Benefits Of Adventurous Essay

Decent Essays
Adventurous I am adventurous. I love to try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. There is just so much in my life that I want to experience and one needs to be adventurous to be able to accomplish them. I try to live life to the fullest, and I hate wasting time not out living an adventure. My adventures usually consist of discovering a new park and soaking in all the wildlife. I enjoy the beauty of nature, and it is so invigorating when I find a new spot locally that takes my breath away. I say to myself, “Wow, I drove by this creek so many times, but I did not realize the beauty until I was knee deep in it”. I just know there is too many treasures all around us and I want to adventure and find all of the natural beauties. One of the adventures I’m most looking forward to is studying abroad.

I could not walk or move in bed without screaming in agony. The doctors could not find out what was wrong with me, and thought I was being dramatic for attention. After a two hour MRI, they figured out I had osteomyelitis of the right sacroiliac joint. In total I spent a week in the hospital. I was given antibiotics through a picc line for a month and had to carry my pump and my bag of medicine around school. I never knew something could hurt that bad, and that I could be sent to tears by someone moving me or touching me. The whole experience is very upsetting, and I have many anxieties about getting medical treatment. I will always appreciate health and the ability to walk without pain after this

    A week after my surgery I had to start physical therapy which was good and bad. Good in the fact that I was always getting stronger, but bad in the fact that it was painful and it felt pointless to try to get my hip back to normal before I had to have yet another surgery. Even though I thought physical therapy was going to be pointless, I had no choice, so I went twice a week for over two months until the date of my next surgery. The day finally came for my next surgery and it seemed just like the last surgery. The only thing that was different was my excitement level, because I knew that the recovery for this surgery was going to be…
