My Emergency room experience!!!

Its been really long time since I blogged not because I am bogged with some thing but all because I wasn’t sure what to post and also from last two weeks I was suffering from wrist injury which is lot better now.

Actually I was trying to hook by taking back foot where I lost my control and fell on my wrist before I fell on wickets. It did pain but wasn’t very bad, as you all know I can’t sit idle and take rest moreover its bearable pain so I planed many things like going to temple and shopping etc so I rented a car and by the time I reach home it started paining like hell. I tried different sprays and pain killers which did not help. So immediately I went to Rex Emergency along with my friend expecting they would treat right away. Oh God! Never go to emergency it took 4 hours before I got a bed and finally they gave the same pain killers.

Meanwhile I was getting calls from my parents and normally if I don’t answer calls for a while my mom and dad gets worried and super tensed. But what can I do I called them after a day and told that I was with my friend who got injured and told whatever happened to me by taking my friends name. I was sorry but can’t help it though.

When I was in emergency whenever some one walks close to my bed I felt anticipated expecting some sort of treatment to kill my pain. A nurse comes with sweet voice which gave me a great hope but then she asks all my details and expects me to sign on the form. How the heck will I sign with injured wrist? I guess her common sense lost somewhere however she found it and left feeling sorry.

And doctor comes in and orders for X-rays before doing anything to hand which I understand is reasonable as he would not know how to treat without knowing. After 15 min, a lady comes and took me to a Lab where she tortured my wrist for the sake of getting X-rays in 4 orientations. And after an hour or so the report comes with no fracture but a Ligament tear near the wrist and hand joint. Then the doctor gives me a splint which was as big as Niagara Falls. I was almost 3 hours in emergency and when I returned home I still have the pain but felt little better may be I am used to it or pain killers finally started working.

I seriously should appreciate my friend who was with me all the way through this and also taking care of me most of the times as a family member.

I am following up with a doctor who suggested me to do wrist exercise every day and hope I recover fast and be active again. I really need to be complete fit as my parents come some time in August or September. I ordered badminton kit so I will slowly start playing badminton and tried to be fit.
