The Doctor's Diagnosis: Medial Cuneiform Fracture
Accidents usually happen in just a blink of time. Some misfortunes are even unexplainable but it all happens for a purpose. Every so often, it paves a room for lessons and realizations.
More than a month has passed when I had drowned myself in an ocean of tears due to an unexpected accident that has changed my life forever with a doctor's diagnosis that is a medial cuneiform fracture. I did not go directly to the hospital for really had the fear of any form of medical operation. After the accident was happened, soothing elements such as rest, ice, compress, and elevation were applied being a first aid treatment. At first, I only thought that I only got sprained, as expressed in my article titled, "I Got Sprain And I am In Deep Pain".
But I was just bearing the extreme, unbearable pain from within for I am really so afraid to go to the Doctor. A week before I was accident, my schoolmate way back in high school also had a fracture, exactly the same as mine, and she had undergone an operation. I was really afraid that I would took her path in the same way, so I just choose to have a home remedy, combined with extra doses of great faith, and strong belief.
Remembering the past, I had expressed a deep sorrow and despair through an article titled, "Just Let Me Weep With A Cry Of Despair". But I did not really know that I am not only having a sprain but a fracture. Accidents usually happen in just a blink of time. Some misfortunes are even unexplainable but it all happens for a purpose. Every so often, it paves a room for lessons and realizations. More than a month has passed when I had drowned myself in an ocean of tears due to an unexpected accident that has changed my life forever with a doctor's diagnosis that is a medial cuneiform fracture.
Doctor Khu said, "It is too late!".
Yesterday, I decided to go to the hospital for I can now walk by myself alone, and just to make sure, I would have to undergo examinations just to double check what had really happened to me. I was referred in the emergency room. A series of x-rays were done to my left leg. Ten minutes later, I was directed to Doctor Khu, an orthopedic surgery specialist for fractures, arthritis, low back pain, scoliosis, sports injuries and children orthopedics and entered on his clinic with a dialogue.
Doctor Khu: "Good morning!" (While reading on the x-ray results)
Me: "Good morning, Doctor Khu!"
Doctor Khu: "When did the accident happened?"
Me: "It happened more than a month, Doctor Khu. I decided to have a home remedy but I have taken medications."
Doctor Khu: "It is too late! But it was already done and we can do nothing about what had happened.
Me: Doc? (My tears almost fall in front of him and I am feeling worried.)
Doctor Khu: "Based on the x-ray result findings, you previously have a cracked bone at the medial cuneiform. It usually happens due to a stress reaction with axial rotational force on the midfoot that is accompanied by accidents."
He then added, "Yet you are very lucky!" Your bones healed and are not dislocated so I would just give you take home medications. What a miracle! How lucky are you that your bones healed, good thing that you are still young and there is a natural healing process without undergoing an operation on the fracture.
Me: "I am speechless, Doctor Khu. I do not know how to react but allow me to thank you. Thank you very much for I am saved by grace."
Doctor Khu showed me the results on the screen, and I had really seen the signs of crack on my medial cuneiform but I am really very happy that I am saved by grace and was very lucky enough that my medial cuneiform fracture was healed. Perhaps the home remedy coupled with my great faith and strong belief have saved me from an accident that could have changed my life story forever. According to Doctor Khu, a month ago, I had an injury through a medial cuneiform fracture due to a stress reaction with axial rotational force on the midfoot. But based on the diagnosis, I am very lucky enough to escape from a misfortune, the cracked bone is now a healed medial cuneiform fracture.
Have you ever experienced a fracture in your life? How did you handle it?
Since I was young, I had never experienced to be in an operation room due to an accident. But in a blink of time, an accident knocked on my dear as I have ever experienced a fracture which had brought an ocean of tears in my life. Never did I thought that it would really happen to me.
Remembering those days back then when I soaked myself in tears, I could still feel the agony that I have been experiencing but nobody ever knew that I am really struggling with my health condition, but I remained resilient, coupled with great faith and strong belief that there would always be miracles from above. And I was right, through a leap of faith, I was saved by grace.
You would never know how strong you are, until you would experience a toughest moment that could probably change your life forever. The accident had taught me the best lessons in life in a difficult way and even made me realized many things such as the following:
Life is very uncertain and that I need to adjust myself through the directions of the wind;
There are thousands of reasons to weep but there would always be a million reasons to be grateful for;
Everything happens for a purpose that would either make me weak or strong;
Seize every moment in life for every great soul only go around once; and
Life is a fracture but a paradise of healing.
Perhaps I have experienced a fracture in my life literally and figuratively, with the doctor's diagnosis: medial cuneiform fracture.
