Sick with a Tumor

Exploring the Hospital

Last night I didn't get much sleep because I was woken up at two in the morning just to get my vitals checked. I woke up and my mom got her daily coffee and I got my breakfast.
This time a different nurse came in and told me I would be getting an MRI. They were going to check the size of my tumor, she also told me that on floor 16 there was a place called the fun zone and there were many games and activities that I could hang out there.
So I tell my mom what she told me and she walked with me over to floor 16. As we walked over there I saw other children and babies in my floor. It gave me sorrow and sadness to see them just laying there on their bed with their families. Some were watching TV and others were sleeping.
As we got to the fun zone I had to sign in. I had to put my name and my room number. As I looked around I saw that there was a pool table, arcade games, coloring books, a WII, A computer, and arts and crafts. I started to play an arcade game that was a lot of fun and it was completely free so I could play it as many times as I liked. Then I made my own T-shirt with my name on it and put some flowers around it. Minutes later some nurses came to pick me up with the wheelchair for the MRI.
They took me to a different floor and there I saw different nurses and they asked me if I was wearing any metal. I had to take off my earrings and my necklace, I gave those to my mom and she put them in her purse.
Then they explained to me that I couldn't move the whole time and that it would only take 30 minutes.
When they told me that, I got nervous because I hated tight spaces, I've never had an MRI and I knew that I would probably move and if I moved they would have to start over.
They also told me that they could put a movie for me so I could be distracted or they could put anesthesia so I could fall asleep but I don't want anesthesia because I didn't know when I would wake up and it would just be faster if I just got through with it.
They gave me a list of movies and I chose The Princess and the frog. They prepared me for the MRI and soon I was laying on a hard surface.
Everything was going smooth then as I suspected I needed to move. I moved my feet a little bit but the lady seemed to notice so through the microphone she told me I only had 10 minutes left but I told her I needed to move.
I felt very uncomfortable but she was kind enough to tell me that she would let me move a little bit so she paused the MRI.
As she resumed the MRI I still felt like moving but I was too embarrassed to ask her to if I could move again. The next 10 minutes felt like forever but luckily it was over. They strolled me back to my room and I was surprised to see my dad because he doesn't live with us and I haven't seen him in a long time.
My mom must've called him.
I haven't talked to him since he had told me he had a girlfriend and that his girlfriend was pregnant.
In fact he told me he had had this girlfriend for three years.
I was so mad because he had three years with this woman and he never told me and I was even more mad because this woman was already eight months pregnant and he waited eight months to tell me that she was pregnant.
So the last thing I wanted to see was his face. He hurt me. It was fine that he had a new family, but he should've told me sooner. And now here he was.

"Hi" was the first thing he said.
