I have been a little hard on my body this year. it seems I have been in my wheelchair forever. This year in football like mid-season,  I had this pain in my leg above my knee and I thought it was just strained or something, so I played on it for 3 weeks and 4 games. After my 4th game, I couldn’t stand the pain so I got an MRI appointment and the MRI didn’t tell us anything so it wasn't any ligaments or a muscle tear. So we took an X-ray and I found out that I had a fractured femur, which is the big bone in your thigh. I was so devastated and sad I couldn’t finish my season. So I was on crutches and a wheelchair for six weeks. I got my cast off on the 23rd of October, and I was looking forward to wrestling. 

Then on the 6th of November, after school, I went to go ride dirt bikes and I went to go hit a big jump and I cased the jump and crashed into the ground and I was in so much pain. When I got up from the crash I could barely walk. So since I could barely walk I didn’t think it was broken, and I just had sprained ankle I thought. So the next day I didn’t go to school because I was in so much pain, so I went into the ER and got an X-ray and found out that I broke my ankle. It is possible I get surgery because the break is going into my joint of my ankle. So I got a ct scan and am waiting for the results.
