Muscle (freewrite)

in #freewrite5 years ago

Honestly, I was having mental block and there was no words and no stories available when I looked at the prompt "muscle". Literally, I could feel the brain was tired and all it wanted was rest. And sleep.

I thought the more we work on a particular muscle, the stronger it becomes. This doesn't seem to apply on brain. It looks like to me the more work or information dumped on the brain, it gets tired if it is not coupled with sufficient rest. Deprivation of sleep was what I went though these past few days due to son not feeling well.

I looked at the prompt again and all I could think of was my son's right diaphragm's muscle not properly formed when he was in the womb, causing his liver, right kidneys and huge chunks of intestines to creep into his right lungs. Then at 6-day-old, he had to go through surgery to get that muscle fixed.

The surgeon took out all the liver, kidney and intestines from his right chest cavity, put them back to their original (not so original anymore) place and had its diaphragm muscle sewn. Needle work was done on his muscle.

Why was the diaphragm muscle not properly formed is still a question unanswered to me and doctors and researchers all around the world. It is not gene-related, not a hereditary disease, not passed down by ancestors, so they just term it - congenital.

Oh well, I won't dwell much on this and should focus more on positive thoughts for the days to come. I know the more we are being optimistic, it is like a muscle trained, the more optimistic we will become, and life will be easier with lesser worry or fearful thoughts.

That's all for now, an unusual freewrite due to mental block. Oh brain muscle, please be alright soon? Wait, does brain made up of muscle? Bless you brain. I shall challenge the brain by thinking and writing. Ha!
