hello. my name is james kelly, im 13. this is my first time on the forums, and already hurt myself
it was just the other day, i thought i wud show my friend a running jump. i did it...but the landing as a bit wrong, near the end of the jump i realised i was leaning back and when i hit the ground i hardly bounced, but heard a big crack.... i fell over and went to touch my knee and there was an unusual lump. i thought i had just dislocated it. my frind ran to my mum for help ( i wasnt that far from my house ) and she phoned for n ambulance. afeter quite a crowd had appeared we phoned our gp since he was now avilable. he arrived just as the ambulance did. i got given 10mg of morphine and 50mg of sumthin else, my stilts were ripped off and my jeans were cut up and i was off to hospital. after two bottles of n20 ( laughing gas ) and an x-ray we discovered i had a fracture on my tibia, only a few centimetres below my knee. after three days in hosipital i am now sitting at home, hardly able to move with a cast going from my ankle to the top of my thigh. no for 4-8 weeks of madening nothingness
EDIT: oh yeah, it was my first fall too
NOW WITH PHOTOS!
