cripple ol me
It all started on monday when I woke up from my bed, I felt this sharp horrendous pain on my right thigh.....didn't feel like a muscle strain...I thought it could be a neurological problem. I could not move my right leg to the full range of motion without cringing.
On my way to work, I was walking like an old man. I was walking with a gait and I was in pain. But still I made my way to work. I thought the pain would subside in 1 or 2 days.
Come tuesday, while working I could not even step on the pedal without cringing.....my thigh was immobilised....I would say self immobilised. I didn't dare to move it much....
Worried ol me decided to self medicate with deep heat spray and those patches. They did help a little but the underlying problem is still is present.
I started becoming paranoid and thus I googled about rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative bone disease. Alas I decided to see a doctor to calm myself down. Dr Martinez mentioned that if the pain ensues, I would have to see an orthopaedic doctor. She prescribed me diclofenac and anarex.
Today, I felt much better at work. While working, I felt drowsy and nauseating, my head became light and I wanted to puke. Little did I know that anarex makes one drowsy until today......The little prescription packet had a note saying to avoid machinery...what an irony...lol
The signs of aging seem to be upon me....I can't deny that I will be 30 years old in 4 years time.....

adios albeit belated
adios Sherin.......and Alvin
thank you for the many years of friendship
wishing you 2 all the best in Sweden and may you please come back as soon as possible.....
We are already missing you.
on another note......
did my first call last sunday in the A&E department at SGH.....had my fair share of mild cases and emergency cases. Thank God that I was spared after 10.30pm....and of course without any spooks.....pretty certain that oms is not the way for me to go....too bloody and too painful......I cringed when I was trying to feel for the crepitations on the patient's broken nose.........
peace...
