Personal Narrative: Growing Up With Broken Bone
There were some sad days for me when I was growing up. Because I was born with a handicap that's what they called it in my day. I was born with a club foot, which meant the bone in my right leg was broken during the time my mother carried me. And the doctors had to do surgery on me when I was 10 months old. I was told that the doctors had to fix the broken bone in my right leg. I still have the scar. As I begin to walk, I walked on my toes. I walked this way until the second surgery when I was about 6 or 7 years old. This started the process to correct my right foot. The surgery was successful. I was able to put my foot down a little bit more since birth. I was still able to go outside and play.
By the third surgery, I was 9 years old. I

    In 1991, my brother was born with Meconium Aspiration which is the swallowing of his own bowel movement. As a result, he was in a vegetative state at the infancy stage and suffered severe intellectual and developmental delays. With the appropriate referrals to (a) neonatal care hospitals, (b) behavioral intervention specialists, (c) social workers, (d) speech language pathologist, and (e) occupational and physical therapist, he made a full recovery. Notwithstanding the past medical mistakes, the early interventions helped him to reach developmental milestones at a latent age. Moreover, the use of early interventions led him to the normal adaptation to his interpersonal, social, economic, and political environments.…

    My occupation has evolved into what you know today as chiropractic or osteopathy. When I first started practicing, we called it bonesetting. Bonesetting is the treatment of disease and manipulation to joints and bones in the body. Bonesetting does treat disease; however, we do not classify ourselves among the physicians of the time. We maintain our own guild or group that share information amongst itself and learn from each other. We are also rather religious in that generations ago, our bonesetting fathers and mothers began the skill by casting out demons with every crackle and pop of the joints.…

    Walking around school and doors slamming into my face because no one would open them. Going out to eat and everyone staring at the “cripple.” Being in a full leg brace with crutches was a challenge. The only good that came from it physically was my arms got a little bit stronger. Under my arms I developed awful rashes that burned me tremendously. Mentally, I became a better person in every way possible. I was a very reckless individual and I stopped at nothing. I'd jump off buildings into snowbanks and not think about the consequences if I got hurt. My first time getting hurt changed my views on everything. Before I do anything, I think about my knee. It taught me to appreciate my body and not to beat on it constantly. I also feel grateful that I do have a very healthy body. Although my knee does hurt all the time, I can still walk. Now when I see someone disabled in anyway, I do not stare. Instead I feel a sense of sympathy for them. I understand the everyday struggles they must go through that other people might not consider. Before my injury, I never realized the simple things in everyday life are the biggest challenges to…
