Elliptical Accident Of Knots In My Yo String By Jerry Spinelli
Elliptical Accident In the book “Knots in my Yo-Yo String” they were knots in Jerry Spinelli's yo-yo string. Jerry Spinelli was the author of “Knots in my Yo-Yo String.”When Jerry came home from school there were a lot of knots in his yo-yo. What that means is that the yo-yo string is his life and the knots in the yo-yo represent the problems in his life. He must be having problems at home because he said he came home to knots in his yo-yo string.
My knot took me some time to recover from. The knot that happened to me had to deal with my big bad elliptical. I was about eight years old when this happened. I was just playing around on our elliptical and suddenly my foot slipped off the pedals. My other foot was still going around though. Once my foot still on the elliptical mad a circle it ran over my other foot hard! Then I fell off the elliptical but my foot that got ran over was still in it. It felt like fire was burning on it! I pulled my foot out even though it hurt terribly bad. I was crying a lot and my mom came towards me and lifted me up and brought me up stairs where we had to clean all the blood off. Then she put me on the couch with a fluffy pillow under my foot. The she put a long roll or wrap in it to stop the bleeding. Where I cut it open was a big gap and I should have gotten stitches but I didn’t.

I had to ice a lot to help the swelling go down. I was just staring fourth grade basketball even though I was in third grade. They didn’t have enough players and needed some extra players, so I played. At the time I was still in dance which I absolutely hate now. It hurt extremely bad to walk and to put shoes on because it would rub on the gash. I had to word through it and ice it a lot and rest. Slowly but surely it started to get better and it didn’t hurt as much. In a couple of months I was all better and was healed. There is a big scar there now and if I got stitches it probably would be as

The nurse called my mother, and told her that I had to go to the hospital. Before my mother got to the school, although she was driving pretty fast, I got to look in the mirror.

    A central line is a soft, flexible tube (catheter) that is used to give medicine or nutrition through a person’s veins. The tip of the central line ends in a large vein (vena cava) just above the person’s heart. Medicine given through the central line is quickly mixed with blood because the blood flow within this large vein is so great. This dilutes the medicine so it is swiftly delivered throughout the body.…

    I have experienced physical therapy multiple times for injuries involving my foot. I have been in and out of a boot since I was in eighth grade. I was participating in recreational soccer and was attempting to run track, and one day I went and told my parents I was experiencing pain in my left foot. I was having trouble walking on my foot, so my parents took me to a doctor. The doctor did not know what was wrong and referred me to a specialist. The specialist put my foot in a plaster cast and told me to use crutches. I did not know how to properly use crutches, so I had my first experience in physical therapy learning how to use crutches. The therapist taught me the propper way to use crutches to go up and down the stairs. After the cast came off, I was back in physical therapy learning how to strengthen my foot, so I could return to participating in soccer. While in therapy, I was using modalities and strengthening exercises, so I would not have to return. Even though I was doing what I was taught in therapy, I was still experiencing pain in my foot. The specialist I was seeing referred me to another specialist because physical therapy and the course of treatment were not working. The specialist I was seeing found the problem in my foot when I was a sophomore, I had a pinched nerve that required surgery, and to follow up with more physical therapy. The physical therapy helped for a short amount of time. I was able to return to soccer and was also in physical therapy to help strengthen my foot when it was re-injured. I had partially ruptured my Achilles tendon when I returned to playing soccer and was still in physical therapy, so I had to stop therapy until my foot healed. Once it healed, I was back in therapy to help heal and strengthen my foot. I had to use exercises from past therapy to help strenghten my foot to return to normal activities. In the process, I ended up with Achilles tendonitis…

    My Scar Story

    As I reached the other side of the road, I was thankful I actually made it across alive. I looked up and saw neighbors outside laughing at me. Embarrassed I got back up and went on my way. I was doing pretty well until I felt unbalanced like I was going to fall. Thinking it was a brilliant idea, I grab onto a nearby fence. I grabbed the fence but my feet kept going and slammed my knees into the fence. I look down to see blood dripping down my leg. I thought to myself, “This is why I never did this.” I retired my roller blades, and took the walk of shame back to her house. The wound healed, but I will forever look at that scar on my knee and will remember the how terribly uncoordinated I really am.…
