Chronicle of a sickle cell warrior?
As a Sickle Cell patient, My mom would always wish that pains are transferable.. In her words, If they were transferable, she would have my pain transferred to her, so she get to feel all the pains, while I don't.. Truth be told, if pains were really transferable, I won't transfer it to her... I rather feel the pain alone. Seeing me in pain everytime, is enough pain for her.
Disadvantage of Having Sickle cell anemia?
1. You are the weirdo among others. 2. You always look like you just arrived from the moon. 3. You have little or no friends at all.. 4. The hospital (ER) is your second bedroom 5. You carry drugs around.πΆπΆ
Today's episode on Sickle cell and I
I totally forgot that sickle cell loves disgracing someone, because tell me why I'm experiencing crisis when I am on a dateπ€§π€¦, like can't you wait for me to tell him about you, must you show yourself!?π© SmhπΆ
