I had an MRI (Magic Radiation Imaging sounds better, doesn’t it?) for my hips because they have been hurting for 3 years now. Unfortunately, my doctor said it is probably chronic pain, which is bad, but I’ve learned it can always be worse. For instance, I have amazing, supportive friends who can sense when I’m in pain and help me through it. My parents and sister, of course, are awesome. My teachers are really nice and understanding. (Woohoo!) And strangely, I can sort of be grateful about PE this year. It isn’t easy—I didn’t expect it to be—but it is easier. My PE teacher is pretty nice, and the girls I’m in PE with aren’t mean like last year (thank goodness). Sure, I fall down a lot, but that’s okay. I can count my blessings. School is better, and that makes pretty much everything better.
