OK THIS YOU GOTTA HEAR!
It was the 18th os september 1998.
It was the eve of the big showdown between the Doggies and Crows, and I was getting excited. It wouldve been about 5:30pm on the Friday, 2 hours before the Kangaroos and Melbourne game got underway. So I was bored, and decided to play AFL on the trampoline. I was having so much fun that I didnt want to stop playing AFL by throwing the ball up, and taking screamers in the air. I then started to play some Rugby after 15 minutes, as I was getting tired of marking. So I was throwing the ball up, catching it in mid air, and slaming the ball down for a try on the springs. After doing this for 5 minutes the ball fell off the trampoline, so I decided to jump off and get it.
I was wearing socks at the time, so that made it slippery. I jumped off the trampoline and landing in the garden, to get the ball. As I landing in the garden, I thought it was kool, landing so softly onto bark and grass. So I decided to deliberetly throw the ball into the garden again so I can get the ball.
BAD MISTAKE, VERY BAD MISTAKE.
As I was about to jump off the trampoline, I slipped as my socks were slippery. I then went sideways, and fell on a pointy rock, landing with all my preasure on my left arm.
For 2 seconds after landing on the rock It went all blury, but I didnt seem to notice anything bad. I then looked at my left arm, and I went all dizzy, and noticed something was killing me. After I stopped getting a blury vision, I noticed my arm was completely out of place, and looked like a half pipe.
The pain was killing me, and I ran inside to get my mum, and she almost fainted.
What had actually happened, is I had broken the two major bones in my arm, with one of them pertruding through my arm.
Blood was pooring out a far bit, and 20 minutes later I was in the Werribee hospital. In their I got Teatnus shot, and they put me on morphine. They pain was so bad I felt like crying, but I just couldnt do that, I couldnt act like a Baby!
From the Werribee hospital, I was then ambulanced to the childrens hospital, where I had surgery and stayed in the hospital whilst listening to the Bulldogs get thumped by the Crows
