I hear the beat of my heart on my monitor. My body lies completely still. My mind is awake but my body doesn’t respond, I can’t even open my eyes. Every single day I struggle trying to move my lips or wiggle my toes. But I can’t, the nerves in my body aren’t responding to me. Five months ago, I went into a coma from a blow to the head because of a car accident I got into. The slick black ice on the road made a car crash right into mine going 80 miles per hour. The doctor’s announced that my whole body was paralyzed, but I refuse to believe it. I can fight this, I know I can. I’m trying with all my heart to move my fingers, to be able to speak, to be able to feel, anything.
