For the sake of football
I used to play football long time back and always had a wish to play again. After coming to my native, I found out kids playing out football, so I decided to join them. Getting a field nearby in a city is quite difficult, so I thought, I would be able to fulfill my wish again. Everything was going fine, till I got an injury in the leg. Earlier, when we used to play professional football, we used to use lot of precaution, by using guards etc. Since this was just a fun football, I never thought, it would hurt me so bad. So I tried to do the treatment myself - apply ice packs, apply some analgesic for 7 days. And after a week, I was ready and went back to the fields. But again it got hurt at the same place and this time, I started feeling that it was not completely healed.
So pause for few days and started consulting a doctor friend, who advised to show it to a surgeon. For the first time, I went to the nearby government hospital, since there is no better private facility available here, having a surgeon. I have a friend who does have his own pharma business, and after a long time, I called him. I was truly delighted with his response - he advised me to come to his home and then he stopped all his work and took me to the hospital. He personally knows most of the doctors and everyone in the surgery department, because he deals with medicines mostly for surgery. He did all the paper work, took straight to a surgeon who advised for a surgery after an X-ray. The X-ray was good to find, there was no injury to the bone. So the doctor decided to go for a surgery.
He initially thought it to be a Hematoma but post surgery he was telling it was a Seroma and a surgery was needed. After few decades, I was in the hospital and feeling nervous, but my friend was really helpful to give the mental support. These are the moments, we remember and feel the value of friendship. In cities, now a days, people next door even do not recognize us. Come to the villages, you will have a entire different experience - the value of togetherness, to share and care.
The government hospital has definitely improved a lot. They are now even having a help desk to help people. I inquired a bit about what they do and they said, they provide all possible assistance they could. Even sometimes, few people come without anyone with them, and they take care to make sure, they get proper treatment. Unfortunately it's our people who litter these public facilities even after putting boards in clear writing. We definitely need to be better citizens and try to maintain these facilities.
I really liked the attitude of the doctors. They advise minimal tests and do not have a mind set to loot you, unlike the private hospitals. Go to a private hospital, they will write a story of tests to be done, in which we will have to spend lot of money. But little do we realize about the value of these doctors - in rural areas, in some extreme situations, people even blame them sometimes and beat them. I wish, things change and people give them all respect and maintain such facilities.
The surgery was done in this Operation theater. My friend was all along with me and they did the surgery under local anesthesia. Put a gauge deep inside the cut, so that it fetches all the fluids and heals from inside. Today is 3rd day and seems, its getting better. On day 1, it was a mix of blood and serum but on day two, it was mostly fluids. Today I was seeing it myself - a bit difficult, but it hurts when the put that gauge inside.
And the football, I recently bought from decatholon and gave it the team - hoping to be on the field soon. My mother still scolds me for doing all this 😀
Take care dear. Good to see Government hospitals in good shape.
Now I understand your yesterday comment under my post about that football match even more. I didn´t know you were a football player. I used to play a lot when I was a kid/teenager and was even pretty good but never really made it to any club, I was just playing with my friends, most of whom actually were registered with some clubs. Anyway, wishing you good luck and fast recovery so that you can hit the field soon again :)
I represented at the university level 😀, I just love the game.

I'm very sorry to hear about your leg pain and then surgery. I wish your leg will recovery very soon and then play your loving football again. This time you could understand what imporatance about real friendship. Fortunately you met right and honest friend for find better solution. As you mentioned here, there are so many doctors doing valuable service to their patients especially in goverment hospitals. They only seek their patient's healthy situation as well as carefulness. But private hospital's doctors situation very opposite side.
Hmmm going back to childhood is not an easy things....u need to take precautions after a certain age...i remember my brother had a hairline fracture when he jumped from only 3 feet height....the medical centre do reminded me of a hospital maintained by FCI....I once visited there during my childhood days
The brain does not listen 😀 And the govt hospitals are really good now. I wish, they introduce some kind of better hospitality to beat the private players.
I can understand...seems this track suits your situation....enjoy the track and get well soon....👍
😄
Saddening, it's really going to be hurting, especially the pain and not being able to return to the field as soon as possible. Hopefully you get better real soon.
Ouch! I hope you recover quickly so you can get back to playing soccer, but don't rush it. Glad your friend could help you out. I've been robbed by hospitals before, it led me to learn TCM massage for most preventative and chronic things but for emergencies hospitals are sometimes the only way. Feel better soon!
Every day when I go to have the dressing, I ask the doctor, how long it will take to go back to field. Hopefully couple of weeks max...
When a person sees, he learns to deal with such situations. A good player is the one who is injured and does not panic.Because if he doesn't fall, he will learn how to pray for you to get well soon
Gosh @sanjeevm, hope that heals soon, thanks goodness your friend could guide you to the right hospital. People seem to care more in the smaller towns than in the big cities not so!
Get better soon🙏🏻

I am sorry to hear that. I wish you get better soon.
Back to field soon 🤛
next game make sure u wear this. 😁
Get well soon sir.
Sorry to hear that you got hurt. You're lucky to have such good friends to help you out. I hope you feel better soon!
Same thing happened to me after going to GYM, in just 5 days I got disc bulge...so after an age we need to be extra careful.
Ya, that's for sure - I have been doing exercise and running since long time, so was kind of fit - the mistake was to not take any medication on the first occurrence or give more gap to heal it completely. And true, age matters.
I wish you get well soon. You have to take care yourself while playing. Saty safe and only go out there when you are good
It's sad news. Hopefully you will be able to return to the field very soon
