sad.

ARGH. I SPRAINED MY ANKLE. TWICE IN A MONTH.
talk about bad luck.
So, it happened yesterday in school at about 7pm probably? And it was one hell of a day. I got tripped and landed on the ground with my ankle positioned and whacked weirdly against the it, courtesy of a friend whom i have decided not to name to protect his identity.
The pain i experienced during the first 30 seconds was excruciating. I thought i had torn my ligament or sth. Damn pain, felt like blacking out, but the pain kept me from doing so. So took a cab home, with the cabfare sponsored by him. couldnt even put my leg on e ground. had to hop from place to place BLEH so damn pain la.

This morning, woke up, took bus to the polyclinic 2 stops away. Sorta hobbled.
After taking the xray examination.
Doctor:Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. i m not sure what this xray means. i have to consult a colleague of mine.
methinks:"omg, chum liao."
-after several moments the doc finally skipped(kinda) back in-
doc:it seems that you have fractured the bone in ur right ankle. A tranverse one. I will refer you to CGH a&e department. i will write you a referral letter. You have to wear a cast and learn how to use crutches for about 2 months. They wil arrange everything there.

methinks:"shit lah, aprils fool still one week away. you tell me this kind of crap expect me to believe?"
mesays:"ok."
I swore, my whole heart sank as i travelled to CGH.
Crutches=shit.
Cast=shit.
My life with em=shits times 2.
How am i gonna cope lor.

But then again, my luck is good la. The doc there said
"i cant see anything. I think it is just a sprain. if the swelling doesnt stop, come to me next week.. blah blah blah"
Wow, am so happy then can!
Almost died and gone to hillbilly heaven when i heard "no crutches"!
But fact is, ive sprained my ankle. and its really swollen.
i think its getting prone to sprains and twists now.
ive got to stop taking risks when i play sports.
Esp contact ones like soccer.
So no soccer for 2 months. A long time. but im just not gonna get onto the field (or anywhere else) and kick a ball. See me doing that, you can come and scold me or do whatever crap you want. My leg is more important.
Prevention is way way better than cure.
actually, ive realised how ive been taking things in life for granted. You dont realise their importance until you actually lose them. Then youll start regretting and all. Take my ankle for example, after spraining it 3 weeks ago, i didnt care and started running around again. Yesterday, it happened again and this time it was worse. So people, treasure what you have now!!! cherish em man. if not, one day, whoosh its all gone. and youll start asking urself questions.

Sigh. my ankle still hurts quite abit.
Hope the swelling heals within a week. really.
