Scratch And Whine
Just one day after putting on the cast, my foot itched so much I had to have it removed, scratch, apply cream on it before putting it back again. Thank God it's just a half cast (90 degrees under my calf and feet). The thing about an itch is, the more you scratch it, you can't stop instantly. The affected area gets bigger, in fact. It would have probably been better if I had left it as it is.
How to 'dong' until it's time to remove it for good? I think really have to get it changed and ask for anti-itch medicine...but I don't think there's such a thing, oral medication for itch.
The other thing about itch is...it's easy to give in cos you really don't know if it's worth enduring it. It's like what if it's never gonna go away? Why not an earlier release? Instant gratification ;P
Moving around the house is aided by my nephew's swivel wheeled chair. Sometimes I would sit on it and use my good leg to paddle...like stone age Flinstones, haha. Sometimes I'd put the knee of my injured leg on the chair and 'skate' on it. It's cheap thrill for an otherwise frustrating period. It won't last long for sure. I'm already feeling I'm imposing on people around me. Helpless and burdening.
Wai Wei and Yani came to visit me today with a box of chicken wings. Half was from Indonesia, brought back by Yani, our Indo member of the Worship Ministry. The rest were local. They left just before dinner and the wings were more than enough for dinner for me, mom and the family.
I want to go home asap.
