I tell you – very hard! At least when it hits your back of the head. And I guess now, you can imagine what happened.
Friday, the 5th – a gym of a school in Cologne. A group of adolescents is playing volleyball while some of them are waiting well-behaved on the bench for the next game. A boy serves, the ball passes the net and…
hit me!!!
First it was like a shock. Then I felt a strange feeling in my neck and dizzy. I got out of the hall, entered the locker room and started to cry. It was such a pain I could barely endure. The whole world was turning around. I tried hard not to vomit. But after a few minutes, I decided to go back inside and to calm down till the end of the lesson.
The end of the lesson came and the boy who had served wanted to apologize – at that moment got wind of the accident. She had been so busy with assigning marks… So I told her everything and she decided to call the ambulance - after she had run around like a crazy chicken. I was really afraid cuz I hate hospitals.
Another teacher came to watch over me while my teacher was calling the ambulance somewhere.
I was laying on the floor and the world started to turn around again so I called my mother and told her what happened. My eyes started to cry again and I wanted her to come but that was impossible at that time.
The ambulance arrived and the doctor tied a neck collar around my neck. Veeeery uncomfortable – I can tell! We drove to the hospital, they made some tests and after an hour – I guess – another doctor came and told me the result: A whiplash injury!
Impossible! Impossible, I thought… He prescribed some hard pain killers and bed rest and I had to consult my doctor the next monday. I’m a frequenter so my orthopedic surgeon should be happy to see me. Well he was, somehow…
The upshot was that I was sick on leave for the next 2 weeks. I had to do some physiotherapy and I wasn’t allowed to carry heavy things, to move too fast and to do sports!!! Horrible, I can tell.
Get well soon!
Kisses, Sanny
PS: I will take a little break to get well so don’t be upset. I promise, I’ll be back!!!
