Accidentzzz

For the past 4 days, I was in Johor Baru, Malaysia, staying over at my uncle's house. Back there, 2 days ago, my cousins and I were playing soccer at about 11.30 p.m. That was when tragedy struck. I was running after the ball so as to pass it over to one of my teammates. I was running and the road was wet and slippery. Then, I slipped over and fell face first onto the ground. My jeans tore and there was a hole in it. I only thought about the wound that was on my leg upon falling down. But then, I realised there was another source of pain; my wrist. It seems that upon falling, I broke my fall on my hand instead of my palm and pain just shot through my hand. I was in so much pain. As I was wearing my watch, I could'nt really see what had happened to my wrist. But upon reaching the house and removing my watch, I saw that there was a slight dent at where my hand and my arm seemed to have been connected a while ago. I could also feel the throbbing on my at my wrist and there seemed to be a slight swelling there.

Upon showing my mother and my other relatives, they were all wondering what had happened to by left arm. Thank God, it was my left arm and not my right. But it still hurt badly all the same. My relatives then concluded that it wasn't broken or fractured, as I was still able to move my fingers and I didn't scream my heart out upon the news of the injury. 2 days has passed, and my wrist feels much better, although it still hurts and it is still in the same awkward position. Ican't move my wrist independently though, because whenever I move my wrist, my elbow seems to follow. I can also do simple tasks such as pressing and typing, but I can't carry or do anything else with my hand. Hopefully, my wrist will heal soon, atleast by the time school reopens. Mandatory stuff such as bathing or using the toilet has also become such a big problem.
