I Had A Forklift Accident

(1) Zoe: Listen
Alex! You are not in [vocab word=crutch]crutches[/vocab] any more!
(2) Alex: Listen
My foot could finally move again. What a [vocab word=relief]relief[/vocab]!

"What a (noun)!" is a common expression. The person feels the (noun) is great. "What a relief!" means the person feels great relief (because his foot can move).

(3) Zoe: Listen
I remember you [vocab word=injure]injured[/vocab] your foot in your job.
(4) Alex: Listen
That's right. I was operating a [vocab word=forklift]forklift[/vocab] when it [vocab word=roll]rolled[/vocab] over.

"Roll over" is a phrasal verb. It means to roll on the side.

(5) Zoe: Listen
That's gotta hurt.

It means "It must hurt a lot". Zoe is guessing (and she is very certain) that Alex's foot hurt a lot.

(6) Alex: Listen
No kidding. I wasn't wearing a [vocab word=seatbelt]seatbelt[/vocab]. So, it was my [vocab word=fault]fault[/vocab].
(7) Zoe: Listen
Did they call an ambulance for you?

"They" is the company.

(8) Alex: Listen
I told them not to. I was driving too fast when I turned. It was my fault, so I didn't want to make a big scene. Only my right foot was [vocab word=ache]aching[/vocab]. I thought it would become better over time.

"Make a big scene" means to show to other people your excitement or anger in a very loud, public way. It is embarrassing, so Alex didn't do that.

(9) Zoe: Listen
How did you [vocab word=end up]end up[/vocab] in the hospital, then?

"End up" is a phrasal verb. It means to reach a place, but you didn't expect to reach there.

(10) Alex: Listen
My foot was aching every day, and the [vocab word=pain]pain[/vocab] was getting worse. I was still going to work, but finally, I couldn't take it any more.

"Can't take it" means you cannot stand the pain; you cannot just do nothing because the pain is too great.

(11) Zoe: Listen
So, you went to the hospital.
(12) Alex: Listen
Yeah. The doctor took an [vocab word=X-ray]X-ray[/vocab], and it showed a small [vocab word=fracture]fracture[/vocab] in the [vocab word=bone]bone[/vocab].
(13) Zoe: Listen
Then, what happened?
(14) Alex: Listen
The doctor put a [vocab word=cast]cast[/vocab] on my foot. I was wearing it for 5 weeks until they took it off.

"Take it off" is a phrasal verb ("it" is a pronoun; "take off" is a phrasal verb). It means to remove it.

(15) Zoe: Listen
Were you able to walk after that?
(16) Alex: Listen
No! I wasn't moving my foot at all during those 5 weeks. My foot had gone [vocab word=stiff]stiff[/vocab] after 5 weeks, so I couldn't move it at all.
(17) Zoe: Listen
How did it become better?
(18) Alex: Listen
I went to [vocab word=physiotherapy]physiotherapy[/vocab] for 3 weeks. My [vocab word=physiotherapist]physiotherapist[/vocab] helped me exercise my foot, and it became better.
(19) Zoe: Listen
That's great! Did your company help you with the medical cost?
(20) Alex: Listen
Yes, they did. I'm thankful for that. But, I used to play soccer a lot, and now I can't. I also used to go hiking, but now I can't either. You really have to be careful when you drive a forklift.

"Used to play soccer" means you played soccer before, but now, you don't.
