LC you better be all up in this thread.
lol
Okay well I thought it would be interesting to create a thread where everyone tells their life story. Oftentimes we get only snippets from each post or thread a person makes, so it would be interesting to see the full picture. Don't be afraid to go into really long detail or just a few sentences. Anything would be interesting.
I will start with my story.
I was born in New Jersey to my mother and father who were wedded. No one believed I would survive the night after I was born. I had already flatlined 3x before the tracheotomy doctor could get there to intubate me. The doctors stood there, shook their heads and told my parents I had a 2 % chance of living, and that it would be wise to make funeral arrangements for me. My parents arranged for a priest to read me my last rites, and they were read to me.
I survived the night.
The doctors still stood there and shook their heads "she won't make it." And yet I did.
"She won't make it through the first few years of her life."
I did. I defied the medical experts.
My childhood was one of many surgeries since I had been born with a rare physical abnormality. When I was 2 years old, my parents took me to switzerland to see a renowned reconstructive plastic surgeon. At that time, I could eat through my mouth. The surgeon performed a few procedures on me, one to widen my mouth, since there was only a small opening there, and the other procedure was one my mom explicitly told him he couldn't do. He told my mother that he wished to go down in my throat to look around. She told him no, that he couldn't do this, but he did it anyway and my mom found me in recovery, in a pool of blood. Ever since then I can't eat through my mouth, a gastrotomy tube was put in place, and that ability was taken from me.
When my mother requested documentation of the procedures from switzerland, they were delivered in german. No malpractice lawsuit was ever filed.
I want to type more, but it's too slow to do so with this cell phone keyboard. I will continue at another time if people wish for me to do so.
Have fun with the thread!!
