I loved sports and I dreamed of being a star athlete in high school. However, something happened on one winter morning when I was playing a basketball game for my rural league team.
I was having a pretty good game. But then I remembered falling and screaming for help. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I looked at my leg and it seemed as if I broke it. I was taken to the hospital immediately in an ambulance and then was diagnosed with a dislocated patella (膝盖骨脱臼).
My patella was not put back into place for a few hours because the doctors needed to make sure nothing else was damaged. For a 16yearold boy, it was a lot to take in. I kept asking different questions, like “How does this heal?”“Will I need surgery?”. I headed home later with some medicine to relieve my pain and an appointment to see a doctor.
Through my doctor's visit, I learned that it was the way my own body was built that caused my patella to dislocate. A combination of things like the angles of my body, ligaments (韧带) that were too tight in some places and too loose in others, and the fact there was no groove (凹槽) for my patella to sit in. I needed a series of surgeries and 6month physical treatment to recover. I kept going and eventually I went back to playing sports with a brace (支架) on.
Today, I am feeling much better and both of my knees have remained healthy. I have to continue to keep them strong, though, in order for the surgeries to continue working properly. I can't say that my confidence is totally back because I will always have the fear of something happening, but I am ready to face difficulties or challenges in the future.
