Waking Up

by popchoc

There are moments when all the stars align. When everything seems as it should be. It's like your problems are suddenly manageable. You feel so good, you wonder if it's real. I can tell you: it's very real. But it will not last. I'm not trying to be cynical. It's just that even when a day starts out so well, that day can end so, so badly...

THANK YOU ALL

For reading, appreciating and reviewing my story!

As a non-English, non-doctor, non-patient, non-trauma victim and even non-runner, writing this little tale turned out to be a hell of a job, that required a LOT of research and leaves me now with a lot of useless knowledge - unless of course I'll get a question about nerve-repair at some pubquiz once, but I reckon that chance is pretty slim.

The only thing I knew when writing the very first chapter was that the story would end with the both of them running around together. Their journey became more bumpy than I'd expected, but the three of us made it to the finish line after all. Nobody lost (another) leg! Yay!

All kidding aside: I had a lot of fun with these two idiots, and by sharing my story, I hope you guys had, too.

With this the "Arizona & Eliza Era" comes to an end. It's up to Shonda and co again. Who knows... they just might inspire me once more?

Happy Season 14, feel free to find me on tumblr to chat more if you like, and thanks once again for your support! xoxo
