Excruciating!

I wanted to blog on the latest movie, Overhead 2,
but guess this one have to come 1st.

Just now I went to the Chinese physician for sprained ankle,
frm Fri's st soccer game.

My trailing foot stroke against the ground,
& I fell to the floor.

Results- swollen ankle and a shorten game.

My mum's friend recommended this physician @Toa Payoh,
old aunty can't walk go liao recovered.

An eccentric rule,
he only takes in max 6 person in an afternoon,
and will turn away the 7th person,
irregardless of how good his business is,
coz he will exhaust his 'energy'.
Sounds a "laborious" job.

Double confirmed frm mum's friend's warning-
It's damn painful.

Anyway, no pain no gain.

As today the swollen did not subside,
I went for a visit.

Reached ther, waiting area was packed.
Giving me the confident
I would b returning to normalcy real soon.
Thankfully, I'm the last person for the day.

To think they even had
the door locked to prevent new walk-in.

Fast forward to my turn.
I was told to lie down instead of sitting.
GOsh! Lie down pain can travel faster to the brain.

With bated breath,
the sinseh took out a cloth and rubbed some ointment on it.

My eyes stayed with him,
I saw him freezed there,
poker-faced, eyes fixated.

My heart kept pounding becoz
it seems like he's "generating" his energy.

He prepared two hot towels and started to place them on my foot.
Then told me:
" U still can wait until few days to come for treatment."

The ordeal began...

He started to turn my foot clockwise,
then pulled it away frm me.

There was a cracking sound.

In my shockness,I heard his voice:
" U heard it rite! U heard it rite?!"

"Ya Ya!"

I tried to be as excited as him,
to reassure him hoping he would shorten the treatment.

Then he started to hang my foot on the towel,
and gave another forceful pull.

The pain level was already 50%.
He did a total of three pulls,
and I was told to get dwn and try walking.

I walked with pain, I just couldn't walk upright.

Again he told me to get on the bed.

"Huh? Again?"
As expected, he did not reply.

Then he started to rub his thumbs on my swollen ankle.
Yes, rub. As if he was doing hand laundry.

The excruciating pain was too much to bear,
I sprang up, pleading with him to stop,
at the extent of even stupidly calling him
老板, 够了.

He just kept rubbing.

My tears started to form on the edge of my eyes.
Damn painful, damn boh pian.

He stopped just before I fainted.

My veins felt painful, whole leg affected.
Convulsion was overwhelming, as my legs kept shaking.

He told me my ankle was dislocated.

I thought if there was another round
my urine would dripped out.







It's over.
Another visit required if my swollen does not subside in few days time.

Hopefully not.
