Thanksgiving 2010 will be one I’ll never forget. My mom, dad, sister, and I were going to my cousin’s house in Indiana for a Thanksgiving get together that was supposed to be a great time. The week leading up to our trip was strange. I was having back pain that restricted my movement to perfect posture at all times. If I altered that I would be in extreme pain.  We left on a Thursday and was planned to come home the Sunday coming up.  After the second night I became very ill. I had a fever of 103 degrees and was sweating profusely.  I had an extreme headache and my mind was spinning. Being the determined person I was, I went black Friday shopping with my cousins in the morning. After shopping I worked up the ambition to go lazar tagging with my cousins because I was not about to be left behind.  I felt fine during that time but realized soon after that I was not ok at all.
