Bounded by Love

Chapter 25

Lately, I haven't felt like myself. I have been experiencing tiredness due to the fact that each time I walk 5 minutes my legs become extremely tired and lets not forget my now droopy eyes. I know I wasn't a social butterfly before but now I'm putting up walls which comes with not having the balls to look people in the eyes because now my are a funny lookibg. Now each time I have to talk to someone my eyes are everywhere except on that person.

I'm tired of this and I fear that this may be permanent. Today my mom and I booked an appointment to see a neurologist and at the moment all I can hope is that the symptoms may just go aways. Maybe I should tell Dre about this but I don't want to give a false alarm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah he's my boyfriend and all but right now I just want to clear my head.You know find the brighter side things instead of getting pity right front of center. My mom is an example because she is treating me like I'm on my death bed. This stance may be selfish but its the best route for me.

"Katie baby are you ready?" see she hardly calls me baby. All the pity is reserved for me.

"Mom I'll be right there!" I shouted leaving my room.

"So how are u feeling?" I heard her ask with me behind her when leaving the house.

"Nervous in a sense, I just hope everything goes smoothly" I replied entering the car.

Our conversation was short. I don't know if she sensed that I was not in no mood for the chit chat. Honestly, I have many things on my mind. My relationship with for one is what I am worried about. I keep on wondering if he will love me regardless. Usually nothing good lasts forever.

It had been a 3 hr drive and I kept drowning in my thoughts, right now lets just say I'm very happy we just arrived at the doctor's office. As we began to walk my hands became sweaty and let's mother was with me every step reaching to the receptionist.

"I'm Katie and I'm here to see Dr.Triviani." I said to the receptionist.

"Oh yes the doctor is waiting on you, please come this way" she beckoned us.

"Good morning Dr.Triviani"  we greeted. "Ahh yes, Good morning Katie and her beautiful mother. How are you ?" He asked. "I have been better" I replied not to be disrespectful or anything but I was being serious. Not everyday someone's life get turned around so quickly.

"So, you said you have been experiencing tiredness in your muscles and droopy eyes am I correct?" He looked up from his notepad and looked in my direction.

"Yes" I replied feeling extremely self conscious in that particular moment.

Afterwards, I saw him write down something on his huge notepad. Is that even needed not even a small one couldn't help?

Okay now he has some weird tool in his hands. Okay don't freak out don't freak out! One of them even look like a freaking hammer.

"Sit up please, I will use this tool. Its called a Plexor and its main function is to check your reflex. This won't hurt one bit." Well this is definitely something someone would say if it would hurt. I don't trust it one bit.

He used the Plexor to get hit both knees and there was no reflex. Oh look it didn't hurt either. He was telling the truth. Wait does this mean I have not reflex though? Anyways he went ahead and did other tests.

"Okay miss Katie, the reasons for the symptoms that you were experiencing is because you have Myasthenia Gravis" he told me.

"Myas- what!?" I seriously think I'm freaking the hell out.

"Myasthenia Gravis. It's a autoimmune disease that messes with the muscles in the body that's why you're feeling so tired and having droopy eyelids. Your body has above the normal amount of antibodies and affects the neuromuscular junction."

"Okay" having no clue what the heck was said to me. "Is this permanent?"

"Yes it is and patients need to take medication everyday for the rest of their lives." He said softly.

"Oh dear" I whispered n looked over at my mother and she seemed to be in the same level of shock as I am.

Hello lovelies ❤ I'm back..😊
