It was a normal spring night and my baseball game had just started. It was senior night and I was pitching, we had just finish the first half of the first inning. My teammate struck out, it was my turn to hit, I swung for the ball and my leg popped twice. I went down and didn't get back up, My leg was stuck to my chest and I couldn't move it. The visiting team's coach was an EMT he ran over and said ¨this is going to hurt¨ and pulled my leg straight. What had happened was when I swung the bat my leg didn't move and my kneecap dislocated and instead of my ligaments tearing, they stretched and broke my kneecap. This was a challenge for me because this was the first time I had never broken a bone in my life. I went to the doctor and he said nothing was wrong, so my

It was a normal day in New York city. I was playing basketball with my friends in the park. When I went up for a dunk, and I got fouled and flipped around and snapped my leg. My friends were saying “get some help now.” While was setting down on the floor crying, holding my leg. When my friends called the ambulance for help.

I fell. This felt like I didn’t have a wrist. But I got back up really carefully and went up to the lounge to my dad and sister. Ah, Ah, Dad I think I broke my wrist. No you didn’t. It was swelling up, It hurt so bad I couldn’t even believe this was happening.

Next, they put me in a different room upstairs to take some x-rays, they figured out that I had 2 fractures (so practically broken!) They put an enormous cast on my arm that went all the way down to my elbow and I had to wear that for 2 weeks or something like that. After a while of having it on, my arm got numb and I couldn’t feel my hand! When we got traveled back after the 2 weeks they gave me another cast. The difference was that it was smaller and only went down to my wrist also my 2 fingers (pinky and ring) were at a 90 degree angle. They told me “Wear that one for another

When we were playing ultimate football inside one of the players threw the ball to one of the sideline players. When he threw it to me for the touchdown I dove for it and caught the ball and got a touchdown. When I fell to the ground Jacob started running to try to stop me from catching it he was trying to slow down so he was basically stomping to try to stop himself. Then he stomped on my hand I yelled in pain Dawson helped me up it hurt really bad and then Mrs Dibbens asked me if I was ok. I said yes because I thought that it was just a little injury and it would be better by my next hour. When I went into the locker room I tried to change but my hand hurt to much. But I managed to do it the hardest part of changing was when I was putting on my shoes. When I left the locker room I was about 5 minutes late to my next period. When I got there he asked Mr. Hatch asked me why I was holding my hand. I told him that Jacob Haag stepped on my hand. I asked him if I could go to the nurses he told me yes and I

My left elbow hurt very badly and I could feel blood running down my arm. It hurt so badly that I was crying. After a few minutes, I tried to get up, but I made my elbow hurt so badly because I was adding pressure to much pressure to it. Then I bent my elbow to see if it was broken because on the shows my parents watch, the doctors tell the injured people to bend their arms or legs to see if they are broken. Finally, someone noticed me and called Jaci’s mom, Brooke, over.

It started of when I was at my friends house playing soccer waiting for our other friend to come outside. While we were playing soccer i was the goalie and we were playing for like 20 minutes and I got hit in the face 3 times! So then we took a break and started to play golf, but we were only going to do putting and that was all. Then when our friend came outside we decided to do one more put each and I did mine and missed. Then as I was walking away I turned around and right when I saw him swing it came around and hit about 2 inches above my right eye. When both my friends saw my head goosing with blood the friend that just got there helped me up and told the friend that hit me to go get an adult. Once we got to the Hospital we took a C.A.T scan and after the scan the nurse told my parents that I would have to be life flighted to Primary Children’s to get stitched up with plastic stitches that went away without having to get them taken out. Then while we were in the airplane they gave me a drug called fennergin that I found I was allergic to because my reaction was crazy, at first it was my feet were really itchy then I didn’t remember anything else but my mom told me I had a huge fit and I pushed 5 Doctors and a nurse on the ground. Wants I was stitched up I woke up to some of my aunts and uncles in my room. Then I was told that I could not run, jump, and play

One day when I was about 8 years old I wanted to learn how to barrel race. So my uncle decided to teach me how. I was pretty small so he allowed me to use his short horse. The first day went pretty well I got on and me and my cousin went for a little ride to warm up. When it was mine turn to go around the barrels we started at a walk. Everything was going great until I pulled at her mouth to hard and she reared up. I fell off and when she turned to run away she kind of stepped on me and broke my arm. It didn’t hurt at firsts but when it did I balled into tears. So I was takin to the emergency room and they had to give me a cast, it was blue and hard like a brick.

