Good Things Come In Two's
When I was young, I have this obsession that everything has to come in pairs to be more complete. For example, if I start walking down a flight of stairs with my left foot, it is comforting if I end up on my right. If it doesn't, I would feel the urge to do something about it. And talking about stairs, it feels more natural to begin with my left foot.
Incidentally, I fractured both my feet in that preferred order, involuntarily, of course. The first was 9 years ago. The second was...yesterday! T.T
My mom caught this kitty flying near to my sister's house's window out of nowhere. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry...
And I kept thinking it was an old injury, only to realise that it was not the same foot as before. Bad memory.
So my sister took leave today and drove me to TTSH A&E to get an X-Ray. That's where I found out it was another hairline fracture. I'm now on cast. Doc said it needs to stay on for 2 months! Oh my gosh!!! I got a 1-week MC with a likely extension after a follow-up visit next Monday. I dread to think of who would have to take leave to take me to TTSH. Sigh...
Today's visit took up more time than last Tuesday's visit to Tampines Polyclinic. So ridiculous. Ironically, I wanted to go to the A&E hoping to avoid the usual 3-hour wait at the Polyclinic. Bye $90... And poor Mui. She had to drive me around. Went home to pick up a list of things like laptop, chargers, hard disk, sarong (hee...) etc. to make sure my next few days' stay at her house would be least inconvenienced, another irony (I'm the one causing the inconvenience).
A big consolation is that my beloved nephew welcomes me. Probably cos he's the only child and usually returns from school to an empty house. He's a really thoughtful person and very obliging. Yet strangely, even as a teen now, he enjoys playing with my eldest sister's 9-year old twins. What a gem! :D
Sigh...I'm going to miss watching my Band's competition this Saturday. Arrggghhhh...
