Five months ago, I had the worst day of my life. While going to the terrace, a sudden strong wind blew a cloth that covered my eyes and I fell down from the second floor. I had no idea what happened. I was not able to move my right leg. My father came running and took me to the hospital. At the emergency ward, doctors asked to take an X-ray of my leg. The thigh bone was completely broken into two pieces. My father called our family doctor who is an orthopedic doctor. I was then admitted immediately.
The next day, the doctor came to visit us and planned my surgery. I was taken to an operation theatre and my surgery was completed. My parents never left me alone even for a moment from the time I was being taken to the hospital. Two days after the surgery, I was discharged from the hospital. I was called for a follow-up after 7 days for the dressing of the wound; it was very painful. After 15 days of surgery, my stitches were removed. I went for therapy for a complete one month. Still, I need to face another surgery after one month to remove the steel that was used to join my broken bone.
