then at SGH . i got on a wheelchair .. and got around the A&E, go for x-ray and stuff ... then saw the doctor , she said . according to the x-ray , im fine. no serious fracture and stuff. just rest for a few days, i'll be fine and kicking again ! i was super glad .Until she instructed the nurse to inject me in my butt ! awwww !! its been some time since i've had an injection since the days when i dislocated my elbow, back in sec2. when the needle went in... i could tell you , it was more than an ant's bite. its piercing. could feel the needle's friction in my flesh . till i let off an audible argh ! that the nurse apologised.
you know . i diddnt blame anyone . but its just a 'phobia' i should say , that i developed back then . i wasnt afraid of injections at all before. but until recently , the last time i had plenty till i got scared of it. i remembered there was this plastic tube, size of a yakult straw, into the back of my hand. its an 'adaptor' to further inject some anesthesia (whoo! i got this right in the first attempt), while they fix my elbow back into position . then it was again, a cast , and then disaster striked, i developed chicken pox, after i was discharged after a one night stay in the hospital, and you know, there will be fever following , i had high fever, something close to 39 degrees celsius, i remembered, and i had to be sent to hospital again , for some vaccination and blood tests. 2 injections in a night. its real bad man. seriously, i pity myself for that.
but , where was i ...? ooh.. ya ,the nurse apologised and yes, i got wheeled out, and collected medication . i thought to myself, yes ! at last ! from that day onwards, i was limping .. wherever i walked to .
but days gone by , the swelling did not subside, but it got worst as i carried on with my daily activities, going to school , walking around , until it was covered with bruises all over. until it looks like a zombie's leg. i thought it was normal, and so , i planned to wait until i see a bone doctor (i forgot the word for it). until one day , the doc, called to bring my appointment forward. and then i went for it .
then the doc told me there was a very minor fracture, and if i do not cast it up, there will be repercussions when i grow old .
thats how i got it casted up ...
THE END
