Dislocating My Kneess
The event that I would have to say I experienced in my like that changed my outlook on life would have to be when I dislocated both of my knees last year a week and a day after New Year’s Day. The reason I choose this experience is because through hardships and stumbles God always has a plan and reason for it. Like Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV) says “11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” This is the verse I apply daily to my life. I dislocated both of my knees doing one of my greatest passions, dance. I was doing a standard turn called the ice skaters turn and when I put my legs together I blacked out. …show more content…
The time it took for me to get to the hospital for doctors to relocate my knees to their rightful place felt like an eternity but was only about an hour in a half. After that I had to do, and still do at my house, physical therapy and learn how to walk all over again without any braces, canes, crutches or a walker to support my knees and keep them from dislocating again. In this painful process I also developed RSD/CRSP, or Reflux Pain Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome/ Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which is when your nerves are hyper sensitive to touch and causes extreme pain. I also developed Bursitis, which is bursa inflammation or inflammation under the muscle that pushes against the bones and causes pain as my physical therapist explained it. I am in constant pain but when I think I can’t go any further or I want to give up I look to the Lord and keep faith because I know that God has a plan for doing this and He wants me to know that He carries me when I can’t go any more and teaches me

    For as long as can remember I have had problems with my knee. It all started back in middle school, when we were playing basketball in our math class. My teacher at the time, Mr. Siem, would play with us. On this particular day, we were on opposing teams and he was bringing down the ball. When I went to defend him, he never stopped and he ran into me. His knee landed on mine with all of his weight. I knew right away that something was wrong.…

    An event I've experienced that was life changing was when I obtained the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America. It was an affirmation of years of disciplined work and study to have such a prestigious honor bestowed upon me. In scouting, I developed various moral and ethical tenants that have shaped my foundation in life. Tenants like integrity, honor, reverence, faith in God, a man's role and his responsibility to his family, and a nearly innumerable quantity of experiences growing under the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America have molded me into who I am today in my very core of being. The realization of my dream to become an Eagle Scout took 11 years to obtain, so I'm no stranger to adversity or perseverance. To my memory,…

    I woke up maybe four hours later, I was still pretty groggy. My mom came in and gave me my medicine and told me that Friday which was in three days I had to go to physical therapy. I was dreading Friday, I didn't wanna go, I was super scared and nervous at the same time. Prior to my surgery, I went to P.T for a couple months to strengthen my knee because it was really weak from me not using it and being in a brace. When Friday rolled around I had to be there around eleven thirty. I still couldn't do much, and crutches were hard to use because I was really tired from being in pain, and laying in bed just doing…

    My sophomore year while playing in a football game, I tackled a player from the other team right before half-time. While I was making the tackle, I felt a pop in my knee. It wasn’t very painful because of the adrenaline in my system at the time but the next day the pain came. It felt like there was a rubber band getting caught on my knee and coming off almost every step I took. I just put this pain aside through part of basketball season until the pain was too much and I went to get a check up, then a MRI, then before i knew it I had to get surgery for a torn meniscus. This ended my basketball season. After surgery I went to my rehab physical therapist Dr. Marty in Centralia. He got my knee back in good working order after…

    Something difficult I have gone through that changed me. Although, in the beginning it was extremely difficult to cope, I believe this experience changed me for the better. It has shaped me into the person I am today. Being the oldest of three in a broken family has forced me to become a role model, and taught me to take on large responsibilities. I learned how to use my independence for the better of my siblings. I learned how to cope with difficult people, I learned how to put on a happy face, I learned how to leave my family life at home. I learned how to be happy with my friends and at school. I learned how to smile through the day, ultimately being content with my life. I gained the strength to look at the pros and not the cons. This unfortunate situation has caused me to become a more positive person. If I could give one piece of advice to…
