My life having injuries is difficult. Most of the time, I cannot play because of it. People don’t always think you can play through an injury but sometimes you have to do what you got to do. Injuries have an impact on people life. After an injury, they be scared to start back playing something because they think that if they start back playing on it, they will mess it up worse.…
The Bad Knee As I see the ball flying up in the Monticello Trails gym, I knew I could catch it and get the other team out. Once I try to jump up to get it, my feet don’t even leave the ground before I feel a horrible pain in left knee. A terrible pain I hoped never to feel again. Dislocation is the displacement of one or more bones at a joint according to the Merriam Dictionary. Dislocation feels like someone ripping one of your extremities off.…
Camp is place unlike any other. It is a place that people’s wall begin to fall down and new relationships are formed. This is bound to happen when you drop 200 teenagers in the middle of the Smoky Mountains without any of their electronics. I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Project Serve team and got to see camp from a new perspective. I got to be a part of all of the behind the scenes work, but also daily interactions with all of the campers due to my job at camp.…
Next thing I felt was a sudden grind in my left knee, popping in and out, and I just dropped feeling the worst amount of pain I have ever had in my whole life. All I remember was lying on the ground, freaking out, wondering what had happened. My knee…
I broke my collarbone that day on that day changed my life. I layed down on the couch for the whole summer because, I couldn't do anything I could barely sit up. Every little movement hurt and all I could think of is baseball and fishing, like how I couldn't go fishing with my friends and play baseball. My summer was ruined and miserable I never felt so pissed at myself and I couldn't imagine what my dad was thinking. I don’t even like to talk about because, how mad I get talking about to where I could be playing baseball and getting better at that and fishing.…
Some people never break a bone, but other people have broken bones before. Some people might break one in their lifetime or break many. I know some friends that have broken bones, and they broke the bone by messing around. My brother has also broke his bone by trying to do the monkey bars at school, and he slipped and fell. I broke my arm when I was four years old.…
Although this injury was seemingly terrible, it had some upsides to it. For one, friends thought I was cool and tough and my parents did almost everything I wanted. It also taught me which hand was my left and which my right. Throughout this I tried to make the best of the situation that I was in, even though there were some twists and turns.…
Experiencing something new can be frightening. One of the most nerve-racking experiences I’ve had was when I had surgery for the first time. One day over the summer I started to have pain on the right side of my abdomen. The pain was mild at first but it got worse.…
The next day I could walk but I couldn’t play outside. All my neighbors were asking me “Do you feel better?” and I said “ Yes but not enough to run.” So then a couple of days later I was okay to play outside. I never wanted to shower because the water would hurt…
The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…
I am not a boxer, but I got a boxer's fracture. A boxer's fracture is a fracture of one of the metacarpal bones in the hand. The fracture occurs when a person hits an immovable object with a closed fist. That is exactly what I did about one year ago. My ex boyfriend's collar bone was the point of contact.…
I never would have thought I would ever break a bone nor have a major injury in my whole life. I thought I was invincible, but that all changed in the seventh grade. I never played a down of football in my life till I joined the team in 2010. It is a bit ironic that the first year I would join football, would be the first year I would sustain an injury. I tore my ACL my first year of contact football.…
My spring brake wast to fun, as I expected. The first three days of my spring break I went for walks with some friends. I also went to get an ice cream, where almost all people go to, “El Paisanito” they really have good ice cream there, it has an unique flavor. Last Saturday my older brother invited me to go to a soccer game in Portland. I’m not a soccer fun…
Being the youngest child in a family, I grew up with one of my hip deformed. Almost throughout my elementary school year, I walked in a funny way. Most kids would make fun of the way I walked. The teachers would always tell the other kids to leave me alone, but they would never listen. I had to go to school every day knowing I would be made fun off and pushed around.…
My First Broken Bone The time I broke my first bone, I was tumbling and the event affected me greatly. It had a major impact on the way I thought and my mindset when it comes to achieving my goals. Sometimes, things happen in life that bring us down and make us doubt ourselves, but no matter what happens, we should always keep striving to reach our goals. Which is what I had to do when I was going through a rough time in tumbling. On an afternoon in June of 2011, I attended my normal tumbling class at Full FX in Port Arthur, Texas.…
