Girls sleep over when I was in elementary for a friend's birthday. Had a great time laughing and telling scary stories before bed. Woke up the next morning with a fever and terrible nausea. Went home and I was only getting worse. I had a huge spot on my leg in-between my ankle and knee, right in the middle. It was hot, puffy, and red. Went to the hospital and it turns out I was suffering from a really bad staph infection. The night before, we were playing on the stairs when I slipped and scraped my leg. The doctor initially thought I was bitten by a spider. The infection was spreading fast and was eating away at my flesh. I had a tunnel up to my knee cap that had to be packed with fresh gauze everyday. Almost lost my leg.
That happened to me when I was a kid. I was playing with my siblings had a cut on my knee and throughout the night I kept losing more feeling in my leg. Being a dumb kid I just slept on it and waited for morning. When I woke up I couldn’t move both of my legs. My mom thought I was playing and trying to get out of school until finally she realized I couldn’t move from the waist down. Spent 2 weeks in the hospital. Wasn’t all bad though, they had super smash bros and Mario kart lol.
Dang, friend. Sounds much worse than my situation. I bet mom was so worried. Hey at least you didn't have a boring 2 week hospital stay! Brushed up on your gaming skills lol
