stupid broken knee
i long to be able to sleep with my knee bent. and to be able to not wake up 15 times in one night, clutching at my knee. the doctor says it's a good month away before the pain goes away and physio starts. that means it's 4 weeks of post operation pain. sigh.
no one comes here anymore, but if you did, you'd know what happened. it didn't just dislocate, it broke. and my ligaments are shredded (the word the doc used). this is perhaps the worst injury i ever had and it certainly feels like it. my brother says after the 3 hour surgery, i'll feel nausea, groggy and pain. i'm not really that scared of pain (i think i have a rather high threshold), but i am afraid of being immoblie (which i will be) for the week i'll be in hospital. i don't like the thought of not being able to walk around and fetch things for myself.
i hobble around school now and get my fair share of odd looks ("who's that asshole taking his own sweet time going down the stairs?") and sympathy (the cleaning lady offered to pray for my recovery =) ) but mostly, people have been considerate - keeping doors open, helping me support myself, offering kind words.
none more than my housemates, jem and chow. they've been nothing short of amazing when it comes to doing whatever needs to be done. thanks guys for getting me to the hospital, for getting my ice, for the emotional support, for the food, for the assurance that help is a shout away =) and shout out to siaw too for going to SJMC with me.
pwas and sue, thanks for the rides to get food, the sms-es asking how i am, the ferrying around, the concern. it's going to be 4 long weeks of taking care of me, don't get sick of it, ya? LOL. but i am unbelievably grateful to have the both of you being so caring. *tears up*
to my other friends, thanks for your concern. all of you have gone out of your way to ask how i am, and for a person in constant discomfort, it's a moment of relief when someone shows they care.
and to you: i'm hurt. disappointed. heartbroken.
surgery on monday. hosp for a week. 4 weeks of pain. 4 weeks of physio.
projected return to futsal? november
