I woke up today with my ankle freaking pain. I couldn't even walk properly at all. It was worse than yesterday. I was already in my SJI uniform then my mom told me not to go to school since it was so bad. So she took lift and brought me to Polyclinic, where i had an X-Ray done on my ankle, just to take precaution. Guess how much the X-Ray cost? Just $14 man, i thought it would be a bomb la...like $200+. Cos the last time i went to Mount E with my nanny, her X-Ray was around $200+. Anyway, the doctor at the polyclinic said that i had a crack fracture at the lateral melleolus which is the bone around the ankle. So they refered me to NUH, where the specialist orthopaedic will attend to me. When i went to the A&E department, guess where they send me to? They send me to the children's emergency. Hahaha...but who cares anyway, there was less waiting time than compared to the normal A&E. Yeah, so they study my X-Ray and the senior doctor said that it was not a fracture cos when they press the bone of my ankle, it doesn't hurt that much, and i wouldn't be able to walk. The line that appeared in the X-Ray on my bone was actually the ramnants of the children bone fusing together to from the adult bone...so yeah. Not that bad actually, it was just a really bad sprain. They said that i needed to rest about 2-3 weeks. I was WTF! I have my triple jump next friday. But they say by next week, the swelling shud go down and i will think that i am able to do anything. But to prevent permanent injury thn i have to take at least 3 weeks to 1 month's rest. But i dun can, i am going to defy what they say next week and go for my triplr jump qualifying round. I make sure i qualify on my first jump so that i can go and not have to do repeated jumps and injure my ankle. So hopefully by the time, it is the finals for the triple jump, i ankle will be fully healed. And hopefully by thn my proper triple jump shoe will arrive so that it will provide more cushioning for my foot, and prevent more impact on my legs, so hopefully all goes well.

Bye!
