Blind Side
I was playing football for gym with my class. A kid who has bullied me for a year and a half is also in the class. A kid on my team threw the football and it hit this bully “down below”, he turned around and decided to hit me down below. I decided to tackle him and told him to leave me alone. When I started to turn around he hit me in the eye. I could stop throwing up, sweating, I couldn’t see straight and talking was too hard. My mom took me to the hospital and they did a CT scan and sent us home with a concussion protocol. Then 6 days later I was still sick to my stomach and I started to vomit so my dad took me to the ER, they assumed it was a stomach bug. My mom felt something was off so on Monday, a week after my concussion she took me to the pediatrician. The pediatrician noticed some numbness and my eye wasn’t working right. She immediately sent us to the ER for a new and larger CT scan. After meeting with a whole lot of doctors they determined I had a fracture on my orbital bone and my muscle was stuck in the fracture. The following day I had surgery and they also had to put a metal plate on my orbital bone. That was 2 days ago.
