Life can sometimes be like a Rollercoaster

Rollercoaster's....They slowly climb to the top going higher & higher as we get more and more nervous.....then when we least expect it down we go all the way to the bottom very very fast then slowly back to the top to do it all over again.......Aaaagggggghhhhh
Makes me wonder why people would want to do that you would never get me to go on one, the thought of it fills me with terror, yet life can be just like a Rollercoaster going up & down and being scared along the way......This is the story of the Rollercoaster ride in my life.

In August 2002 my youngest daughter Natalie (Natz) as she likes to be called had just turned fourteen in April of that year, she was just a normal teenager doing the things teenagers do...dancing, going out with friends, listening to music, and shopping.
one afternoon on the way home from school she slipped of the edge of the kerb and twisted her foot and ankle, it was swollen and tender so we went to the hospital to have it looked at. They did an x-ray which came back normal so she was given a tubagrip bandage and sent home to rest it.
Some weeks later it should have healed but instead it was still causing her problems, we noticed a small lump on the inside of her foot which was very painful to touch, this caused problems when her trainers or shoes rubbed against it, so the GP sent us to see an orthopaedic doctor at the hospital who did a second x-ray this time it showed up a small growth on one of the bones in her foot, the doctor told us it was called a Neuroma.
He told us that he could try some other other treatments, but that if they didnt help we might like to think about an operation to have it removed by surgery. In the end this was the choice we had to make nothing else was helping with the pain,and this was the beginning of my Rollercoaster Ride......
