Adversity Essay

I woke up at 11 am feeling refreshed. I hadnt slept in since my family had started on our road trip to Canada. We were finall(a)y in Calgary and were leaving for home the next day-A good 22-hour drive. I got up quickly from my bed and jumped over my laptop charger. A disorienting head rush dead came upon me and I felt dizzy. I saw the stairs briefly and then it seemed like I was tumbling. When I could finally think again, I realized that my parents were in panic and I was surrounded by blood.Turned out, I fell right into some glass and as I would later find out, it had skitter an important tendon in my shin. I was rushed to the ER and got surgery to fix my tendon. I asked the doctor to take some pictures of my leg right onward I was sedated. After the surgery, a huge temporary cast was put on my leg and I was given crutches with which I could hobble around. Now came the 22-hours in a car with my injured leg. Luckily they werent as bad as I had thought they would be. Finally I was home. My friends visited me and were aghast at the surface of my cast and the pictures of my legThey thought I was just joking and wasnt really injured. I had to spend 6 weeks in my cast. Six grueling weeks during which all I did was watch movies and tv shows on my laptop. My whole summer passed me by and I couldnt do anything. My friends play basketball in the heat, thoroughly enjoying themselves charm I watched them wistfully. Time went by slowly but finally I got my cast off only to find out that my tendon was too swooning to walk on so I had to endure two weeks in a black boot. It was still summer and because my boot absorbed sunlight, my foot oft smelled and had heat sores on it.I almost preferred my cast to this hell. Eventually my boot came off too. I could finally walk I was sent to sextuplet weeks of physiotherapy where I found out that I probably wouldnt be running or jumping for another 6 months almost. Well, at to the lowest degree I didnt have to run miles for PE. I have only three more months now and I am optimistic. Since I cant run, I started working on my biceps and now I can show them off. Soon I will be running as fast as the wind and touching the sky with my perfect two legs. That day cannot come fast enough.
