Hey, I saw your blog post. I hope things are getting better. I can kind of relate because in 4th grade I broke my arm and had to get surgery to get flexible nails put in, then 2 days before my surgery to get them out, which was 2 days before Christmas, I broke my toe. I had to be in a brace for my arm for at least 2 more months, and I had to wear a foot for who knows long. So I basically had something on my arm for at least 5 months and something on my foot for at least 2 months. It was terrible, it really was. And for 2 years, I celebrated the day I broke my arm, trying to make some happy memories on that day. I just had to learn to embrace the hardships. I now have 3 scars on my right arm. 2 pretty noticeable ones, and one on my elbow. People ask about them so often, and I never enjoy telling people about it because it brings back those terrible memories. Even something so simple can cause me to start thinking about it, then, next thing I know, I have been thinking about it for an hour. It really cause me some pain. I had nerve damage done. I couldn't really feel most of my fingers for a few months. And I eventually got all the sensation back, but there is still one spot on my hand that is you rub it, my hand will start to tingle. For so many months, I was wondering if my toenail would grow back. But, the key was to stay positive. I am still kind of emotionally damaged from it. Whenever I stub my toe I really think I might have broke it. It sucks, but I stay positive. Oof, I just noticed how long this was XD sorry! Well, sorry for my very long rant, but what I was trying to say was that just staying positive will make you feel so much better. Once this really long mountain is over, you will have a ton of good things coming your way. Hope you are felling better,

-Erica :)
