Accident Prone

Have you ever broken a bone?

By the grace of God, I survived!

Given how accident prone I am it is really a miracle. I sat this line to define my situation “I can trip on level ground”.

It started with a cracked ankle at 13. Post that I have cracked my other ankle, an elbow, a wrist, dislocated both my shoulders, crack on the head and multiple ligament and tendon injuries.

But you know what is the biggest shocker to this? I am not an athlete. I have had small injuries playing basketball and football but all broken bones were out of the field.

Its not that I am careless. I am very scared of getting hurt so I am careful. Despite this, I keep getting injured. Now I have given up on fighting my situation. I deal with the injury rather than being fearful of getting injured.

The enjoyed the extra attention I got when I was in a cast but taking a bath with the cast on was super annoying. The worst is when it starts itching in the cast. But when the cast comes of its literally like a weight has lifted off me.

I think at one point of time my doctor saw my name and came into the emergency room asking, “What did you break this time?”
