This week I was finally starting school. After almost 1 and a half months of relaxing and having fun in Korea, I was refreshed and rejuvenated and prepared to start school. Everything was going well until Thursday I played basketball and just so happened to injure my leg. Unable to walk, I had to ask my friend to take me to the hospital to see what the problem was. I first went to the Korea University Hospital and they took an x-ray and told me that there is a small chance of having a torn ligament. My coordinator for the flagship program then recommended me to check out a different hospital that specializes in bones and ligaments just to be safe. Sure enough, after an MRI examination, I had torn my ACL and had to get surgery. This was my first time getting surgery and being away from home at the same time made me even more anxious. Thankfully I had many caring friends who helped me get through this process and I was able to have a successful surgery. Hopefully my leg will heal quickly so that I can get back to focusing on school and enjoying my time in Korea.
