Yeah I knew what Degenerative Disc Disease is because I have an uncle who teaches high school anatomy and physiology so I asked him what it was. I'm doing a little bit better but still don't feel like talking to people a whole lot and don't feeling like doing much beyond sleeping. I did manage to eat supper last night but don't feel like eating lunch today. But I'm not too worried about the lack of appetite part because I've gone 48 hours without eating or drinking any thing before when I shut down emotionally. My counselor isn't too worried about me not eating but she is worried that I'm not drinking enough fluids. But she knows that once I hear from my hermana I'll go back to normal again. Most people don't understand that my hermana is a HUGE part of my every day routine, or the dynamics of the friendship I have with her. She isn't just someone I go to if I need to talk.....we'd email each other almost every day (sometimes multiple times a day) about whatever story I was working or about the courses I was taking. She'd get me to work on a story when I didn't feel like writing or doing anything at all. She's the only person who can pull me out of a melt down really quickly without causing more harm. I could text her when I needed her if I couldn't get a hold of her via email. ALL of that has been uprooted because of the accident.
