Sicklecell storie

There is the world everyone else lives in, and then there is the sickle world. ​It's a place where a change in the weather isn't just an inconvenience-it's a physical threat. Where plans are always written in pencil because your own blood cells can decide to stage a coup at any given moment. ​The Sickle World is a collection of raw, conversational prose and poetry written from the trenches of chronic illness. It's not an idealized story of "triumphing over adversity," nor is it a clinical breakdown of a medical condition. Instead, it's a blunt, middle-of-the-night look at the reality of living in a body that hurts. It captures the heavy silence of the hospital room, the frustration of being misunderstood by a healthy world, the exhausting mental math of pacing your own energy, and the quiet, stubborn resilience it takes to keep breathing through a crisis. ​This is for anyone who knows what it's like to mourn the versions of themselves they had to leave behind. It's for the chronically ill who are tired of being told to "stay positive," and for the people who love them who want to finally understand what it really feels like inside the storm. ​No filters. No toxic positivity. Just the beautiful, painful, absolute truth of a life lived one heartbeat at a time.

This is the story of Hannah and Kei-of second chances, unspoken pain, and the kind of love that lingers even after goodbye. Hannah has sickle cell disease, a condition that shaped much of her childhood and led her to make painful decisions-including walking away from Kei, the boy who once promised he'd never leave her side. "It's not that I stopped loving you," she had whispered then, "it's that I loved you enough to let you go." Years later, fate brings them together again at university. Hannah, quiet and determined, becomes the manager of the men's volleyball team for her scholarship. She never expected to see Kei again-let alone as the team captain. Kei, older now but still carrying the weight of her absence, is stunned. "You disappeared," he says, not accusing, just aching. "And I waited anyway." As practices stretch into late evenings and old routines resurface, so do buried feelings. Kei starts noticing how Hannah hides her pain behind clipped answers and an ever-present water bottle. He remembers the hospital visits, the quiet sobs, the strength it took for her to pretend she was fine. "I never stopped caring, Hannah" Kei admits one night after practice. "Not even when you vanished." But as their connection deepens, so do the stakes. Hannah's condition is unpredictable, and the question lingers: Can she afford to let Kei in again? And will love be enough to face what lies ahead? Will they find their way back to each other? Will Hannah find healing-not just for her body, but for the parts of her heart that never stopped aching?

In 2014, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the hips. That's when my nightmare began. What is avascular necrosis? Avascular necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis of the femoral head, occurs when the blood supply to the bone is decreased. This interruption in blood supply causes small cracks and breaks in the bone. If the AVN is left untreated, the bone will eventually die and collapse. Over 20,000 people acquire AVN every year, typically between 20 and 50 years old. It can be caused by a number of factors, such as damage to the bone's blood supply, or injury to the bone itself, which can damage blood vessels and precipitate AVN.
