So amazing of me that just by standing, I was able to twist my ankle!

Ordered McDonalds on Monday to satisfy a Big Mac craving. As I opened the door to the delivery boy, my right ankle twisted. Now, this happens alot to me but the pain usually subsides in minutes. Not this time.

Ben brought me to a TMC clinic, Siah Ah Cheok Chinese Sin-Seh, located at Paya Lebar the next day for treatment as it was definitely twisted!

Daddy Siah released tension in all my 5 toes before he proceeding to gua sha my foot! Ignore the fact that my ankle was bruised and twisted already, he 'cracked' my ankle! I went to Heaven and back with an extremely painful descend. He then applied some medication and bandaged my ankle up.




I'm not supposed to get it wet so to shower, I'm going to have to elevate it. How? I'm technically supposed to sit on a stool and place my right leg up on another stool so that water will not drip downwards. Seems easy enough? Not when this is the size of the shower cubicle!




Easiest alternative is to refrain from showering. :X

2 days later, I returned to the clinic for a follow-up and was treated by Daddy Siah's daughter, Regina. Thank goodness! Daddy Siah could only converse in Mandarin and Hokkien, both of which I'm terrible at (do not judge me!) but Regina spoken fluent English and I was greatly relieved. She tended to my poor ankle then my aching back We had a great chat! :D

I shared with her my lack of personal hygiene the last 2 days and that I was looking forward to taking a nice long hot shower after the treatment. To my dismay, she bandaged my ankle and said to keep it on for another 2 days! Of course, she advised me on how I should shower without getting the dressing wet... again.

Now, its Saturday and I've removed my dressing and taken a well-deserved hot shower! RELIEVE!

My ankle's still slightly swollen and very very bruised though it was totally purple before hahaha!



It still hurts when I walk or even stand. I'm hoping that it will heal itself soon enough. :)
