A really unlucky streak has seen me being down with a cough for almost a month now and on Sunday I sprained my left ankle while missing a step as I stepped off the road pavement. Argh. I stupidly thought the ankle would heal on its own and that the pain would go away. Obviously it didn't.
So finally I went to a Chinese sinseh along Upper Paya Lebar Road and got the ankle fixed back into place. By this time, my left leg had already become slightly shorter than the right and the bones in the foot were slightly out of place. He told me I shouldn't have left it for so long and that I really should have gone to get it treated straight away. OK, so everyone please learn from my mistake. Now the foot is being bandaged with some Chinese herbal medicinal paste under it. I'm not supposed to let my foot get wet - so that means putting a plastic bag around it when I bathe. And that also means no paddling! Boohoohoo.
Because of my cough I've already been out of action for almost a month. And now this. Sucks big time.
