When people asks me about my leg and what had happened to it, I tell them this story that leaves them speechless. I tell them that I got hit by a car and then they will never ask me again and they will just look at me with shock and wonder how I had surpassed the pain. Now I will tell you the real story behind the accident.
It started during our summer vacation and I played volleyball. The game was almost over but suddenly when I jumped my hand caught the net and when I fell and tried to stand I was not able to then suddenly this sharp excruciating pain shot through my knee. It was extremely painful. I cursed a lot but I managed not to cry. I was grabbing anything that I could and it was really hard. I felt that I was about to die and that the degree of accident was really great. I still managed to laugh about it but deep inside I want to cry but I must stay strong for the kids. HAHAHA
I was rushed into the emergency room and I could hear the nurses saying that "Grabe wala na sa alignment oh" then reality hit me hard and it made me realize that my situation was no joke. The orthopedic doctor during the day that the accident had happened was on a medical mission and they tried to call different hospitals and they had found the proper hospital but it seems that the doctor will be available the following day, so I was confined and they placed a splint in my leg.
The following day, I was brought to the hospital were the doctor would take a look at my knee. The doctor tried to talk to me and asked me questions then suddenly he pulled my leg and then I heard a snap. It caught me by surprise and I screamed in pain and that was the moment that I cried. I cried because it hurts a lot but then the doctor explained to me the reason why he did that. If he had done it slower it would be really painful for me. Then he placed this thing called knee immobilizer and prescribed me to wear it for at least 3 weeks.
And that is the real story behind my accident last summer :)
