A wonderful & relaxing day

Enjoyed my alone day today. It was great. I started off with the bookstore to look up my next book to read. I found it, the one I really wanted to read, about life.

Then I enjoyed my time at the Starbucks, continued with my current book, the Twilight. It was wonderful, because the story came to the excited scenes. I can't barely put down the book.

After that, it was time to go to the theatre, watched the X-men. Don't you just love Wolferine? Even though he's mutant, he is a real superhero, doing mostly the good things.

Before heading home, I spent my time at the Promenade, trying to finishing up my current book. The sea breeze was so calming and comfortable. Then I heard someone singing. It was an old woman, pushing the wheel chair with her husband on it. They were trying to do exercise at the rails. She's healthy but her husband has Parkinson's Disease. It was great to see them doing exercise in such a great environment, esp the old man took the initiative to mobilize. What a GREAT scene.

I went home when the sun was completely rested behind the mountains. I accidentally made dinner for my dad.

I was home late already, like 7-ish. I waited and waited. He didn't come home. Therefore, I decided to make myself dinner at around 8:30pm. I boiled some vegetables, cooked some rice, heated some tomato sauce beans. It was almost done. Dad came home.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I bought some beef. I plan to make it now. Why don't you pan-fry the beef?"

"Okay."

And therefore, I pan-fried the beef, boiled more vegetables, and made my dad the dinner.

I didn't plan to do it. I think I did a good job at the beef. He didn't complain. At least it was edible.

Addicted

Got on my NerVE!!!

Freaking angry!!!!

After 1 week, the ankle is still swollen. People screamed at me because I was accused of letting my ankle to be THAT swollen.

"How are you going to be a physio??!!"

It's not like I wanted it to be that swollen. There was no ice at the spot. By the time I got home, after icing it, and I just wanted to rest. I wore pressure socks as well. What else am I supposed to do? It's not like I have all the equipments at home, like US. Taping it too tight will reduce circulation, lead my foot to gangrene.

My teammates could only stand around me, and asked, "what can we do for you?" Do I expect them to tape it for me?

It got on my nerve because it sounded like I was incompetent of controlling the swelling of a sprained ankle. In a month, I will get my license, and I still don't know how to control a swelling ankle. What the F?

Post ankle sprained depression

It's happening to me again. Every single time, I am emotionally disturbed when my ankle is sprained. It is because I wasn't able to play vball for a period of time. It's so weird. I start to worry about a lot of things in life. The stress level increased drastically and I can't help myself to stop crying.

However, I was actually surprised that a friend could see the sadness in me without knowing about my injured ankle.


Today, I went to the gym, trying to take the negative energy out of me. It went well as I tried to gain my proprioception back. Then I thought, it was impossible to carry two identities at the same time. At the moment, I was an athlete and a physiotherapist. I could be anything when I am healthy, telling people what exercise to do, telling injured athletes to rest.

However, when my leg is injured, I am predominantly an athlete. The physiotherapy knowledge was hidden somewhere in my brain which couldn't be retrieved. The only thing I know is that I WANT TO GET ON COURT AGAIN ASAP!! Training so hard, progressing some one stage to another in a fast forward mode.

Once again, I experienced the loss of balance patients could have when they have their lower limbs injured. Only after I studied to be a physio, I realized that closed eyes single leg stand is un-do-able for an sprained ankle. Damn that useless ankle.

......don't need anyone to remind me that I am stubborn....... I can't even talk myself into taking a break

Sprained ankle again

Damnit.. have my ankle sprained again. Too upset because this takes volleyball away from my life. Good and Bad cos things are going crazier these days. May be it's time to stop being too active and focus on the annoying FYP and the stupid business plan....really don't have a clue what the heck is going on.

However, it wasn't as depressing as last time because I was still able to walk and go to gym room. And most importantly, there are a lot of people who care very much about my condition. Thank you very much my friends MUAH!!!!

Anyway, I only plan to rest for a week. HEAL FASTER!!!!
