AIR-CLINIC WRITING CONTEST:MY LAST INJURY
Mummy always warned me against this bad habit, but I never listened or understood why she got mad when she saw me busy with my phone, while walking on a street...
It was a beautiful Saturday morning. I was indeed restless all through the night for the break of the day so I could go for my excursion to a beautiful site, somewhere in Africa.
The journey was fun; dancing, jokes, stories, and singing. it was all fun till we got to the camp.

As soon as we dropped our bags, we were set to visit a beautiful and amazing site of trees, waterfalls and ancient stones. I was so excited on seeing the natural environment which made me say to myself, "God is great" and started taking pictures so I could start sharing on social media. When I had taken a reasonable number of shots, I went online to share them with my friends.
So carried away posting pictures and smiling on seeing immediate likes and comments, I didn't see a big rough stone ahead of me. Before I could say jack, I had hit my knee forcefully against the stone which gave me a sharp cut on my left leg that almost paralyzed me. I was in excruciating pain that i didn't even know when tears started to roll down from my eyes.
I was immediately administered first aid and taken back to camp to relax.
It was just the first outing and still had two more days to go and now this.
I was taken back home for proper care, couldn't even walk on my own without the support of others.
The wound took three weeks before healing could take place. When I try to bend my knee, the wound opens up again and this made me keep my leg straight for some weeks.
PREVENTION
Stay safe by using your phone at the right time and place. When you have an urgent call or text, step aside to respond to them before continuing your walk.
