An Exciting Night For The Basketball Teams

It was a week of constant pain stirring throughout my left leg, I didn’t think much of it, “it’ll go away in a week” I told myself. The following day I noticed the sudden swelling of my lower leg, and with that a flood

The day College of Faith football team played, Missouri S&T was in the fall of 2015, it was cold. At the time me and my brothers on the football team came off a big lost to the Cougars of St. Francis. The St.Francis Cougars Are located in Fort Wayne, Texas. They are a very big school, the cougars were undefeated the whole year round. After the 65-0 lost to the cougars, we the College of Faith, had a game against Missouri S&T. I felt like a raging superstar on field, I had 8 tackles, 1 big blindside sack and 1 pass deflect, it was very cool and also sunny. Unfortunately, we got demolish, the whole team quit.We lost 64-0 Football taught me to value my life more and be more ongoing to learn new things.

After Dr. Saski looked at my leg he wanted to put a cast on. But, because he didn’t have any more plaster all he can give her was a aspirin for her fever. All I was thinking at that moment, was to stay positive and that things couldn’t get any worse from

After wait for a few minutes they called my name and we walked me down the hall and to the X-Ray room. They made me take off my boot and stand on this weird X-Ray and I had to set my foot on this weird square. I was really scared because I didn't want it to be broke again or worse. They took me back into the waiting room when the doctor came in and had the X-Rays. He said the my foot

As many know, I had surgery this past week. Surgery is extremely rough, especially for those who have been constantly battling their problem. My knee has been a mystery for my doctor for over two years and I can not fathom why this crazy mishap happened to me of all people.These last two years have been the worst years of my life due to unexpected illnesses and surgeries.

Since my knee had not recovered within a few days, I was referred to a sports medicine doctor by the school’s trainer. By the end of my first appointment, he concluded that my knee was not sprained, but my lateral meniscus had been torn. While this was an uncomplicated, simple repair, he stated that I would still be unable to play sports for a few weeks. Disappointed, my mother and I scheduled my next appointment; the next visit held multiple x-rays, tests, and examinations of my injury. About two weeks later, the doctor discovered that there were more issues than just a torn meniscus; in addition, my anterior cruciate ligament, the main knee tendon, had ruptured into several pieces. Fighting back tears, I thought my life and athletic career

The story starts in 2009. It was the summer going into my fifth grade year at Alma Intermediate school. In the fall of 2008, I had went for a CT scan looking for kidney stones. Luckily, they didn’t find any, but they did find something on the x-ray. In my left femur, there was something on it, but they didn’t know what it was. They sent me back to my pediatrician, who immediately

A 60-year-old male visited the x-ray department of the diagnostic center to receive a right foot x-ray for possible osteomyelitis. After the patient was properly identified and confirmed the procedure to be performed, he answered some routine questions such as the reason for the x-ray and whether he had any pain, surgery, bone condition, or any injury to the foot. The patient had a history of bilateral distal foot amputation derived from a diabetic ulcer, an ongoing ulcer in the right foot with pain, and no recent trauma; he walked to the room by himself and cooperated at all times. However, when he was asked to remove his right shoe and sock for the x-ray, he stated that the foot had some bandaged that cannot be removed, so the procedure continued

It was a monday and my mom and I drove to my doctor, she was aghast at how the doctors treated our problem. She took x-rays of both my feet and compared them, ¨Her toes infected, the pus is way too close to her bones, I don’t like what I see...¨ She gave us a note to have an MRI appointment it’s like an x-ray but more detailed not just bones and it scans parts of your body thoroughly and throughout that you aren’t allowed to move or you’ll mess up the pictures and it’s a very long scan mine took about 40

