“I got hurt in the war and as a result I still get dizzy and fall down. Well, one morning I got extremely dizzy and fell hard enough to break my humerus bone in three places. We were in the front yard enjoying the weather, when I decided that I absolutely had to water the grass-right that minute. I screamed so loudly that I alerted the neighbors....I haven't watered any grass since and won’t. / I still get dizzy and fall down. Which sucks.” _ Sylvia Bowesox

After I injured my right knee with an axe, I had no choice, I had to walk all the way to the nearest town where there was a hospital. It took me two hours to get to the town of Dukan. I had to wait several hours before it was stitched.” _ Darya Said
