A day off & more moving.


So. I hurt my left foot. I figured it was part playing soccer on concrete barefoot and tripping over some loose tile while walking to MP d'Klub. On Saturday it felt like a bone or ligament was out of place and gradually, it became stiff. My parents claim that it looked slightly swollen but I honestly didn't buy in. Basically because I was able to walk around Orchard on Monday with GX and not feel pain. Ok on the account that I was limping a little to keep the weight off the foot. It wasn't pain but it felt stiff and weird. So after work, my dad offered me a ride to the western doc and here's what he said.

"Hello Sarah!"

"Hi Doctor!"

"How are you feeling?"

"Oh I'm totally fine, just that the foot's stiff"

"Yes, I can see that you're limping"

"Ya... well it's not pain but everytime I put weight on the foot it feels strange... like something's out of place."

"Ok let's have a look then"

"Btw, I was going to see a Sinseh tomorrow..."

"Don't!! You shouldn't see a Sinseh. If there's a slight fracture, seeing the Sinseh will make matters a whole lot worse!"

"Err... so you think there's a fracture?"
"At this point you're not feeling pain but I'll prepare a form for imaging to be done in case."


He then proceeded to draw the bone structure of the foot. It was quite fascinating considering I was getting a BIO lesson from a doctor during consultation. Haha anyways, he pointed out that the mid-section (where it felt stiff & uncomfortable) had the most bones and concluded that if I wasn't better by Thurs, I should go for an Xray in case there's a slight fracture.


The whole time, he didn't feel my foot. So I'm a tad suspicious that he might have been wrong but anyway. Muscle relaxants and anti-swelling pills were prescribed & I got an MC for today. Which left me feeling redundant that I could actually do work just not walk too fast but anyway...

I spent today doing lesson plans for d'Klub. Which was a good way to spend my time I would think haha! Very little moving around and if I did, I did it really slowly. In the evening, my dad figured he could activate me to pack some stuff for them to bring over. So I was left with the menial task of wrapping breakables. Sit, wrap, sit, wrap. We've gotta move out in 10days. 10 days!! Time sure flies.
