My Accident Story

CKK CRASH!!!

I am learning to entertain my audience with a recount.

CKK OOFFF ARGHHHHHH. This story is about my first major accident, what was yours? It was the last Friday of the summer holidays. I was playing on my trampoline while my dad and sister were in the pool. I was bouncing really high, trying to do an amazing slam dunk. I went too close to the net and when I did the slam dunk and I got my toe caught in the net mid-jump! The really annoying thing was it was the trampoline companies fault because the net was faulty. I ended up falling with my toe still in the net so I twisted my knee but that was the least of what happened!

Since my dad just thought it was a twisted knee he gave me some ice and just said to rest it. When my mum got home she didn’t see my knee so she thought my sibling and I had been irritating each other and we were off avoiding each other. However when it was time to go out for dinner we decided to go to A&E first as I was still complaining. Arriving at the doctors it was minutes after 6, the doctor just checked for ligament damage. The doctor gave me crutches and said it would be fine so try to rest up and not put too much pressure on it during the week.

A week later my dad kept on nagging me because I still found it painful to put pressure on my knee. My dad decided to take me back to A&E because my knee was still sore. When we got there we told the doctor and he said to have a x-ray. We had to wait for ages but when I got the x-ray done it showed I had broken my knee. It was so bad I had to have surgery on it!

In the end I have learnt my lesson about going too close to the netting. I'm all good now and my knee is all better except for some clicks sometimes.
