Miracles
Just read a post on the myositis support site about miracles. I like miracles !! Fills us with so much hope!! The posts on the group really inspire me. So many people are dealing with the same disease but in such different ways. All their stories are really inspiring when you are not feeling great yourself.
I have experienced my share of miracles. Although cant remember all of 'em. To begin with, during the onset of my illness in 1997, after a month of misdiagnosis, I'd convulsions n had slipped into a coma. I was 14 years old then and a very active sports person. All this came as a big shock to my family. My mother used to pray holding my hand ,sitting beside my bed. On March 16, I had experienced more episodes of convulsions n the doctors had told before then that they couldn't predict anything. One such day, just like that I called out for my mother who was sitting beside me. To this day, there is no doubt in my mind that it was possible only because of my dear family's prayers.
I'm so close to all my family members and don't hesitate even for a moment to help them out, they too have done the same thing for me all the time.
Over the years have experienced other miracles too, not only in my life but also by people close to me. Well the other miracle that greatly affected me happened this year on March 15. We had our campus placements, to work after completing our Master's Degree in June 2008. Since Feb, only 3 companies had come of which I was selected in one of them. However due to relocation problems I had to opt out of the offer. Unlike the other two companies they weren't asking for any service agreement & the pay too was good. However on 15 March, I got seleced in my current company. Firstly, it is located in my city , I won't have to relocate. The pay for the first year is slightly less than some of their competitors, but is fine with me. We have an increment of almost 7500 after our training is done. So thats really good for me.
However,before getting selected I had spent 1-2 sleepless nights. I was in immense pain. Never in the past 10 years had I experienced such pain in my knees,calf muscles. I had given up on my preparations for the day & was wondering when I'll come back home and take rest. But things changed pretty fast out there. The whole day during the selection process I was on just a packet of biscuits. Too tired to travel & have a bite for lunch coz the interviews were on the fourth floor and the elevators were pretty busy that day. Since more than 300-400 students were present on the campus. However fortunately with God's grace I cleared the selection process without any problems. Now that I wrote down about the dates, really amazes me how life can change in 10 years.
Pursuit of happiness continues...Just received a call in the evening that my current company has got project work in my city and I won't have to pay twice the rent & travel to and fro. But they might not be paying much of stripend !!!! Anyways, I have got to work here & no place else. Would really help my work experience in the long term point of view. Will get more news on this topic tomorrow from our placement officer. For now, hope have one of those miracles!
