It was also painful to see the mental toll that this surgery has taken on him. So, to have my entire family have to help up walk upstairs so he can go to bed was troubling. This is the man who is my rock, the man who I thought was stronger than anything growing up.
It was exponentially more difficult to watch his recovery, however. Seeing my father's strength, patience, and poise slowly dwindle over the course of a few months was difficult. What at first seemed like a pesky ailment now required urgent surgery to remove vertebrae and put metal in his back. A compressed spinal cord and bulging discs were causing nerve damage rapidly. The doctor showed the X-Rays and MRI's while informed my dad of the wide array of problems in his back. He was not prepared for what the diagnosis would be. Finally, in July he knew he had to see a medical professional. In June, he could not sit for extended periods of time. By May, he was hoping intense physical therapy would be the trick to alleviating the pain. He figured some chiropractic work would do the trick. My dad thought it was just a sign of old age slowly creeping up. It all started with the minor lower back pain in March. I was surprised, resentful, and angry but now am relieved and inspired. I am relieved that our son appears to be doing well and is getting on with his life and I am frustrated that the Boulevard Club does not have the decentcey to answer our questions and explain how they plan to manage the sailing school safety in the future. It is October 2nd and the situation is still not resolved. I then wanted to ensure that this kind of accident would never happen again if at all possible. At first, I wanted to know that Matt was going to be ok given that he had sustained a concussion. We were away with our other son in the USA. Our son Matt experienced a 'near miss' accident. I can't think of work that I could be doing that could hold more meaning for me, and I'm grateful every day to be doing this work. I graduated college, started a master's degree in education, and moved out to California to start teaching.
Im very greatfull for the community I have and how they supported me through. I can't wait to start making this more of a priority in my life! I'm also inspired to try to change my habits and to eat better and exercise more regularly so that I can be my healthiest. I am relieved and grateful that he is okay but scared that it will happen again. It really put things into perspectives for me in terms of my relationship with him and the rest of my family. How did it affect you? Are you grateful? Relieved? Resentful? Inspired?Ī significant experience in the past year was when my grandpa had a heart attack and needed surgery. Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year.
