hi.. my name in Naminder.
On 30th january 2009 at around 10:30 pm i was riding on my motorcycle back to my place when a speeding car from front came,as the cardriver wanted to overtake another car in front of him.he suddenly turned to clear of the car,i was comming from the front moreover his high beam lights blinded me so in no time he hit me from the frontright side in my leg guard.The leg guard collapsed crushing my leg.the car skidded towards mr and hit me in my knee.the jolt broke my right femur into 4 pieces.everything happened in just a flick of second.however,i fell on the road but i was not experiencing any pain in my right leg.people gathered there asking me if i were fine.i was responsive but i knew that my lower leg(tibia)has been crushed into pieces,it was like several pieces of broken glass in my leg.
Police van came and took me to the hospital.there i was shoked to learn that i had 5 fractures in my tibia,4 fractures in my femur and 1 fracture in ulna(arm).i had 1 12 inch cut on my knee and 8 inch cut on my right arm.
The good thing was i didnt fell unconcious there.
the next day hypoxia didnt spare me and i went unconcious for 2 hours,i got shifted to a bigger hospital and my condition began to get normal.There i had 9 hour surgery and i was put on a ventillator for 2 days..anyway,after 1 and a hslk month i started to walk on a walker on only one leg..after 3 months i was allowed to put on 25% weight on my right foot.but the biggest problem still remained.there was a non union in my femur and no progress had been made in the past 4 months..
The doctor suggested bone grafting of right femur.so i underwent an autologus bone grafting with some syynthetic bone grafting also.
Now again i m put to bed with no movements....its like hell.
i dont know y i m not getting healed at a normal rate..y it is so slow...
