Personal Narrative: My Collapse

When I was three years old I fell off my bike and broke my arm. Since then I have experienced numerous falls not all from falling off my bike. I think I may be considered a clumsy person but am still coordinated and good at sports. One time I led my softball team to the State Championships. We lost but it was a good game I threw a no-hitter and my Mom cried with happiness. I cried because the season ended. Anyway I fall a lot and lose my balance when in small or constricted areas one time I fell down an escalator at the mall and was rescued by a security officer. He called the ambulance and I ended up with a broken wrist. I have had a lot of broken bones but the worst one was when I fell from a tree and fractured my pelvis. That was
painful and took a long time to heal my family helped me a lot. Since I have gotten older I try to be more careful so not to fall and hurt myself but often still find myself upside down. I asked my doctor about it he said that I was okay but maybe my equilibrium was off. I plan to go in for some tests to determine if there is something serious going on but since this has been happening since I was a young girl I don’t think I am seriously ill. Always good to check though. I wonder how I will manage some days but I just keep working to improve my balance and steadiness.
