'Pop'! goes my ankle!

Guess what?

I sprained my left ankle last Thursday, 15th May 2008 (short of 2 1/2 months before my wedding!). This is getting pretty ridiculous. Cried like a crazy woman after P took me to the clinic immediately after the incident took place. And all that happened because I wanted to pee so bad, and had to be a klutz whilst looking for the washroom at the hotel lobby. *sigh*

The only thing I remembered before I fell to my embarassment was me cringing and the sound 'pop'! from my ankle. Everything happened in slow motion, and i think I remembered saying to myself, 'Shit! I'm falling down in front of these strangers just because i was not careful enough to watch my steps'. Soooo....... embarrassing!!

So the moral of the story here is: 'If you really gotta go, then you gotta go. Don't ever, EVER keep it in till you can't stand it no more!'.

Later at the clinic, it was apparent that something was definitely wrong with me as the pain started to get worse, and my ankle had turned from a 'kinda ok' looking size, to a size of an elephant's! And it didn't help that my other half was looking a bit pissy at me for spraining my own ankle, hence throwing away our plans for the rest of the day.

So there I was, at the clinic's waiting room, with a swollen ankle on my left, and a 'childish attitude' displayed by my other half on my right. Super!

Later, after having my ankle x-rayed (upon my request to eliminate possibilities of a fractured/broken bone), the doctor told me that i had sprained my ankle. The only right thing to do was to rest at home and recuperate.

At that point of time, P was already pissy as it is, and I felt worse at the thought that I might not be able to be in tip top condition, in time for our Singapore trip next weekend to look for our 'hantaran' gifts. The irony of it all, huh? A month off from work for my wedding preparation, only to be shot down with a sprained ankle after 2 weeks of my off time.

Some anti- inflammatory medication, Ponstan, bandage and a tube of cream later for my ankle, I was at home, practicing the 'R.I.C.E' (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate) religiously. This is so boring!

By Day One, I had managed to not sit still and told P that I can go to the movies after all to watch 'The Chronicles of Narnia :Prince Caspian' as planned before the klutzy incident. Even had our favourite O'Brien's Irish Sandwiches for dinner. Yum!

Day Two :
After endless naps and watching Sex and The City series for god knows how many times, I have decided to do something useful and stress relieving.... so here I am, blogging!

My ankle's not as swollen as it was during the day of the incident, and I hope that it'll be better so that I don't miss my Singapore trip. Thing that I really wanna do now :

Eat cupcakes/brownies~ eat Sushi King~ eat Bakerzin's strawberry tarts ~ buy an ankle support to help my movement ~ go to Mecca for Umrah after Hari Raya....

I miss a whole load of things. weekends spent with P, my perfectly healthy ankle, my sanity!!

Hope to get well soon. Till then, Think I'll start with my 'Grey's Anatomy' marathon, for god knows how many times already.

P/s : Is it a bad sign if you are really unsure of things, especially at this point of time??
