The symptoms are called the five P’s: Pain, pallor, paresthesia, pulselessness, and paralysis. Swelling is also commonly found in…

That day twenty years ago started like any other day, I woke up, got ready for school, ate breakfast and left to meet my best friends Jamie and Christine so we can walk to school together. What I didn’t know is in a split second my life would change my life forever. The memories of that day are still a little fuzzy, it feels like mini clips from a movie. I remember it was cloudy and drizzling on that day. I was walking along talking to my friends. Then stopping at a busy intersection waiting…

It was a perfect pass, and it went directly to me. With my tired looking knee pads, I sprinted halfway across the court to get the ball that is now descending from its highest point to the ground. Another four feet away from me and I know that if I do not get down on the floor then I will not have enough time to save the ball.
