Eulogy For Grandmother
Talking to my grandmother, she ask me did I remember the time I dislocated my elbow. I thought and thought but no, I did not. I told her I could only recall the pain when someone tried to touch my arm. Or to go back: It was my great grandparents 50th anniversary, I was three years old. All of my family members came together to celebrate their anniversary at the Golden Palace, a chinese restuarant. My cousin Erica was playing with me, I was running and laughing while she was chasing me. I was running so fast that when I tried to slow down, I tried to push off the wall so I would not run into the wall. I ended up running into the wall, dislocating my right elbow. I was crying and screaming, my cousin picked me up and took me to my grandmother. …show more content…
I did not want anybody to touch my arm. The next morning my grandmother tried to take off my pajamas, again I began to cry. She then knew that something was seriously wrong and took me to the emergency room. When we got there my grandmother and I went straight to back to talk with a physician. " what happened?" " My granddaughter ran into a wall at restuarant last night" "Are you sure that is what happened?" "Yes, that is what happened, she was playing with my niece and she ran into the wall!" The physician was not convinced that my grandmother explanation was true. He thought it was child abuse, my grandmother gave him a look of disbelief as if how could I hurt my grandchild. So the physician ended up examining my arm and sitting me back on my grandmother lap saying my elbow was disconnected. He snapped my elbow back in place, I let out a little yell. Everything was back to normal. After 15 years from the incident my grandmother and I still talk about about that day. She remembers everything that happened and still remind me of when and how I dislocated my elbow. But all I can recall is the pain from running into the

In the summer of 1995, I was 7 years old at that time,I was playing with my friends in the garden which was near my house. Suddenly, a friend of mine started fighting with a big guy. I didn’t know what happen, I was too young and so scared, the only thing I thought was to find his parents to go for help. So a girl and I decided to run to his home.

    There I was laying on the field, during the second half of my football game, tossing and turning as I held my right shoulder in agonizing pain. I looked up only to see the trainer looking down at me with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Repeatedly I tapped my shoulder as I was struggling to get the words out. He helped me up and walked me back to the sideline. I waited for what seemed like hours for the game to end. A few days later, I went to a local doctor to get an X-ray. The doctor told me that there was nothing wrong and that the pain should subside in a couple of days, and it did. Later in the season as I went in for a tackle, I felt my shoulder pop. Immediately I was in pain and thought to myself, “ It happened again.” This…

    We stepped out into the night and drove to the hospital. Once we got there, the nurse asked me a bunch of questions. From 1-10, 10 being the worst, how much does it hurt? How did this happen? Oh yeah, I thought. I never really thought out how this all happened. So I guess it went like this: I sat on the couch, about to watch a movie. When I sat down, I sat on a broken piece of plastic. Then, my elbow started bleeding really bad, but the pain was worse Finally, I ended up at the hospital. After all of the questions, the nurse took me into a small room with my brothers and my dad. The room had a chair, a sink, and worst of all, a tray full of needles. I hated needles. I’ve already experienced what felt like a knife in my elbow, I can’t handle a needle now, I thought. When the doctor came in, she told me I needed 5 stitches. Great, now I need stitches! This day couldn’t get any worse, I thought. First, she stuck about 12 needles in my elbow to numb it. With every single shot, I squeezed my eyes shut, gripped my dad’s hand, and inhaled sharply. Then, she took a black, plastic thread, and began sewing my elbow together. I still remember my pink and white striped shirt, and my brand new blue shorts that were covered with tiny drips of blood. I looked away the whole time the doctor was stitching up my elbow, but by the look on my dad’s face, it definitely wasn’t pretty. All I felt was the tugging on my arm. After what felt like an eternity, she finally made a few knots at the end of the stitch. My brother took a picture and showed me. Eww, it looks like spiders, I…

    I usually get asked about the three big scratches on my neck about five times a day so I remember the incident like if it was yesterday. The accident occurred when I was eleven. As a child when someone asked me what happened I enjoyed making up stories like I got into a fight with a bear or a tiger attacked me. As I explain the real story I tend to smile and laugh so I think about my accident positively instead of negatively. So what really happened? It was seven years ago, in the sun blazed summer I visited my…
