On April 20th, 2014 I wrecked my four wheeler. I
thought it was a good idea to do doughnuts on the dry dirt. Apparently I was
wrong. I was completing my last doughnut, and I suddenly realized that I had
messed up. I was going way too fast on the dirt and flew off and flipped the
four wheeler in the process. Three months later, on July 7th, I had
surgery because I had torn my ACL and meniscus. After my surgery for the first
week, I lost 12 pounds because I was laid up in bed the whole time and didn’t
eat very much. That weekend I had a 103 degree fever and had to go to the
emergency room. I was very dizzy and sweating but cold and I had to crutch my
way to the hospital door but I almost passed out so a lady came running out
with a wheelchair for me. Turns out I had a severe UTI and the surgery made it
noticeable. After a day in the hospital I returned home and stayed in bed for
another week or so. I couldn’t get in and out of the shower by myself and I
couldn’t carry anything. I felt useless. Finally I got tired of it, and I found
a way to get in and out of the shower without my mom’s help. Also, I would
scoot my plate of food down the hallway with my good foot all the way to my room
so I didn’t have to ask for help. Progressively I got better and got to where I
could stand up on my foot and walk a little bit more. I didn’t have to use a
shower chair any longer and I could carry my own food with my hands at last. I
think that I learned my lesson about doing doughnuts on the dry dirt, or at
all. Never again will I be so stupid. I probably won’t even drive as fast if I
do it again.
I was very dizzy and sweating but cold and I had to crutch
my way to the hospital door but I almost passed out so a lady came running out
with a wheelchair for me.
Since I had almost passed out while crutching to the door,
this random woman came outside with a wheelchair for me to sit in so that I
wouldn’t have to crutch any longer. So I got into the waiting room and I was freezing
cold but I was sweating at the same time so I was so confused at what was
happening in my life and I was scared and thought I was going to dry. But I
didn’t die because I am here writing this right now obviously. So that waiting
room time was for like an hour and a half then I finally went back and they had
to give me an I.V. which hurt like crazy. And I had to have 3 full bags of
liquid antibiotics in my I.V. I got there around 9 at night and left the next
day around 2 in the afternoon. So I guess I wasn’t there for a full day, just
17 hours. Which felt like it was so much longer because I was there by myself
from 3 am until 22pm. My mom was the only one that went with me. I guess nobody
else cared, just kidding I don’t even care. But they told me that I was also
dehydrated with a UTI so I needed to go home and drink like a gallon of water
each day. I still don’t do that so I could possibly go back into the hospital.
