Somethings Happens So Fast

Written by Posted On Thursday, 22 February 2018 13:09

Kids can be such a wonderful experience to have and at times they can even be a little too much. You see, kids often do things without thinking about what they are about to do or the consequences it may have. This is one of the reasons people say you learn from your mistakes. Even as adults, many times we will still do things without thinking of it. Many of us have to do things wrong before we know what is right. By making mistake we can learn and in the future, we can then make the right choices.

Well, some things that happen may not look all that bad at the time, but they can become worse with time. I want to tell you about one such time when something happened to my sister. Now, remember, this was quite some time ago, yet, it has only started bothering her recently. My sister has 2 children and they were 12 or 13 years old at the time. These two loved, and probably still does, to play pranks on people, but this prank, they took it a little too far.

So, here are these 2 beautiful kids and they decided that is was time to prank mommy. But, they also wanted a prank they have not done yet. After discussing the matter at hand, they decide to cover the floor in front of her room with a layer of oil. However, what they did not consider is how she might hurt herself with the fall. As they were kids, they just thought about how funny it was going to be seeing mommy fall on her butt. They thought she would step out, slip and fall backward on her butt.

Yet, things did not go as they planned and to top it all, they got it on camera. You see, these two had set-up their camera just outside the room on the railing of the staircase in order to capture the big fall. The worst of it all is that her door basically comes out at the top of the stairs. So, as you can imagine, the result was not considered.

The two then went downstairs and hid around the corner of the staircase. First, the one yelled out and then the other one. It kind of sounded as if they were fighting which is normal for most kids, except, these two never even argued. Therefore, as soon as my sister heard this, she came rushing out of her room to see what the commotion was all about.

The biggest problem was that she came out half-and-half at a running pace. She stepped out, felt that she was slipping but there was nothing she could do, and she was going forwards not backward onto her butt as planned. My sister tried to grab onto the railing as she fell forward, yet, her motion was too quick and her hold was not complete. Luckily, their staircase isn’t very long, if it was, it could have ended a lot worse.

I think the tumbled down the stairs would not have been such a big issue had it not been for the kid's bicycles. Just pass the first step upwards stood their bicycles, parked neatly and waiting for her. She connected with them in a big loud bang. For a moment she just lay there, trying to figure out if anything was broken, but all felt okay, sore, but okay. The kids obviously seeing her just lying there got a big fright. For a moment they thought they had killed her and began screaming, this time for real. But it didn’t last too long as my sister slowly started to turn towards them.

They ran over and assisted her up and to the sofa. She was really mad at them and made sure they now understood that this was their very last prank ever. I was informed of this incidents first as they two called me to come and help. Upon my arrival, she had already cleaned the bit of blood from the scrapes and the knock on her lip. She seemed quite a bit bruised but otherwise fine and insisted that she did not require a doctor.

But a few weeks later she started complaining of pelvic pain, yet, she thought that it may be menstrual pains. However, after a couple of days, it never came and the pain just did not want to go away. She explained it as a continues dull painful feeling.

I only found out about this in week two as she decided to simply just drink painkiller and go on with her everyday schedule. Yet, when the second week came and the pain got more intense, she realized that the painkiller did not work anymore. Well, she could no longer hide the pain either and once I realized there was a problem, I immediately took her to the doctor and not a moment too soon.

We discover that she had hurt her womb and ovaries from with fall down stairs, or maybe actually the landing on the bicycles. The doctor informed us that they would have to remove her ovaries and her womb. The doctor also said we were lucky to have brought her in when we did as it could have been a lot worse.

Therefore, my advice to all is that it is always better to rather go and see a doctor after an accident at home, even if you feel fine.
