My Story!
Hey Guys!
So since me and !girlinherdreams! started vlogging you do see me more. And at times my whole body is being put onto camera which I am fine with but some of you might not understand. That made me decide to tell you "My Story" and how it all began. Here we go..
I guess it started when I was in my mum's tummy, as I was born with one of the legs shorter than the other. And now you are probably thinking "Ew! What a freak she is!!". No I swear I'm normal. Then my doctor decided to wait 'till I'm at least 6 years old because the surgery I needed was very serious and a little baby wouldn't really survive. So I grew and I was running around with all the little kids building sandcastles and having snowball with my eye-catching shoes. One of them; the left one had a platform on the bottom so my spine wouldn't go all funny from my walking. I still remember on my 5th birthday when I got a "Baby Born" and I was so happy with it; waking up in the morning to a birthday cake beside my bed. So then 365 days passed and I turned 6. I can't remember anything from my birthday celebrations but what I can remember is being told that I'm going into hospital to have my surgery in about a months time. I guess then I didn't understand it all- "Just a game of Doctors" I used to say. Then I remember waking up with a massive metal system fixed into my leg called the "Striker" which held my bone and every-time you turn a little hook it extends my bone for a little length. All of that was fine and it all worked but one day I was walking down my corridor on crutches when I suddenly slipped- that made me brake my knee bone! Me and my mum didn't realize it was broken so I just got carried into bed as it really hurt. About 2 days later the pain didn't go away so we made our way to the hospital to find out it was broken. And that led to a cast! Then it was taken off and everything was fine.
In 2011 I was supposed to have another surgery on my leg to keep extending it but we ended up moving to Engalnd which is where I am now! Obviously with my leg I couldn't walk far distances so I got a scooter which made it so much easier to go to school! A year later it was definite that we would not be returning to Lithuania so we applied for an appointment about my leg. Didn't receive an answer 'till 2013.. A long time to wait that is! Well I went through all those X-rays and blah blah blah and the decision was made. I was due to have an operation last summer on my hip. So remember I mentioned the scooters? Yeah, well they ruined my hip. It somehow got pushed up and out of it's socket. I was going to be in a wheelchair for about 6 months after the two surgeries and then onto crutches as hip surgeries are very serious and hard. It came to the start of the summer and I dreaded every minute of it because I knew any day we would get a letter asking to pack up my bags and come to the hospital. The summer went on and on but no letter came- that was a relief for me but I do want the operations done before I'm much older. It brings me to now- I'm in Year 8 and I limp. Yeah I do get dirty looks and all that but I guess you just have to ignore? It does get hard for me though, as Zoe Sugg said "Sometimes it gets a little too much".
So what I'm asking you guys is= please don't judge a book by it's cover (unless you're in a library) and join me on journey forward. Who knows what life will bring! I also want to say a BIG thank you to my best friend !girlinherdreams! form being there when I need her, I might not show it but it means a lot! I've dedicated a little section for you:
