an injury yet again.
i believe that its now a curse set unto me, eversince that fateful day in highschool when i injured my foot only a few days after i survived a bout with dengue fever. ive been looking forward to resuming my training with the badminton team back then even if i was still experiencing dizzy spells due to the massive loss of blood. the good doctor explicitly told me to take it slow, but my thick skull simply refused to obey. and so, two days before training i managed to injure my foot. oh yeah.
and every year since then, i get to have at least one limb injury that made my elastic bandage, sling, ice pack, and ben-gay an investment. at one point crutches even did a cameo.
last night i banged my foot into the glass partition of the shower in an attempt to break the fall caused by the slippery floor. i managed to leave a small dent into the stainless steel and inflict a 3-inch darkening bruise on my ankle. i screamed profanities after the bang (not caring who heard me) accompanied by a very intense pain that shot up to my knees. after i gathered myself, i ran and put ice cubes on my foot, a procedure ive been very familiar with since this curse. :)
ok, the swelling was minimized and the pain decreased, but my ankle is still some kinda swollen and a tingling pain comes with the effort to walk. argh. great.
to top it all off im currently sick. now i know why ive been sleeping for the most part of yesterday. funny thing is, i do not know the cause of the fever. might be from having been exposed to the drizzle last saturday...only because i was protecting my laptop from the rain. my mother was scowling as i did this to which i reasoned out: "pag ako nagkasakit, madaling gamutin. pag laptop nabasa...good luck." eto'ng napapala ko ngayon.
as of press time im still a little feverish, but its already an improvement since my temp shot up to 39 degrees at around 1am. yes, i was self-medicating. no one in my family knew that im sick. :) and yes, my ankle still hurts.
looks like a day of bedrest for me :)
