Personal Narrative: The Pain

Improved Essays
I felt the sharp stinging pain on my chin when I had on my dad’s work pants on, then my sister all of a sudden pulled the back of them so I went falling forward and come to find out I busted my chin open. My dad had to take off work early just to come pick me up and rush me to OU medical center in Edmond to get stitches. I was afraid it would hurt but I asked the nurses who did my stitches, “Will it hurt?” and they told me “it won't hurt if you numb it with ice so you won't be able to feel a thing when we put the needle and thread inside your chin and there is no need to worry we got it in control”
Then a couple weeks later when my stitches closed and cleared it of infection we went to my pediatrician, the nurse got some scissors and

He was plowing some fields with the tractor, and I was of course getting myself into trouble. I had recently gotten a fold out knife that I brought with me.…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    Walking down the long and dreaded hospital hallway around four in the morning, hearing my own slippers scuff across the floor as I limped, I tried remaining as calm as possible since I had already had plenty of time to think. We just entered the room that I would be staying in. My emotions weighed each other out so I didn’t know how to react anymore. Should I be happy that things will be better for me after, or scared that something could go wrong and having to recover from such a traumatic procedure?…

    That's when they informed us I'd have to get internal stitches along with external stitches. To start off the whole process they cleaned the wound then grabbed a needle and gave me 4 shots of numbing medicine on each corner of the cut. That was one of the most nerve-wracking things I've experienced, the needle was about 2 inches from my eyeball and every time he’d give me a shot I start to cringe but I couldn't close my eyes or it would stretch the cut and make it start bleeding again. Then they began stitching with 5 inside the cut and 20 holding the cut closed.…

    When I was about 5 or 6 years old I was obsessed with my cat Spike who probably hated me (still probably does). Spike is a smaller black cat that was so jumpy and energetic it was almost like he was a spring that never stopped bouncing. My 6-year-old self-didn't grasp the concept that animals didn’t like to be grabbed and treated as a toy, so naturally, I carried him all around the house like a baby as he tried to get released from my grasp. On one sunny Californian February day, my dad and I were just running around the house and messing around like we usually did and I decided that I should pick up the cat like a baby with his paws conveniently near my face. As I ran down the hall with the cat in my arms, my dad jumped out from a corner…

    Small decisions can majorly impact your life. Small decisions like how you decided to do your hair will not impact your life as much as some other small decisions. For example, whom you sit with at lunch or what group of friends you hang out with can majorly impact how others think of you and what you will be like in the future. One small decision I made in the past involved having a goal for baseball. My goal was to hit the ball more than it hit me.…

    The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
