Let's just say that I hate HOSPITALS!!!! I don't remember this picture being taken. Drugs. Kids don't do them. well this was after the accident.
My roommates and I were planning going on a hike behind hauula.
it was about dusk. it was getting dark so we were in a hurry. Anna
was on the back of the scooter with me. and we started up this paved
road and all of a sudden we hit some mud and the Anna flew off and got
right back up. She is super women. me on the other hand. i haven't
walked since that dreadful night. I was somehow throw under the
scooter and my knee hyper extended and broke/ so I drug myself from
being mangled up from under and around the scooter. i put my
dislocated knee back in place(gross, I know I was there)and held my
knee in place as Anna called the ambulance. We weren't suppose to be
on our scooters past this gate that we went around and the ambulance
couldn't get passed the gate anyway so I Jessica and Lacey picked me
up and put me on Jesse's scoot and we slowly went to the gate were the
ambulance came to get me. They took me to Kahuku and if i was
anywhere close to death I would Have died that night in that hospital.
I have no faith in that hospital. I was there for 5 hours. it took
them 4 hours to clean the mud off my face and my leg. my face was all
scraped up but it is healed now so don't worry I am beautiful again.
Kahuku was about to send me home with a brace on my leg and then Chas
was like " Hey Doctor, her leg isn't straight. Something isn't right.
So then the doctor called a doctor in town and sent me to kaiser. and
I was in that hospital for about 3 days while they did test on me and
stuff. My knee was the size of a watermelon. Well come to find out
I broke the top of my tibia and tore 3 of the 4 ligaments in my knee.
I had to wait a 10 days to have surgery for the swelling to go down.
On Wed I had my first surgery on the bone. They screwed a cadaver
bone onto my broken bone and reconnected one of the ligaments. I
have to wait for the bone to get fixed before I can get the other
ligaments fixed. Surgery went fine except for the shot they gave me
to numb my leg for a few hours didn't work so I woke up in
excruciating pain. I am very thankful for morphine.love the stuff. and
i have a firm testimony of it. they gave me mine own little special
button that i could push when i needed it. I was in the hospital for
4 days and have since been at home recovering. I can't put on
pressure on my leg and I walk around with crutches but i can't go to
far yet. I've watched a lot of movies and stuff.
I've been doing a lot of thinking since it happened. Alot of thinking
Why is this happening? Why me? I have such a great life right
now, a great class that I love to teach, I'm having fun in life. I
don't need to be depressed and in bed all day. but I had a
blessing the night before I went into surgery and it said that
Heavenly Father was aware of my confusion and he knew that I had a lot
of questions but this is a road that i have to go down and something
good will come out of it. I have no clue what that will be but just
the fact that the blessing said that I needed to go down this road and
there was no other way boosted my testimony that Heavenly Father loves
me,. and that is what the gospel is really about. (Feeling the love
from Heavenly Father) This is a hard road but I am going to make it.
I have felt a lot of love from others from prayers. Prayers feel good.
