Kia Ora everyone. In this post, I will be telling you a story about the worst injury I've ever had. I don't really have any injuries that are as bad as this one, because I barely get injured.
I found it hard to explain how my finger got injured, because it was like complicated and stuff.
I found it easy to tell the story.
I can't really say any more information about the story, so just read it if you wanna know more.
What was I thinking? Playing a tiring sport a day before a tournament?
I had a really bad injury, that made me lose a tournament. Mine happened this year. I never really had
any injuries as bad as this. It happened in like Term 1 or 2.
Me and my friends were playing basketball at school. It was when the Basketball Rams were coming
over to teach us about basketball and play it with us. We had a game that included teamwork.
But when It was my turn, it was a 3v3. I don’t really remember who I was with. We were winning, until
I was getting guarded by 2 people. I didn’t know who to pass to. I followed my instinct and passed it to
one of my teammates. But then someone else took and passed it back to me really fast, I didn’t see it
coming. So I tried to use my hand, but instead it slammed against my index finger. It was also standing
straight and firm. It then pushed my bone backwards into my joint. I then had to get benched off. I thought
it wasn’t really that bad.
After a few minutes, the session ended. It was nearly end of the day. We ran over to room 5, and took
our bags then walked off to the gate. When I normally jam your finger, it usually comes back to normal
after a few minutes. But I realised this jam was more serious than I thought. I told my friends what
happened. I tried to keep it a secret to my parents. Because they might get mad that I broke my
finger. They were gonna get mad because I had a taekwondo tournament the next day. Not really
but we had to go to Nelson the next day, and then the tournament is after that day.
When I got home, I waited for my parents to get home. I then told them what happened to my finger.
They didn’t know what to do. They thought it wasn’t serious.
Until the next day. We were getting ready to go to Nelson for the tournament. Before we went there,
my dad told me we had to go somewhere to get it healed and massaged. Since it was blood that was
stuck in my bone, it made it harder and painful to use my index finger. So when I had it healed, It felt
kinda better. It took a day to heal back to normal. But I still lost in the tournament. But having a broken
finger is worse. It still kinda feels weird till this day.
