cancer patients. I've been to many different places through ACA(Amputee Coalition of America) and other oganizations. I've had many opportunities due to cancer... I walk great now. I've always walked great. I haven't let this experience slow me down any. It really hasn't effected me much at all. Although, now I have more matterial to joke around with(EX: Hey, could you toss me my leg? I took it off and left it over there.) Although, when I'm saying it, I'm not joking, lol.
nyways, later in junior high, my grades started slipping and they continue to to this day. I'm now homeschooled. I later got into Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG as a hobby. Then it was DBGT TCG, then YGO again. I've almost stopped YGO TCG again though because I know do GFX so much of the time. I still play videogames and read books though. I moved to the middle of nowhere soon after 8th grade. I know live out here bored to death all of the time. My best friends are my internet buddies unless I count long-distance ones that I don't talk to often. I have problems with girls too. The only girls that like me basicly throw themselves at me and seem ore like a little cousin. I wish I had someone that liked me and that I could grow to trust... That would be great for me right now. Anyway, interpret my life anyway you want. Good, bad, average, it's up to you. I'm too busy living it...
