On August 1, 2021, fate took an unexpected turn when a truck ran a red light in front of me, stopping abruptly in the middle of the intersection. I tried to avoid a collision and managed to hit the bed of the truck instead of the cab, but by doing so I bore the brunt of the impact, fracturing the wrist of my dominant hand. Once I came out of shock, I realized the profound implications this injury would have on my life.
