PAIN, PAIN, GO AWAY!!!

Where am I? Okay, I know where I am. I lied. I'm in a classroom. I'm looking at a grey kangaroo. Okay, that was only a part lie. I am looking at a kangaroo. Of course, it's a foot tall and stuff and sitting on a table. But it is a kangaroo. The only reason that I'm lying so much is because I'm trying to make this interesting because I don't know how. I guess I could go through my summer. Now that was interesting.

It was the 11th of July on a Sunday morning, I was getting ready to go to church. Recently everything on my body has been really kinda sore. And when I say everything, I mean everything. So I got out of bed that morning and was getting ready for church. Well we had to get going because it was 10:20 and church started at 11:00. My Dad had gone to church earlier with my two older brothers. So it was just me and my brother Ben and my Mom home. Well, I was in the Laundry Room getting my shoes on and my Mom was telling us to hurry up at the door. I got up and twisted wrong or something. I screamed a painful scream. My Mom said, "What's wrong?" Then I started to black out from the pain.

"Mom! Mom! I can't see!" is all I could say. I grabbed the wall and my head. My Mom came running down the hall. She told Ben to go get me a glass of water. He did, fast. I drank and put it on the washer. When my vision started coming back. Then I sat down on the rug. My Mom called my Dad and told him to come home. (During all of this, my back still hurt like crazy.) My back kept spazaming which, by the way, is what happened in the first place that made me start to pass out. That's when my Mom helped me down into a laying position. I'd have pain often. Pain and I'd scream like a six year old girl. It got so bad that literally every time I'd move a muscle, I would have a spasm. My back would arch up and I'd have a pain so big that I felt like I wanted to die. I'd stare up at the cereal on the shelf above and I told my Mom to just kill me it hurt that bad. I finally started to relax. My Mom was on the floor with me. That went on for a good twenty minutes, but it felt like hours. Finally, I heard the front door open.
