It's been so so long... I have been out for a month now ever since I broke my leg. Broke my shin bone (fibula for those who knows anatomy) & I also twisted my ankle so badly, kinda like dislocation. What an ordeal!
It happened on the 12th of July when my HOD decided to do something active for our PE meeting. We were trying out some tossing sport. One of my colleague threw the ball over me, way behind my back. I had to leap up & backwards, unaware that there was a soccer ball behind me.
Guess where I had to land? On the soccer ball! Right leg came down on the soccer ball. Body weight comes crashing down due to Newton's Law of Gravity! Ball rows to the right as I am coming down. Leg is twisted right, with ankle twisted up & as I land, leg was at a forty-five degree angle, meaning weight is coming through the middle of the shin. So what happens? SNAP! Yup, I heard it! My friend heard it.
Rushed to NUH's A&E. Took X-rays. To no avail. They detected nothing! Went home. Leg swelled up. Decided something was amiss because I clearly heard a snap & I was told there was no fracture. I went to Raffles Hospital for consultation and had another X-ray done and they discovered that I had the fracture. Now what? Raffles Hospital said I needed an operation costing an estimated sum of $4k! 4 gees? 4 grand! I decided to seek 2nd opinion. So I went back to NUH, demanding to see a specialist!!
I got my wish eventually. Had to be admitted, had to wait for swelling to subside. Then the operation. All went well... Now I am out of the hospital with some extra metal pieces in me. A screw through my ankle & a metal plate for my fracture. When I go through Airport customs, wonder whether I might trigger a metal detector? Haha...! Still can't walk though. It's been so so long since I have been standing or doing something. Getting kinda bored... Anyway, during the hospital stay, many colleagues, friends, students came. So heartwarming... Leaving it for next time.
