Chapter Two

Femur Bone

I was stuck inside for lunch recesses in grade Six for speech therapy lessons because I didn't talk enough.

That might have something to do with this.

One 'lucky' day the teacher decided I was getting a break so I could go out and play with my friends.

I wasn't that overjoyed to go outside in the cold with people that aren't really my friends, more like a horrible fake friendship born out of a continuing attempt for any friends.

I stepped out of the side entrance right here.

I barely made it past the steps outside. Around here.

REWIND

There was a snowball fight going on I was completely unaware of.

I had just started walking towards my group of peers on the other end of the big kids side of the school yard.

Male Student O had been hit by a snowball by ?Unknown Entity? and had looked back and seen me walking by, assuming I was the one who threw a snowball at him.

Whatever angle and force I had been hit with unawares. My left leg rotated around 300-320° pointing my foot the wrong way, then Student O landed up top of my leg.

Spoiler: My left femur bone was broken into four chunks, a spiral break.

I was strangely calm at first. I yelled to Student O to go get a teacher.

He hesitated, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't stand up or move my leg. "GO GET A TEACHER, NOW!"

You forget the pain with the passing of time. I didn't start hurting until...

A bunch of dots in a circle representing students surrounding me

The two teachers that arrived on the scene were Mr. T the french teacher, and Mrs. S.

Lawsuit Moment #1

Mr.T

Mr. T the classic character saying 'I pity the fool!'

Not that Mr.T, the french teacher!

Two images comicbook style. 1: Chris is picked up 2: Chris is dropped on his leg and smashes into the ground

He assumed I was fine, faking it, crying wolf. Mr.T picked me up and half dropped me on my leg as if to be "See, he's fine!"

I was not.

I must of said something that wasn't too pleasant...

Lawsuit Moment #2

Teacher #3 joins the scene, Mr. C

The two male teachers Mr.C and Mr.T pick me up to start moving me inside, recess theatrics is almost over.

Diagram: The middle entrance set of combined doors has a metal strip in the middle each door latches into.

They smacked my leg against the middle section either carelessly or inentionally.

Horrible Family Moment #1

As Chris is being carried towards the office.

Thanks for the help.

Lawsuit Moment #3

I'm sat down in a chair by the office.

The teachers were trying to relax and convince me to calm down as I'm freaking the fuck out bawling my eyes out at this stage.

Teachers trying to straighten my leg onto a foot stool

Dr says: In this moment, they are taking sections of his bones and forcing them to dig into the other sections of his bone.

Lawsuit Moment #4 & Horrible Family Moment #2

The person called to the scene...

Dramatic Reveal!!!

My Dad arrives with a customer's car from the shop.

At this point I'm technically "out of the teachers' hair" but what follows next is directly caused by their negligence.

Comic book style: Pixel Chris sliding around the back seat trying to grab on for life as Dad enters race driver mode on public streets.

ps: Hospital records have to confirm I arrived at that hospital with a broken leg and I didn't arrive in an ambulance from the public school.

Hospital

Mom arrives at the hospital not long after Dad has driven me here.

I'm sat in a wheelchair

Wheelchair Chris with foot pointing the wrong way

Because I didn't arrive in an ambulance I had to wait in a long lineup of memorable instances of people in less dire needs.

Can I continue to blame the teachers for my continued misfortune?

Combined Lawsuit Total: $

I wait in the hospital for X hours... in excess of 4-6 hours estimate.

I'm eventually pushed through for X-rays.

I'm taken to a hospital room where the doctors tell my Mom she should go to the cafeteria to get something.

Doctor grabbing and rotating my leg manually in one massive twist.

The next phase of my life is a bit of a blur.

Drugs may of had something to do with this.

Morphine

Traction for a month

I was a grade six hippy

Who I was going in.

Chris walking away from a TV & video game consoles

Who I was going out.

Are two different people.

I didn't recall much, remember my memories from before this. Also, I wasn't aware of what was missing because I gave it no thought, I had no reason to.

Hit the reset button in a sense...