I was transported to Children’s of Alabama by ambulance. My sister was taken to the hospital by my grandmother. When the time came for us to find out the extent of my injuries, I was very nervous. I had never had any serious type of injury’s before so I had the fear of having surgery. My orthopedic doctor first told me I could take my neck brace off; which made me feel more comfortable about my injuries because I knew I didn’t have a brain injury or a spinal issue. Then he began to tell me my pelvis was broken in three different places. He went on to tell me I didn’t need to have surgery because the pelvis would heal correctly on its own. The break on the right side of my pelvis was worse than the left. I would have to walk with crutches because

Once I was playing on the swings in the commmuntiy park wheni decided to be stupid and jump off the swing at a high length. When i jumped, i landed on my feet and fell when i tryed to get up my hurt alot. My mom rushed over to me and asked me what was wrong. when i told her i thought i broke my foot she helped me up and rushed me to the hospital. when we got there we had to wait a couple of minutes in the room but the nurse got me ice to stop the swelling. The came in and said i needed a x-ray. She said my mom could come but i said it was all right. the room had a table and a x-ray machine on top of the room. The doctor asked me t take my shoes and socks off and lie down on the table.Three X-rays were taken (from the front, side, and at an

It was a Friday night sitting aside from the gym court as I watched two teams about to face each other. They were both great high schools and both in devision two in the sport of basketball. It was Hope High School (aka: Blue Wave) verses my school, Mount Pleasant High School also know as the Kilties. I alway hated Hope High School for their Blue Wave cockiness. That night in side the loud, hot, and sweaty high school gym, was the night of most intimidation. As the crowd cheered loudly for the Blue Wave Team, I looked up at the points differences on the billboard. Our coordination as a team was not bad, but it was not well enough to go against our other division two competent. The first half of the game us, the Kilties, were playing horrible. The second half of the game us, as the mighty Kilties, knew not to give up because we knew karma has its own fate even in the sport of basketball. It was going to be our second half of the game to score our points up and reach up to the conceited team know as the Blue Wave. We might of won most games but other games had been losses. During my high school year at Mount Pleasant High I played a game I will always remember as a foreign Kilties. Through the loss of this particular game it tough me that jealousy can over come a persons competitive side of them.

With the already terrible knees I have I knew something wasn't right. A look of horror comes over my face and I get myself to the ground. That was hands down the worst pain I ever experienced. Janelle rushes to the trainer's office. Breathing in through my nose and out my mouth to keep from passing out from the throbbing pain in my knee. I reach down to take my knee brace off which is most likely the only reason I didn’t instantly drop to the ground the second my body over twisted. The athletic trainer, Joe straightens my knee back in place making it feel better for a split second and does an examination. After icing for a short while Joe asks me,

I texted my mom later that day because the feeling in my knee still hasn’t gone away like I thought it would, and we scheduled an appointment with my doctor. Later on that week I went to the doctor to see if there was anything seriously wrong with my knee since it didn’t seem to be getting any better. I got an x-ray to see if I broke or fractured any bones in my body- which I didn’t, so they told me to go get an MRI the next week. The MRI is a giant tube like x-ray machine that looks in to see your cartilage, ligaments, muscles, etc. Half of my body was sitting inside the tube like thing and I was wearing headphones listening to music because this machine is VERY loud, so loud that I couldn’t

Running into the gym with my team, knowing it was my last middle school basketball game, but the first championship game I felt elated and truly blessed. My knees quivered with anticipation after seeing all the bleachers filled with people. After realizing even the press and other media was in attendance I grasped the moment like a newly elected president at his inauguration. I am warming up doing basketball drills, when I began to look at the flags on the gym wall depicting the history of the basketball team. The years and dates of the last championship game, Historically a championship game had not been won since 2007 . The more I stared at the flags, the more it made me want to win this game and make history in this gym. As the crowd and cheerleaders start to chant, cheer and get loud, I started to feel more comfortable and rowdy more than I had ever felt in any other game that I’ve played. Waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for jump ball to start. I felt my fingertips tapping the side of my leg, which for some reason gives me a sign to me that I am pumped up and ready to play!
