How I broke my Leg!!

in #takebacktuesday7 years ago

On the 2nd of September... I broke my leg, I have decided to repost this post because I thought that a bunch of you will enjoy it!!

So​ ​I​ ​broke​ ​my​ ​leg​ ​2​ ​days​ ​ago,​ ​wasn't really​ ​fun​ ​if​ ​you​ ​ask​ ​me…​ ​I​ ​am​ ​in​ ​so​ ​much​ ​pain​ ​because​ ​of​ ​it,​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​me​ ​writing this​ ​is​ ​to​ ​help​ ​others​ ​with​ ​similar​ ​injuries​ ​get​ ​through​ ​it​ ​without​ ​making​ ​the​ ​mistakes​ ​I​ ​made.

So​ ​the​ ​day​ ​I​ ​broke​ ​my​ ​leg…​ ​I​ ​broke​ ​my​ ​leg​ ​at​ ​exactly​ ​3pm​ ​while​ ​jumping​ ​over​ ​a​ ​wall,​ ​simple,​ ​I was​ ​then​ ​taken​ ​to​ ​hospital​ ​and​ ​got​ ​all​ ​bandaged​ ​up​ ​and​ ​went​ ​for​ ​x-rays,​ ​the​ ​x-rays​ ​didn't​ ​turn out​ ​to​ ​well​ ​as​ ​they​ ​found​ ​out​ ​that​ ​I​ ​broke​ ​both​ ​my​ ​Tibia​ ​and​ ​my​ ​Fibula,​ ​which​ ​also​ ​means​ ​that​ ​I needed​ ​an​ ​Operation….​ ​Fun.

The​ ​next​ ​day​ ​at​ ​10am​ ​I​ ​went​ ​in​ ​for​ ​surgery,​ ​my​ ​surgery​ ​ended​ ​at​ ​about​ ​11:30am,​ ​longer​ ​than​ ​I expected​ ​but​ ​then​ ​the​ ​real​ ​pain​ ​train​ ​began,​ ​I​ ​had​ ​friends​ ​and​ family​ ​also​ ​visit​ ​that​ ​day​ ​which helps​ ​with​ ​the​ ​pain​ ​surprisingly.

So​ ​Today,​ ​Today​ ​I​ ​was​ ​let​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Hospital,​ ​but​ ​first​ ​they​ ​had​ ​to​ ​teach​ ​me​ ​how​ ​to​ ​do​ ​certain things​ ​like​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bathroom​ ​and​ ​walk​ ​around​ ​on​ ​crutches,​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​I​ learned​ ​how​ ​to​ ​do that,​ ​I​ ​could​ ​go​ ​home,​ ​so​ ​here​ ​I​ ​am,​ ​at​ ​home​ ​on​ ​my​ ​bed​ ​with​ ​my​ ​leg​ ​elevated​ ​to​ ​relieve​ ​my​ ​leg from​ ​any​ ​type​ ​of​ ​stress,​ ​one​ ​last​ ​thing​ ​I​ ​want​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​about,​ ​washing​ ​up,​ ​probably​ ​the​ ​most difficult​ ​thing​ ​of​ ​all​ ​to​​do​ ​since​ ​you​ ​can't​ ​get​ ​the​ ​cast​ ​wet,​ ​so​ ​we​ ​folded​ ​up​ ​a​ ​towel​ ​so​ ​that​ ​my​ ​leg could​ ​hang​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​bath​ ​then​ ​my​ ​kind​ ​and​ ​loving​ ​mother​ ​bathed​ ​me​ ​up.

So​ ​I​ ​hope​ ​this​ ​helps​ ​someone​ ​out​ ​with​ ​a​ ​similar​ ​problem,​ ​I​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​ask​ ​a​ ​huge​ ​favor, please​ ​resteem​ ​this​ ​post​ ​and​ ​upvote​ ​it,​ ​this​ ​unfortunate​ ​trip​ ​has​ ​costed​ ​quite​ a lot​ ​and​ ​the​ ​more help​ ​and​ ​advice​ ​we​ ​can​ ​get​ ​the​ ​better,​ ​follow​ ​me​ for all the followups as well!!!


And this is about how I broke it XD XD XD


SO.... Let's talk about the day I broke my leg, we were doing parkour, problem 1, parkour, and we were learning new tricks, obviously, we weren't to good at them…

So at the time we were being chased by these thieves and my cousin shouts, “We have to go, now!”, so we start climbing and jumping over everything, we had no idea why we were being chased, we just knew it wasn't going to end well, especially since we don’t know what or who was chasing us.

As we were running we learned new tricks, and teased these guys, because why not, we had to clear a gap maybe 5 meters long, my cousin went first, he jumped and did a backflip to the other side, while landing he looked for a place to hide from the bad guys.

Now it was my turn, I always have to do something better than him so I ran, and jumped, I did a double backflip and Upvoted a good friend of mynes post while I was in mid air, I landed and broke a hole in the surface we landed on, my leg was stuck and the only option I had was to amputate my leg.

Now Obviously this wasn't what really happened, but this is what I can tell my kids, I actually just did a handspring over a wall about 1,5m high and landed funny, but that doesn't sound nearly as awesome as the way I explained it.

Hahahaha. The first version is the South african version. Hope the full recovery goes well.

I am glad to say that after the past 6 months, I have fully recovered and I can now do anything again!! :)

Well, you look a lot better now @numbnut68. All healed up ready for the next fracture I suppose! Nice post mate! Followed and upvoted.
