OouUuCcCHhHh!!!
Sprained or shld i say twisted my left ankle while i was running back, during my IPPT Training yesterday. It wasn't really painful initially, until after lunch where the pain really started 2 come in. I had great difficulty walkin & to add on 2 it, it was raining pretty heavily as i was abt the head home. Had no choice but 2 slowly walked or shld i say limped 2 the bus stop. Everytime i took a step on my left feet, it hurt like hell. Hence, i had to depend entirely on my left feet for support, which was very strenuous. Luckily, 2 of my camp-mates accompanied in the rain, otherwise i wld feel very embarrassed, limping in the rain alone.

Went to the polyclinic to see the doctor today, since it was free for NS men. It was a pretty long wait as usual, due to the large crowd. I hve 2 admit tht it is very cheap 2 visit the polyclinic as compared 2 visiting private clinics. H/e the waiting time is simply too long. There are so many elderlys there who visit it due 2 it's cheap consultation fees. By the time it's your turn, you wld feel even more sick than before, at least tht's wat i think. Sometimes i wonder how they are able 2 provide such services at such low prices. I mean the medicine do cost sth, don't they? Anyway, the doctor gave me 4 days MC & prescribed me pain-killers + a cream 2 apply on the injured part. Not bad for my 1st time reporting sick ever since i enlisted into NS huh? Hehez. Honestly speaking, i think tht visitng Chinese Sin-Sehs wld be a better choice, for sprains or fractures etc. The only reasons tht i visited the polyclinic was becauz it was free & i had 2 produce MC 2 cover up for my absence frm camp. Otherwise, i wld hve visited the Sin-Seh immediately, instd of wasting my time queueing up in the polyclinic. Besides, the doctor didn't even do anything to my feet, jus took an X-Ray & helped me bandaged it up w/o applying any medicine to it at all, which proves tht fact the visiting Chinese Sin-Sehs wld be a better choice. Mayb tht's why the fees are so cheap.

Headed to the Chinese Sin-Seh in the late afternoon, which i was very scared, since i heard tht it wld be pretty painful cauz they twist your injured part back to it's original position, tht kinda thing. Was perspiring profusely while i was there, partly becauz of the hot weather & me being a little frightened. Initially i thought tht there wld be pple screaming or shouting becauz of the pain, but 2 my surprise, there wasn't any at all. Mayb the pple were able 2 withstand the pain, since most of them were older than me, i thought. When it was finally my turn, i was thinking of how embarrassing it wld be if i was the only one who shouted. Nevertheless, i headed into the room & was so nervous tht the Sin-Seh had 2 ask me 2 relax so tht he cld do wat he's planning to do. In a flash of a moment, he did his thing & i didn't even felt a single thing. Tht relieved me a little. He did it a 2nd time, wth a crack sound tis time round, but i didn't feel a single pain at all. A third time & it was done. All my worries were for nothing. He applied some medicine & wrapped my leg up. Now, i still hve difficulty walking ard but it feels slightly better. Hve 2 go back for another visit on Sun though. Shall post more stuff later on cauz i'm not really comfortable typing now. My body's all sticky & stuff, which makes me feel very un comfortable & dirty. Need to take a shower, which i think wld be very troublesome since i won't be able 2 wet my left ankle at all. HaizZz....
