I recently received a letter stating that I have been blocked from future registration from your college and dismissal from the University due to my performance in that I the academic year 2016-2017. This letter is written with the hope that I can persuasive you and the members of the academic community that I am deserving of a second chance. Let me be straight forward. All blame remains with one but I would nevertheless like to point out some circumstances that were unfortunately. I heard of saying that went by, “Life comes at you fast!” I can say that I experience this for a whole year.

There were no bones broken but I could not get an MRI right then, because my right knee was too swollen still. When I was in the waiting room all I was thinking about was, “How am I going to pay for this visit, I don’t have insurance or medicate at all?” I did not have a primary doctor or the money to afford any of this. The next day I went to Buetel to order my medicine since it would have been cheaper there. Luckily, there was a specialist there to see what happened to my knee, he guess that I tore my ACL but still could not tell because my knee is still swollen. When I was able to get an MRI, my results was a complete torn ACL and meniscus. This news was devastating to me because ACL and meniscus injuries are the worst to get. How was I going to pay for surgery when I do not have insurance or the amount of money I needed? I could not work for the mean time since I was not able to walk and my mom was having a hard time finding insurance. Buetel tried helping me, but I needed a primary doctor to refer me to a knee specialist to see when I was going to get surgery. I was told that without insurance or money I could not get the help I need for my knee. I did attend physical therapy at Buetel to get my knee to bend, to be straight, and so I can be able to walk right. Attending therapy did help for the most part but it started to add up on the bills in my student account that I

  • All About the ACL

    In November of 2010, I was playing basketball in the fifth game of my senior season. It was just like any other game. However, I would soon find out otherwise. It was late in the game; I drove into the lane and got fouled hard. I was knocked so off-balance that I speared the floor with my knee. As soon as my knee hit the floor I heard a “snap” that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Little did I know at the time, that would be the last shot of my high school basketball career. Not long after my injury, I consulted a doctor. After getting an x-ray and an MRI, the doctor informed me that I had completely torn my ACL and would need to have surgery. An ACL tear can be a very devastating injury. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four major ligaments within the knee. The ACL is one of the most commonly injured ligaments, injured by an estimated 200,000 patients each year. Of the 200,000 annual ACL injuries, surgery is performed in approximately 100,000 cases. There are many types of reconstructive surgery on the ACL. However, there is an alternative to surgery in the form of physical therapy.

  • ACL Injuries in Athletes

    1190 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) attaches the femur, which is the thighbone, and the tibia, which is the shin, together (northstar). A torn ACL is one of the most excruciating experiences in an athlete’s life. It is the first thing that comes to mind when they hurt their knee on the field; for many it is their greatest fear. A torn ACL can sometimes mean the end of an athlete’s career. It can mean losing the chance to get that scholarship for young athletes, and it can also mean the end of those million dollar paychecks for those who have gone professional. A torn ACL can result in numerous surgeries, months of vigorous exercise and rehabilitation, and a sufficient amount of pain. It requires complete patience, for pushing too hard can result in further, more painful injury. Even after all that, an athlete is not guaranteed he or she will ever be able to play sports again.

  • Why I Want To Be An Occupational Therapist Essay

    Before I was born, my grandfather was involved in numerous surgeries on his left knee to fix torn ligaments as a result of his line of work. As time went on, the physical effort took a toll on his good knee, prompting additional surgeries. At the time, doctors suggested a bone or joint fusion surgery to help with the type of injury he sustained. It was a permanent procedure ultimately resulting in the inability to bend at the joint and making his left leg two inches shorter than his right. Everyday tasks that I had taken for granted, such as driving a car, using the restroom, and even standing for long periods of time became impediments to daily living. Having heard about this traumatic and chronic experience, it remained in the back of my mind for some time. It was not until I was 13 years old when I had my first encounter with an occupational therapist during an appointment that I

I felt that I let down not only myself, but also my family who hoped for me to earn a bachelor degree from such a great school as Ohio State. There were several reasons that led me to difficulty and lose concentrate in studied. During the time I studied at Ohio State, my older sister who I lived with received the bad news about losing her teaching assistance job at Ohio State. She was the only one who helped support me at that time. My sister was the one who pays rent and most of utility bills. I did help her pay some of the bills and groceries as I only worked minimum part-time. Since my sister was not able to continue her teaching position at that time, I help pay most of the bills included the rent. I certainly did not prepare for the situation and ended up have to start working more so I can help out my sister pays the bills. At the same time, my mother who lives in Thailand also suffered from the breast cancer which cost my parents a lot of money for the surgery and medical bills. My parents were in no place to help me or my sister with living costs and expenses here in the United States. Since my sister had only a student visa, and was not a U.S. citizen, I was the only one that could legally work and pay most of the rent and other bills. Working long hours did affect me psychically and emotionally. I lose both of my free time and study times. As I did not plan for the situation included poor time management, I ended up work more and spend less time studied than I should. I know that I struggled to keep up with classes and missed many classes. I did not think it through and thought that I could manage the situation on my own. I did not let anyone know about my situation or seek any help from any instructor or advisor. I ended up with poor academic performance and received bad grades which lead me to academic dismissal. I feel regretted and only wish that I could have made a better decision.
