On the 25th of August 2007, an incident occurred, I dislocated my right hand, how it happened,
I woke up that morning after the morning prayers and devotion I did some home work, I ate and went out to play, it was on a holiday, as kid then during holidays we normally go for summer lesson and close as early as 12:00pm noon, so that awful day, I and my friend in the evening time were playing in my house compound, my neighbor Jeffrey was in the compound reading, uncle okopi was in the compound too but he was doing something different before he later came to the door that has a glass design to check him self out, I and marvelous my friend was playing close to the door that had a glass design,
Suddenly uncle okopi lifter marvelous to look at his self on the mirror and brought him down, as a kid anything like that makes us happy,as soon as he brought marvelous down I cried that he should lift me up, all I wanted do was to look at my self in the mirror, he then took my hands and he lifter me up, I sat down on his neck and I looked at me self on the mirror… all of a sudden his dad, uncle okopi father called for him,
In a haste to answer his dad he removed me from his neck and let me down, on coming down I landed with my right elbow on the floor, I laughed, I dusted my body, I stretch my arm to shake marvelous, I realized my bone was not in place it moved from the normal joint, I was not feeling the pain at first, but I was in a shock, then I brought my arm back and I did stretched it again, the bone was still not in place, then I scream in pidgin “my hand done break”( I have broken my arm) marvelous started laughing, Jeffery also started laughing, that moment I didn’t know what to, uncle okopi quickly came back he try arranging the hand but to no avail, I was quickly rushed to local orthopedist
He checked the hand and pressed it, and use some wood and bandage to tie it.
Before this happened I had dreams of becoming an army officer, because of that incident all hope of getting or becoming an officer was lost,
My parent took me to several local orthopedist, before I later went to the hospital I did x-ray which shows point at which the bone crossed each other, I was later placed on medical exercise which was slated for two times in week,
As at that time, I was not using my right arm, I started using my left hand in doing most things,
It Almost turned me to a lefter
Although I that time anything I was doing it was my left arm I was using
But as time went by, Every thing became normal
The signs are still there that I dislocated my right arm
My army dream was killed
But I still thank God for live…
