What did the brain say to the brain tumor?
You're getting on my last nerve.
Too soon?.... I am not one to see the negative in situations. I am what people would call a "fun-loving, free spirited" kinda girl. Besides my sickness, I have always been the person my friends and family go to for a thousand free smiles when they are feeling down. My favorite color is yellow, and it describes my personality pretty well. I am a creative person who's always the one to call to paint something or make a costume. I have been called a "baby whisperer" in the past because of my good nature with children. I meditate everyday, I have an extremely heathy diet, and I exercise regularly. I have done everything I can to treat the problems I have had since birth, and only last week did I find out the cause. I have a brain tumor in my pineal gland. For those of you who don't know, it's what is considered the "third eye" and is located in the center of the brain. Although it may seem devastating, my interests have always revolved around expanding my knowledge of the universe, so to find this out, I believe it is a significant part of my spiritual path. I continue to be the light in the room, but I feel my energy these days is fading rather quickly.
This is one of those situations where you hear the stories but never believed that it could happen to you. At 24 years old I heard the most terrifying news of my life: that I would need brain surgery. Straight out of the womb I had medical problems. Over the years the symptoms only grew stronger and, at this point, I don't live the life I'm expected to at my age. I can no longer drive due to seizures and vision problems, I can't work anymore because I accumulate too many sick days, I can't have normal relationships because, even if my mood isn't out of whack, I get sick and don't want the responsibility of someone having to take care of me. When I got the news that all my medical problems boiled down to one thing, I was excited to see there was light at the end of the tunnel. But the tumor needs to be removed immediately because I could die from a hemorrhage or an aneurysm, and I need to come up with $32,000 by the date of my surgery, August 18th, to pay for the remainder of what my insurance won't cover. I am already in debt on medical bills, and I don't seem to have any other option besides asking for your support. Every penny helps. Thank you so much for your time.
