Reborn
This summer was the best summer I ever had and it all started with me drowning. The last day of i went to a pool party that night I jump off the diving board. I came back the surface and realize that my feet couldn't touch the bottom of the pool I panic. I couldn't swim either so right before I went unconscious I seen something really bright like the sun.
Next thing I remember I heard people calling my name. Saying shalik shalik get up I couldn't move at all I think my body was was in shock. so they put me in the ambulance they asking like 100 questions it was just awful. next thing I remember i'm waking up first thing I see is seeing my family in the hospital. So I ask the them what happened because i barely remember anything.
I had a dream that I was walking to the party and i got tired so I went to sleep in someone's yarn and they woke me up. but as they was telling me what happened I started remember what happened. So I stay in the hospital the next few days.
I found out the next morning that i was actually dead 2 minutes until they give me CPR I couldn't believe it I was actually dead. I thought i was gonna be fine after all but that was just beginning of my summer and my problems.
A few days later i got of the hospital i was 100% fine but i was good enough to walk around the next day.
I had my side was hurting so bad i was the worst pain I ever went though honestly. So that night i went to the hospital a second time I stay there for a few days.
They told had to leave but i was still in pain so i went and they give me pain medicine. That was the worst week of my life i was in so much pain. I couldn't even eat i could barely move. I when i was started feeling better but i kept coughing like really bad it was constantly it Was bad.
So we went back to the hospital they take an x-ray then the told me i had a infection in my lungs.
next they gave me surgery after thing just downhill from there i was so sick i was in bed with a tube in my side and everything by day by day i was getting better.
Couple weeks later i was getting discharged from the hospital i felt like this hospital thing wasn't over.
So i went home i was glad to be home but my head kept hurting. So i went back to the hospital the doctor told me i had fluids in my lungs so they had to put me back in the hospital. The second time was so much better than the last time i went. I like understand what the hospital meant to me they actually took great care of me i never appreciated until i when i stay the second time like you can say kinda love it there in a way. Then one night i was lying in my bed i had a vision that i was at my own funeral it was the most saddest thing i ever seeing your dead body right there watching your family and friends crying it horrible. That's when i realize a lot things. Then i got this letter that said love and prayers for you love ya anne. i had no idea who she was but it gave me hope.
So i went home again and was better much all better just had some hospital stuff i had to take. I felt reborn in like god gave me a new life ever since that happen my life has got 10x better like i'm glad i died because i wouldn't value my life like i do now. I believe you should value your life and thank god everyday you're alive because you never know when your gonna died.
