SNAP! One day I went on the worst strawberry picking trip EVER.
On the day before my adventurous trip, my mom said,”Let’s go strawberry picking.” My dad wasn’t going and my parents didn’t give me the option to stay home. Ugh!
The next day, once we got to the strawberry field my grandma (who had met us there because, my mom told her we were going strawberry picking) said,” let’s go to the back of the field where nobody has picked yet. On the way there I tripped over myself and fell on my leg. It was excruciatingly painful. My mom carried me back to the car ,let me sit in the front ,and prop my feet on the hard uncomfortable dashboard. I sat there for at least twenty minutes while my mom texted my grandma about what had happened.
After a little while my mom took me to a doctor’s office and they x-rayed my leg. It turned

After that, I would scoot to the living room and watch tv or play games. Then, I’d eat lunch and then dinner, scoot back up the stairs, hop into bed and sleep.This went on for two months.
Finally, the day had came, I was going to the doctor’s office to get my cast switched for a waterproof cast. I would finally see my leg again after two months. I was so excited!
When they were taking it off they had to use a saw. It tickled against my skin. They put my new cast on I now didn't have to put a plastic bag over my leg to take a shower.
After two days, we went to a pool party. I still couldn't swim even without my cast so, I didn't get in the pool. I was sad. My mom said that she would get anything from the food tables though so, I didn't have to get up from the comfortable beach chair I sitting in.
After one more month of scooting around. I got my cast off. I was so happy! I finally could walk, jump, and ride my bike!
All I had to do was persist through it. This is important because, if nobody persists nothing will get done. Maybe everyone reading this should persist
In grade 2 on the weekend I went to my friends house for a sleepover and we started playing with his little brother. We played a few games and nothing went wrong. Then we played a game where we were running away from his brother and he had to catch us. So we ran upstairs and into his room. We covered the door so he couldn’t get in, but eventually we let him in and he couldn’t get my friend so he went for me. When he finally got me he grabbed my legs and I fell and my head hit the corner of his bed and I was bleeding and screaming like crazy. So I ran down the stairs screaming my bloody head off. So hi mom drove me to the hospital and gave me ice: for my head. When we got the the hospital I was so scared I wasn’t even
While working, Alex Bennett slipped and fell onto a lumber saw, severing his ankle joint. After cleaning and stitching his hanging foot to his leg, Myra and Alex traveled 60 miles to the doctor in Bonne Bay while Myra was pregnant. Due to her efforts, amputation was avoided.

Luckily, I found other ways to make the most of not being able to go anywhere without crutches and a brace. I enrolled in two classes and spent the summer working on them, but I still felt like I could do more with my free time. I decided to co-coach two Parks and Recreation soccer teams with my father, one for my youngest brother and a second for my two other siblings. As the summer progressed my physical therapy allowed me to walk and bike so I started going to cross country preseason practices with my bike.
I had to wear my cast for what seemed an elongated time. I could not take my cast off until my bones were fully healed from the surgery. This took about a total
My dad explained to me that my femur was broken and that I have to wear a cast until it heals. But something was not right in my leg, I felt it, it still hurt like it was out of place. My dad took me to the doctor and told him that the surgery that was done to me was not right, the bones didn’t connect to each other. They had to perform two more surgeries on my leg to make it right. One surgery to take the bone out from where it was and other one right way to connect it and to let it heal
I wasn’t afraid to go see the Doctor, because I thought I knew what was wrong. I was told it would only take up to four weeks to heal. Dr. Ellis told me the same thing that Ozzy did, but I got an x-ray first, just to make sure there were no fractures or broken bones.
Apple Valley as a whole is a great place to settle down and live, but not every town can be completely perfect, something is always bound to happen. Petty theft, Car thefts, and vandalism are some downsides to this town. Sadly, all towns and cities have to deal with these kinds of people that do stuff to try and downgrade these wonderful places.
A few months later my dad received a call saying that my Grandma was in the hospital. She had been forgetting to take her medicine and she had attacked my Grandpa. She did not hurt him though. I never thought that, it would ever happen. We went to visit her a couple weeks later. She was so embarrassed that she was in the hospital for that. Finally, after about a month, she came home happier than ever.
A nurse with brunette hair asked me to get in a wheelchair; she rushed me to the back because she noticed my wrist turning blue and purple. A RN took me to x-ray
I was told about a new innovative surgery that would cut the recovery time in half and give me the chance to play football, so I went for it. The recovery time depended almost solely on therapy in this case. Therapy was tough, but I had a goal in mind so I took the challenges to the next level. I was determined to push myself to the limit in order to get better, whether it was with the physical trainer or by myself at home. I did anything and everything it took. I grew stronger in the process, not just physically, but
We were interrupted by a phone call from my dad. My mom was still joking and in a silly mood when she started talking to my dad. Suddenly the conversation turned from joking to dead silence and my mom started crying. She tearfully asked, "Is she ok? Was she alone?" I was thinking my sister went riding and fell off her horse or that something had happened to my grandma.

A family friend, Rose Widmer, came over as my mom and dad were getting ready to leave. She would be staying with us because it looked like they would not be coming home that night. As Kelly and I were eating our supper, my mom came into the kitchen and sat down beside me. She explained to us that our dad was very sick, and that he was having trouble with his brain. She used the term "brain abscess." She said that this is what the doctors speculated was wrong with him, but they needed to go to Fort Wayne to take precautions.
Years ago I had the most terrifying, shocking day of my life. I had between seven or eight years when this happened. The day before the accident, all my family was at my grandfather’s house. We all were eating the food my mother and my aunts brought, telling jokes at the dinner table. Meanwhile, I was playing with my cousins in the backyard. Everyone was enjoying the family meeting. As the time passed by and everyone was about to go home, my mother suggested the idea that we all should go at my grandparent’s ranch next day, since everyone was in town we all could have the chance to go. Everyone liked the idea. It was the perfect time to go because it was a weekend. As they all agreed to go, they begun to decide who bring what to the gathering. Who would have thought that thanks to that suggestion, I would lead me to the hospital the day of the reunion.
Oh my God! TJ!“ It was just my mom.She was crying and calling my name again and again.I was so embarrassed and disappointed of my self.I had let her down. After, two of the EMT guys put us on an ambulance. Finally,we made our way to the hospital. My friend john and me were sent in palo alto medical center. It took us about fifteen minute to get there. My friend john was alright. He had a couple of stitches in his head and his arm. He got relieved after a couple of tests but, I was severely injured. I was lying on a hospital bed and thinking what I would have done in the past. Cause this terrible accident happened to me. I was sent to el camino hospital, where I went to the operation theater for my hipbones surgery.The doctor told me after surgery that my hipbones was fractured the reason they had to put a plate in hipbones to stay together.Although, my left arm was also fractured the reason I could not feel my arm. After surgery, they took me to the other room and gave me a couple of injections. Momentarily, I went to sleep. I woke up in the next day and thinking hopefully it was just a dream,but it’s not. I opened my eyes and saw a couple of relative looking me like a stranger. My dad came over my bed and gave me a hug and I literally started crying after thinking about the accident. I could not believe after a massive car accident I was still alive. Doctors kept in hospital couple of
