  • PAGE 5 falling and knowing

    You know the feeling you get, when something is wrong.--Really wrong. I'm talking about the empty, hallow feeling in the pit of you stomach.  When your shoulders tighten. Your palm get sweaty. The feelings you get when you are not sure what is wrong.  

    The feeling of dread.

    Well I had the exact feeling now. And it was strong.  I could feel it rising to an almost panic.
    I still had that terrible buzzing in my ear too.

    What was happening?  Where was Carrie?  What happened to the frogs? I know that sounds stupid, but hell who knows. 
    If I could just think.  But I felt so strange when I tried.  Foggy and weird. 

    Im just going to sleep.  Then I can at least hear around the buzzing. When I tried too hard It just buzzed louder.
    Sleep I will. Please let me sleep!   But that panic it wouldn't let me!
    My head!   the Buzzing!  The smell!

    The smell of my Mother! Her perfume!
     The buzzing started to to ease. but only a little.

    I could smell my Mom.

    "Is this normal? When will she wake up?"

    "its hard to say everyone responds differently to these medicines"

    "Dr. Claude said she had no major damage to her head.  Why wont she wake up?"

    "She is still on a lot of medicine, we dont want her to wake up too fast."

    "Well I want her up! I want to talk to her! I want to make sure she's okay."

    "We have to take it slowly, she has been on a lot of sedatives for a while, We have to wean them. We cant just stop."

    "Do you think she's doing okay? How do you think she is?"

    " I have seen many people recover from similar accidents, but they have all recovered to different degrees. No one can say how she will do for sure.  I know thats not what you want to hear, but I dont have an answer for you. Im sorry.  Im going to be a little more aggressive with the weaning.  But if she startes to backslide. Ill have to turn them back up. I know your anxious, we all are, But I still have to be careful.  Well get there. I just cant say for sure when."

    The tears were flowing desperately now on Libby's moms face.  " I Know - I just miss her" "Please ... help her"

    "I will."

    And with that the nurse left the room.

    I heard that. I heard all of that.  Doctor? No major damage? What happened? Was that really my Mom?  God, please help me!

    The year I turned 5 we moved. My parents decided we needed to be in a safer area.  Our neighborhood was going bad and fast.
    So we moved halfway across the state.
    To a slightly nicer, slightly bigger much safer home.  The house was good. But the backyard--Now that was Great!
    Now that I am older I realize it was just a really big back yard with a pond.  But as a child it was so much more.  It was an endless forest with my own lake.  And it seemed endless.

    My sister Carrie  and I would spend any chance we got out there. Exploring and pretending.  Searching and building.  The stuff kids need to do.  The stuff kids don't do anymore.

    But we lived for it.  We created our own adventures.

    And that is what the dreams were about.  Most of them anyway. 

    In this particular dream,
    I was in the back yard with Carrie and we were hunting for frogs.  We almost never caught them, but we would spend all day trying.  And when we did finally get one. The excitement was unstoppable. This time we had actually caught two of them. I was holding down the net and I heard Carrie scream.
     
    Then the taste came.  That bitter horrible taste. My mouth began to water--and I knew I was going to vomit.

    The dream suddenly ended.
    But the taste did not go away.
    I began to retch, and the headache was there.  The buzzing was there. 

    "Libby"

    "Libby are you okay?"

    "Do something!"
    "She's going to vomit!"
    The Headache!  Please stop!

    Darkness again.

    "Elizabeth. Its time for your bath" 
    "We are going to get you cleaned up"
    I shook my head "no".
    The headache pain was a little better, not gone, but better.
    No one has ever called me Elizabeth. My name was Libby.

    But they kept moving me and touching me. I shook my head "no" again. This time it hurt bad. 

    "I think she's moving"
    "Elizabeth, can you hear me"
    "Elizabeth, open your eyes"
     I tried.
    But it hurt so bad.

    I shook my head "no".

    "Elizabeth, squeeze my hand"

    Nothing--Too tired--more dreams now. Go away!

    God my head hurt, it hurt real bad!
    And the buzzing! Pain and Loud ass buzzing.  What happened? 
    I cant think! This damn headache.  Ill try later.  Now Ill sleep.
    And that I did.  I slept harder than I ever had.
     Maybe it was because of the growing.
    It was getting faster lately.  I'm not sure what caused the surge, but I liked it.
    I felt powerful, cool and a little mean.  Strange I know, but I did not know what was happening. I was still to young to understand.
    The dreams are what I knew tonight and for many more nights to come.



  • Have you ever been hurt? BAD?

    This is page 1 of my story.
    I will continue to write as it comes Page by page
    Any input it greatly appreciated.

    How recovery can sometimes happen

    "Dont do it."  she said.
    ---But I was determined.
    "Why?" I asked.
    "you'll fall"
    "So what"
    "Fine, do what you want"  
    That is how my life was changing.  She was giving up trying to change me. And that was fine with me. I was growing faster now, faster than ever. I think she was getting scared of what would change next.
    So I did it, I climbed up the tree. I climbed up so high--That I did fall, I fell to the ground and I hurt. I hurt bad. My head was spinning and I could only hear a strong buzzing in my left ear. 
    Damn it!
    After that I knew,  I began to hear the sirens and I started to drift off.
