Chapter 1 Flash(unedited)
Another morning realizing I'm not dead yet. That should make me happy I know but it doesn't, waking up everyday feeling empty, seeing my mothers puffy eyes, hearing her cry every night next to my hospital bed. Not a good sight I must say, not forgetting the hundreds of drugs I have to take.
My life is literally a routine! Waking up, brushing up, getting my tubes changed, taking my drugs, taking a walk around the hospital if Morine sees me fit enough, then back to bed but the truth is I'm dying and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
I was diagnosed with HCV when I was 9years old, my Mom gave everything she had down to her last penny to make sure I went through Chemo and could afford the drugs. She even started working 2 jobs. Everything was OK till she could no longer afford the drugs and when I turned 19, like a joke it started from appetite loss, early satiety and abdominal pain, I thought it was nothing and will take pain killers and appetamin to help out but things just got worst. I started getting jaundice, itches and ascites till I passed out one day on my way home
I was rushed to the hospital and after getting admitted, in the state of semi consciousness, I could hear whispers out the door
A Year Ago
My eyes were so heavy that I had to keep them shut but that couldn't stop me from hearing my mom with a man I suspected to be the doctor talking outside.
" Miss Caster..." he said and huffed "your daughter has third stage liver Cirrhosis"
"What do you mean?" I could hear her voice break
"You daughter has stage 3 Hep C which involves cirrhosis of the liver. Her liver is failing. I'm sorry but you daughters chances of survival are...slim. she needs a liver transplant"
