WHAT CAN ONE DO WITHOUT HIS LEGS?( A Trip to Hospital )

A stop at the hospital by Naijavoyage on 12th January as part of our yearly visit to hospitals. Our encounter with a patient and his heartbreaking naration on how he has being on the hospital Bed without stepping his legs down for a month. READ ON YOU WILL GET TO KNOW HOW HE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL BED.



When Mr Peso was greeted by Naijavoyage and we exchanged greetings' he was filled with joy but in few minutes  he switched mood.


Because we wanted to know how he got to the hospital and what happened to his legs. The only thing we can do was to ask questions.

To our greatest surprise our questions were not answered directly rather he threw back a very interesting question to us. " WHAT CAN ONE DO ACTUALLY WITHOUT HIS LEGS, CAN ONE WALK OR TRAVEL WHEN HIS LIMBS ARE CAGED IN A PVC HOUSING" ?  Shocked right ?  Naàh!!! You dont have to be. It's getting interesting.  READ ON.......

we couldn't answer the question he asked because the answer is quite obvious.
HIS STORY...............
  I have prepared to travel to ONDO ( ONDO STATE ) on 13th of December 2017. But unfortunately for me I got hit by a 3Ton FORKLIFT DRIVE.  It came as a shock to me but i managed to scream out before The driver stopped.
The driver was unaware that i was at the Back of his Machine. My legs were crushed instantly.   I was rushed to the hospital immediately and operation was performed on the next day being 14th of December 2017. And since the operation was performed, I realized that the legs i have now are useless to compare to the legs I  had. I HAVE NOT stepped down from this Bed since 13th of December till now. I do everything on this Bed.  I spent my Xmas and new year on this hospital Bed. Not even looking out through the windows. Is that not worst than being Dead?


That was his Story.
After spending long ours with Mr Peso and tried to calm him and remind him that being alive with broken limbs is better than being Dead. We believed we tried our best because He smiled at the end and before he bid us farewell he still reminded us that " ONE CAN'T WALK NOR TRAVEL WITHOUT HIS LEGS "
And most importantly, He reminded us how important the legs are and that we should be careful with four wheels.
