722 Words3 Pages

I will never play tag in the dark again. I was three years old and I was going to go camping without my pesky little sister. I was so excited to go camping with my Aunt Michelle, Uncle Ken, and cousin Krysten. Krysten at the time was five years old because she is two years older than me. We all pulled into Yogi Bear Park while we were inside the RV. We were settled in and had a spot to park the RV, Krysten and I were taken to do something exciting. Krysten and I got ice cream and that was exciting because we were three and five years old. We all went to the building that has the ice cream.

The X-rays came in and the doctor thought my knee and shin bone were broken. I am taken to get X-rays again. The final results after a few X-rays were my knee bone and shin bone were bruised. It felt like I got a million X-rays but in reality, it was more like four or five. One time I was given stickers.The next time I was given a choice between a pig stuffed animal and frog stuffed animal and I picked the pig stuffed animal. The doctor told my mom that the bones being bruised was better and worse than the bones being broken. Short term it was worse because it was a longer healing process. Longer term it was better because my shin and knee would have been more vulnerable to breaks in the future if I had broken it then. The healing took a long time like the doctor said. The incident happened in the summer and I was not fully healed until around Thanksgiving so I missed a lot of Preschool. Once I could walk again I used a small, blue, metallic chair for support for a while to help me get around better. Stairs were an entirely different issue. My dad carried me up the stairs as needed until I was fully healed. I got better and better each day after that fall until I was as good as new. Once I was healed I knew I would never play tag in the dark

    Difficulties from spondylolysis plagued me for years in my teens. When the discomfort first began, I presumptuously told myself I remained tough enough to continue to play baseball through the pain; however, the soreness worsened, I needed to wear a back brace, and required several months of rest to heal. The downtime proved almost as painful as the injury itself. I felt well after this recovery period, except just as physical therapy ended, the achiness returned; a CT scan revealed not one, but two unhealed fractures that needed to be surgically repaired. During the weeks after surgery, I relied on a walker, and my pessimistic attitude caused many mental obstacles, one of which questioned my capability to be the athlete I was prior to my injury.
