Collision with the Iguana

August 14th, 2025

You’d be amazed by the correlation between Iguanas and broken legs. There is a connection between lizards that freeze in hibernation during the winter and their doings leading to the fracture of a tibia.

I answered the phone to my father, panicking with the might of Zeus; my mother was in the hospital after having an accident during her workout. What happened?

` We speed through Glades Road to the hospital. Mom was resting. We stopped in our tracks once we reached her room, speechless to see her leg elevated with a cast.

*“Eu não o vi. Eu estava andando na bicicleta do Andrezinho e acidentalmente colidi com uma iguana gigante no meio da calçada.” she told as, whinning in pain. The doctors spoke with the doctor and told us she'd need to rest for the day and participate in some physical therapy. My sister retrieved the bike a little while ago, waiting to be fixed at home.

From then on, iguanas became the bane of my existence. Anytime I see one, it's on-site as payback for what they did years ago.

Statement from Author's mother - Translation Portuguese to English

I didn't see him. I was riding Andrezinho's bike and accidentally collided with a giant iguana in the middle of the sidewalk.
