These shocking event might be human-induced or unforeseen circumstances. But no matter the type or level, it act as a problem that impede the free flow of the lifestyle/resources of it's sufferers. All these impeding and shocking event or circumstances are rightly termed as "SUCKER PUNCH".
In my life, I have faced a lot of them. Based on this context, I will only talk about three most recent sucker punch in my life briefly.
- CAR ACCIDENT
From the picture above, I had a car accident. It have affected me seriously health-wise. I have been having difficulties and pains all around my body especially on my right shoulder region.
As being healthy helps the body to function properly, my case is different since this ugly experience. It have challenge my well-being and kick against everything that I engaged fully.
- FINANCIAL SET-BACK
A look at my shop will reveal the financial challenges as the picture above shows. My shop have been teeming with goods for sales. But a serious punch to my wallet have challenge my finances and have affected my sales and turn-over.
- POOR ELECTRICITY
Electronic gadgets like phones and laptops are needed to improve our lives. But for them to function properly, their batteries needs to be charged fully and as there's no regular power supply here. It is a sucker punch to my overall performance especially on steemit etc.
HOW IT ALL BEGIN
Everything have a start and the beginning of these sucker punch changed my lifestyle and affect my abilities negatives. Let's talk about how they all started.
- Car Accident
On JUNE 28th, 2021, I had a drastic car accident on the freeway. I boarded a car with other passengers coming back from Umuahia to Aba, my town of residence. It was on the freeway that one of the car tyres bursted. It was difficult for the Driver to control the high Speedy car resulting in the somersaulting of the car with a serious injuries to the passengers and car bodies.
When we were lifted out of the car by the passerbys and on-lookers, they arranged to get us to the hospital. On getting to the hospital, Doctor in charge insisted on our payment of their emergency fee before being attended to. The emergency/hospital services in this country is on mess that's why even the president is always on sick leave to other countries of the world to be taken care of medically.
- FINANCIAL SET-BACK
On MAY 24th, 2021, I noticed a change in my account book. I was suffering from my losses. Goods are costly at purchased while the sales was poor and cheaper. This is a big blow to my capital.
There are many competitors facing me from all angles. With a lot of goods at their disposal, more goods/supplies with few buyers. The economic operation became very low price. The decline of the price drastically affect my capital and my abilities to restock my shop again.
- POOR ELECTRICITY
Since January 15th, 2021. The only electric transformer that is servicing our whole circuit bursted with fire.
The people in charge of the electricity in our region visited our site, investigate the circuit and found out that the transformer is overloaded and the carrying capacity of this equipment have been exceedingly stretched.
FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS CHALLENGE
- CAR ACCIDENT
Since JUNE 28th, 2021 till now. I have been plagued seriously. My health have never been the same. It has affected me badly.
- Financial SET-BACK
Since MAY 24th, 2021 to now, my finances have been bankrupted. I don't have much financially to power any of my endeavors. The picture of my shop above is very recent as it's today to show the current status of my financial standing.
- POOR ELECTRICITY
Since January 15th, 2021 till now, the electricity supplies status of my area is very poor. We had never enjoy a day of electricity supplies since then.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFICULTIES , THIS PROBLEM CAUSED YOU/FAMILY
The accident affects me seriously. I have a shoulder fracture According to what the CT.SCAN reading says. With a fractured right shoulder, I hardly lift my right hand, I can't sleep comfortably and don't have proper muscle coordinations which have affected my well-being. With serious pains, I'm writing this post now and do any other things of life. My family members have been affected too since the quota in the family have been shared by themselves. They are coping with this ugly situation and have been affected too.
As my finances are so bad, my shop have never been stocked and the sales are very low since I don't have what customers really want. This situation have been an emotional turmoils to me.
My phone are hardly charged. It has affected my technological abilities to explore a lot of items online including the various contests on the steemit. My blogging experience is very poor. Everyone in my region/Africa will really understand this situation better
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLVE/COPE WITH IT
As the picture above shows that I have been on drugs since then. They started with stitching of my bruises. The application of drugs to stop bleeding correctly. The healing process of the bruising parts was influenced by the visitation of my nurse and treatment melted out. I have been visiting the orthopedic doctor for the fractures and I'm doing very good.
I have been sourcing for funds to raise my capital again. I have applied for loans in various financial institutions for capitalization of my shop. Any help received will be appreciated.
I bought a new phone with long lasting battery capabilities.
This new phone is superb and have been very helpful to explore every possibilities online.