I jump back to throw my back handspring. Just as soon as my hands touch the mat, I hear my right wrist make a loud pop. i sit down and start crying. Approximately five minutes later, after i had taken some tylenol, I got up and started doing more back handsprings. I didn’t want anyone to know that I was hurt, so i had to fight through the pain and keep going. As practice goes on it starts hurting worse. When i got home I told my dad that I hurt my arm at cheer practice. Well as any dad would say, my dad said, “Is your bone sticking out of your body? Are you bleeding? I didn't think so. Therefore, you’re alright.” I go to my room and laid down in the bed and started crying from the pain, or maybe it was the words that my dad had said to me, or possibly even both. Eventually, I stopped crying and went to

What I was afraid off happened. I suddenly fall and I couldn't move my leg. The team gathered around me, and they carried me out of the pitch. I couldn't move, so I sat down, and I watched the game from the bench. After I had left the match, our midfield was wide open and that caused us to lose with a shocking score. I was devastated and confused. If I was stronger we would've won the match, but instead, I was weak as always, and we lost. The next day, I told my father about what happened, and he took me to the hospital. There I took an x-ray. The doctor looked at my x-ray, and he told me that the bone that?s right under my knee got out of its place because of too much pressure on it. He added on by telling me that I shouldn?t put a lot of pressure on my legs because I was fat and unfit to

I was quick with my actions as I plummeted myself into my crapload of a car. I scurried to the sign with a rush of hope. “This guy must be demented.” I thought as I read the ad for myself. And there it was, an 8 million dollar offer for the retrieval of some old man’s beloved pet. What kind of person has that type of dough? As I remembered my current situation, It hit me that I had no time to think about this. I was trekking to this guy’s house to see for myself what the genuine reason was.

We began with a lie. I told you one more lie, too, before you left. In all honesty, we’ve been living in a world of lies for far too long, so I wanted you to know at least one truth. I’m sorry; I’m going about this the wrong way. Let me start again.

Honestly , it was my first time going to the Accident and Emergency department i was scared and worried about what will happen to my wrist and how will my parents react .While my teacher was doing all the registration i sat there in state of shock . It was really a blessing having my best friend by my side comforting me and constantly telling me everything will be alright . I was then called to do some X-RAYS before consulting the doctor . My parents finally came and just right it was my turn to consult the doctor , my mother then went in together with me . The doctor was then examining my X-RAYS that i took before consulting him . My heart was beating very very fast as I am a right hander and i need my right hand to do many things . Finally the doctor spoke , he said that there was no obvious or major fractures shown in my X-RAYS but i have to put an temporary cast on my hand. He then referred me to a specialist at KK Children Bone Specialist to ensure there was no hairline fracture or any small minor fractures .

I was tumbling for my team at a meet in Dallas, Texas. I was on a hard floor and my coach told me to do the best I could do. So I went down the floor and it hurt really bad. It felt as stiff as a board and I didn’t want to try to go down it again. So I had to because my coach told me to push through. I went for it and as soon as my hands touch after the second flip I hear a pop in my arm but I kept on going down the floor. When I got through the pass, I my arm really hurt. Then right after I got a medal, I went to go get my bag from staging and my arm hurt really bad to the point that I could not move it. My dad is a doctor and he took a look. He said that I hyperextended my arm and I would need a few weeks off. That was not what

Once they saw I was in pain they took me inside and I told them I felt a pain and I heard a crack, They thought I just cracked a stick and the pain was from the fall, they thought if they would give me an ice-pack it would help, they soon realized that didn’t help either. I went to the hospital and they took x-rays and stuff, they came back with a sling and some pictures, I looked at the pictures and I immediately knew I had a broken collarbone, I put on the sling and went home. The pain I was in is like you had 1000 pound weights on your arm, because I couldn’t move my arm a bit.
