"Trauma: Any injury, whether physically or emotionally inflicted. "Trauma" has both a medical and a psychiatric definition. Medically, "trauma" refers to a serious or critical bodily injury, wound, or shock. This definition is often associated with trauma medicine practiced in emergency rooms and represents a popular view of the term. In Psychiatry, "trauma" has assumed a different meaning and refers to an experience that is emotionally painful, distressful, or shocking, which often results in lasting mental and physical effects.*"
On January 14th of 2012 my head hit the garage door and for the next thirty seconds or more I blacked out. The first thought that came to my head was,"Oh! I think I broke my neck or back!" Then it was,"Oh! no! I might end up quadriplegic or who knows paraplegic! How am I going to live? What about my little one? Will my husband bear with me or find someone else?Again what about my little girl? Maybe I will die or demand death like Hrithik Roshan did in whatever that boring movie was!-------------------------"
Blank blank some more blank and then it call came back!
I woke up my head on my mother's lap with faces glaring at me as if I were already dead. I saw tears of devastation in my mother's eyes which, I still feel were more of fear than sense of loss and then there was the classic annoyance on my dear spouse's face. Slowly my hearing picked up and I heard constant utterance and moaning. My mother of course mentally prepared herself for I still have no idea what? Per her she wondered if I would suffer slip disc! Okayy! On the other hand my husband growled at me like a rabied dog for not being careful enough.

Other days I would have put up a fight but at that minute I was just happy to see and hear things. Whatever that maybe!
And in it is at that instance I had a reveltion. Life opened up a whole new lesson for me. For once I hugged my annoying relatives and pinched my sleeping daughter which was followed with a crying episode. Then and right there I saw what was revealed and promised to never give up on hope, myself or people I beleive in!
