Not for me. For me, today is a bit annoying because I miss out on school. I won't get to see my friends or teachers.
But for Mum, today is really hard.
She has already cried because she knows what's coming.
Today, Mum and I will go to Sydney, so the medical people can tell Mum all the things I can't do. They will point out everything bad about me.
They will almost certainly start throwing around the 'S' word again; surgery.
My hips are bad. Again. Despite the two previous surgeries. Despite the two years of muscle tone and core strength I lost, because of the surgeries.
They will probably make Mum feel like a bad mum, for not getting me to drink enough and will probably tell her I need to eat more.
Today is a tough day.
Today is one of the days where people don't realise how strong Mum and Dad are. They don't see how hard life is for them, because they always try to look strong.
There will be tears and heartache, today.
And love. Always for me, there's love.
