I am now in crutches

Yup, another pair of legs to walk and I ain't going any faster.

I had a pretty bad fall playing basketball, although I can't recall exactly what happened, but I remembered going after the ball with my fren who was my opponent. He was dribbling the ball actually, and he ran quite fast, so I did my super speedy chase to block him off, but somehow we collided and next thing I knew I was on the ground, clutching my right ankle. Oh the pain was excruciating, it took me a while to stand up and I had to laugh it off to numb the pain off.

Anyway, took a trip at A&E, doc said there was no fracture although he said my ligaments might be pulled pretty bad since I couldn't put my foot down properly without cringing in pain. So an appointment is set for me to go to see a doc at polyclinic.

Now, I am walking with crutches and it isn't easy. Walking with an extra pair of legs really takes a lot of energy. Looks easy but it ain't, now I know how much difficult it is doing simple actions at home. Heck, I had trouble taking my apple juice from the fridge, not to mention the difficulty of wearing shorts. I think I should just wearing a sarong.

I can't turn my head

Talk about over-exertion and wrong sleeping position. I woke up with a bad strain behind my neck, that I even had problem just sitting up. I was groaning just trying to get up and dragged myself to the bathroom. I turned on the heater and let the hot water run down my neck. Slight relief there, but after a good long bath, I walked out of the bathroom, like Michael Keaton in a Batman suit.

After a good dry up with the towel, putting on a shirt was like wearing metal armour. You don't feel comfortable at all. I applied some 'heat stickers' on my neck and back. After abt an hour, I could move my neck a bit, and did some neck stretching. I was thinking of taking some pain killers, but that would put me to sleep. So I am just bearing the pain as I try to type this blog post.
