Weekly Progress

Over the week I wanted to figure out how one breaks a bone and how the body responds to it immediately. I think I accomplished that. There are several types of fractures. There are complete fractures, greenstick fractures, single fractures, comminuted fractures, bowing fractures, and finally open fractures. I'll have to explain what all of those are in the video. I also wanted to know how the body respond to a broken bone immediately.Almost immediately after the break, the body begins to try and put itself back together again.There are four phases that I'll go into detail with on the video. Next, I want to learn about the surgery involved in readjusting the bone.

I've been thinking about the setup of my video and I think that I would like to demonstrate how one breaks a bone and what a fracture is. Once that topic is completely covered, I'm going to describe what your body does the first couple minutes after the bone breaks. Next, the surgery involved in readjusting, and immobilizing your fracture. Then, the recovery phases and how to best recover a broken bone. Finally, how these breaks affect you in the long run later in life. So I have my order set. My first priority for the upcoming week is to research how one breaks a bone and how the body responds to it immediately.

I spent this last week dreading Thursday. I was scared to present my pitch because I over thought everything about it. I didn't think it would go well at all. I really surprised myself when Mr. Odinga asked me what I was doing. I felt fluent in speech and my eye contact was on Que. So now I want to set up a layout for the video I'm making. Now is where the real grind of work comes in.

My goal was to present about how bones break, heal, recover, and how they affect you later in life. In order to do this I needed a little more research than just my own personal experiences with breaking bones. This week I researched orthopedic surgery and how doctors and surgeons deal with broken bones due to sports injuries. I'm excited for my pitch to Mr. Odinga and anyone else that's going to see it! I'm sure they'll be surprised and impressed.

The Beginning

Blog is all finally set up! A presentation on how bones break, heal, and affect you later in life is what I want to achieve. All I'm left to think about it a solid place to start!
