Anything fracture or dislocation requires proper care and treatment. Let 6 months be 6 months.

EmekaStanley:
Around middle of November 2018, I had an accident with a scooter I had bought to ease my transportation to and from Apapa where Givanas, a company I worked with at that time is situated.

The scooter was a life saver for me considering the state of Apapa road at that time.

As a result of the accident which was as a collision with a distant-minded person crossing the road, I fractured my radius, had deep scratches on my shoulder and face.

I was rushed to a local orthopedic who wore me a cast on my arm to immobilize it.

At that time, I was actively seeking to leave Givanas, so I saw Jagal vacancy for the post of a ‘buyer’. I took the test online, scored high and was invited for a face to face interview.

While at home taking some off days due to the injury, I attended Jagal interview with the cast and injury marks on my face.

I arrived Ikoyi, the headquarters of Jagal, met Ian Moodley, the then Group Supply Chain Manager, who was to interview me.

Ian Moodley looked beyond my injuries, interviewed me properly and told me he was going to hire me, and he did.

He just referred me to the Group HR then, Daniel Ayscough to formalize it.

By the end of that day, I received an official email from Daniel informing me that I have been hired, and asked me to resume by the second week of January, which was enough time for me to notify Givanas that I was quitting.

I immediately sent an email to Givanas informing them of my resignation, went to work few times with the injury and that was it.

There are lots of things I could pull out from this writeup including Jagal's penchant for recognizing talent irrespective of a physical condition that some employers could use as an excuse not to hire someone or my own part of not being discouraged to attend the interview because of my injury.

Now, here is the purpose of this write up.

I was supposed to carry that cast for at least 2 months or even more than, to enable my radius heal well but I removed it the week I resumed at Jagal.

Almost 6 years down the line, close to 4 years after I left Jagal, I have to wear the cast again for that same injury I had.

Apparently the bone joined but didn’t heal properly. All the pains that I should have borne 6 years ago, I am bearing some of them now.

Surprisingly, throughout that time, I was carrying weights at the gym, though I noticed that there was a particular gym programme (which was my favorite) that I couldn’t do without pains in the arm.

That was when I got convinced that my arm has not healed completely.

Today, anytime I go for massage of the arm, I feel real pain, and thoughts keep running through my mind. But, I have serious life lessons I have learnt from this.

One: There is no shortcut to healing. The only exception here is if it is a miracle because I believe in miracles.

If you are meant to receive a particular treatment routine, please stick to your treatment until you are healed completely, confirmed by qualified personnel.

If you abandon your treatment, there’s a high chance you’ll meet the ailment in the nearest future. It could be a form of relapse or something.

Two: Do not postpone pains. Pains are part of living, and every stage of life seems to have its own pains or place of discomfort. Sometimes it could be a form of progress. Unless that, do not postpone pains, they have a way of coming back.

It could have been better for me if I had borne all these massage and cast pains 6 years ago than now. I mean, it is a distraction for me at the moment.

Thirdly but not the least, your health is more important than any job. Take care of yourself.

In any job, no one is irreplaceable. Even the business collapsing due to your absence could be a way of your replacement in the grand scheme of things.


Finally, life is beautiful, I personally don’t want to be dealing with things I should have dealt with years ago, No I don't.

Do you?

How will you be wearing a cast for a fracture from 6 years ago.

The bone edges will not join again.

Or is there something we are missing?

I hope you are seeing a 'proper' Orthopaedic Surgeon?!

Nice write up. But from the picture you posted there, the bandage is not the right way to immobilize fractures of the radius and ulna. The cast must cross 2 joints. Your elbow joint and your wrist. This will provide the proper immobilisation of arm.

Thank you for the eloquent and deep write up. This is life a Bible story. I will keep reading every once in a while so I remember the lessons you have shared.

Jesus saved me from what would have been a terrible accident at my place of work this night. Thank you Jesus.

Captivating and educative, but is it necessary you make public the names of your Superiors /colleagues at your workplace considering this space is a social/public Forum.? Just thinking nio

Lesson learnt

Sonnobax15:

It is well with you my bro...

Health is wealth.......

One reason why I don't stress myself these days............When other keke riders are busy Killing themselves from morning to night,I don't care ....If na 4-5 hours I work daily,I'm okay ...

My sanity over every other fvcking thing on earth

If I dom seatdown for my keke wey nyash don dey pain me, I don close from work for that day.

Hezzyluv:



If I dom seatdown for my keke wey nyash don dey pain me, I don close from work for that day.

. I swear bro.........No be to kill body put for the work nai dey mean say person go get the money....Na calculation..

decatalyst:
Health is wealth.


Never rush any healing process, be it physical, emotional or spiritual injury.

Gbam!!!!

Remember words of a senior doctor... he said " Not all pains require drugs" its not easy to accommodate the pain but if you can... manage it and let it heal away on its own...

I said why doc... he said some drugs hav some side effects which can hav an impact in ur body later in the years...

"Don't postpone pain..."

I know GIVANAS... anagram VAGINAS
I know JAGAL ....Valid word

But, I have the decency not to casually put the names of their employees in a post like this.

To what purpose, sir?

Great lesson!

Great write up.
Quick and full recovery sir

JonTopps:
Almost thought I was reading an excerpt from a Chimamanda novel. Well said.

Lolzzz....really

222Martins:
Hmmmm, Givanas at Apapa!! Memories!! A company i co-founded with my brother supplies them diesel back in the days before my brother left the shores of this country.......The company gave us our much needed break as we were just starting out in the oil and gas industry........Time really flies.....

Stay strong!!!

Updated: My brother, who handled operations for our company saw this thread and confirmed to me that he had one or two run-ins with you. Your moniker Emeka Stanley is your real name and you were the procurement officer at Givanas. This life!!!! I expect you to be older, wiser, experienced and humble now .....

Hmm

I some time worked with Givanas

Names are meant to be identified.

If I'm writing real life stories, I mention names

All I have to say is God Bless you for sharing this. There are so many angles of learning from
This.

I salute your courage. Also hail the company that hired you , in-spite of... You both were/are inspirational

I pray that you will experience a major miracle very soon. Something that will bring true joy to your soul. Amen 🙏🏽

Thank you for this write up.

May your healing be complete and comprehensive.

Thanks

You still learnt nothing! No real medical professional Orthopedic surgeon or Physiotherapist will bandage or immobilise your hand like that.
You are an adult whose bones has fully ossified

Let me stop here.

You learnt absolute nothing.

The bone has joined. There's just a slight swelling around the joined area.

And massaging and binding it helps a lot now.

Or what do you think?

Remember he said he believes in miracles.

So dont push further...

You didn't read the story well.

Already joined, if it didn't join, I wouldn't be able to lift weights.

There's a slight swelling around the area that pains when massaged strongly.

With that, it flattens and heals well

EmekaStanley:

Or what do you think?

one of the complications of fracture is malunion,
and that's what you have right there including poor healing.
One of the stages of a healing fracture is the callus formation stage which is the most prominent of all the healing stages because it's more visible. If the callus hasn't formed then sorry you will continue to treat pain and some other complications might result.
My advice to you is to get an x-ray done first that will give you a clear picture of what the fracture looks like.
