Accidents are unpredictable. I hit one almost the most unpredictable way.
More often Accidents are heard, off automobiles, heights, speeds, etc. but not many when on a simple walk.
I Was just walking alone, crossing a road, no automobile hit me. Also, I am a passive person, have no fear of enemies, am not extremely rich or important to have hit by a another man.
I was on the streets, crossing a road, that's when I got hit in my stomach. This was one of those humid afternoon as I waked on the street and approached a divider of a feet high, little more that a feet high, that was also fixed with triangular shaped prism like reflector made of steel.
I carefully watched the road, with no vehicles passed by when I crossed, and I climbed on the one divider with my right foot forward, with my sandals that had a fairly worn out grip. As I climed with all my body weight on the right foot forward, just realizing I am slipping away on the edge of the divider below on my toe , and very consciously and aware that l was falling forward, still confident of nothing bad, and naturally leaning forward to get support on the ground, the accident struck, this was the moment, that I just realized I was hit right in the center of my stomach , with almost like 90 Kgs falling in, not able to believe have met with an accident, was trying to reach the ground with my hands, for a moment I was hanging on the reflector with all my body weight completely, realizing am hit.. hit in the stomach hard enough leaving me with pain and breathlessness, still in the center of the road, I felt some air was suddenly pumped in with pain in the left side of my stomach, and just leaving me out of breath, yet with no panic, and awareness of being hit, pain acutely increasing in no seconds, I pick up the camera bag lying on the ground that I was wearing with the belt on my shoulder until i fell and holding a cell phone with my left hand, I looked to my left to find no vehicles and crossed, with the pain acutely increasing, just wanting to sit down or just breath, right there on footpath, and just few steps away I find a place a bend down in pain, wanting to breath and sweating with in a minute, with a complete hangover, heard not a sound.. feeling light too bright, consciously breathing with thought of emergency, and hoping noting too serious, and the phone in my hand slipping away with no grip. thats when a stranger asked me if I was alright, I could not respond and still with my head down and slowly recovering. I started seeing things around me and was totally tired and exhausted, sweating and in pain although recovering. I stood up and walked by to drink some water and found a juice shop and asked for an orange juice, by the time the juice arrived I was out of that moment, and recalling all this happening in just less than 10 minutes, I had an orange juice felt like the life returned into the body feeling better and recovering.
This incident was so similar as if being punched right in the center of the stomach, and the person would fall down in pain and out of breath, helpless and in left in panic and pain.
Certainly, one factor would have made it worse, Some Threat! I had none.
Later on, I met my physician and got some tablets explaining him of this incident. After a week, was better , with little pain, third week I met friends to play bowling. And now all set for the next game!!
