David is very different from other kids. He doesn't feel pain. He has defeated the odds of surviving with a condition like his by 14 years. The only problem is, his life isn't really living. Having to have a nurse consistently checking up on you to make sure you haven't burned or stabbed yourself in the process of doing something simple is embarrassing. He's been in the hospital over 200 times and has been in several comas over the course of his life. His watch will tell him when to eat, use the restroom, his body temperature (so he doesn't overheat), if he's choking, if his pulse isn't normal, and more. His life is dependent on the watch and the nurses. As he grows up, he loses the people he loves. His parents leave him on his grandparents doorstep, his grandparents die, and the nurses all have to leave to do big and better things. David realizes he probably doesn't have that much longer to live so he makes a bucket-list. Can he do the things on his bucket-list? They may seem easy to you but with David's condition it's nearly impossible. |
