Current Music: Lucky - Ashily.
Things can be really ironic in life, don't you think? When one thing caused you to be in such state, it can be the only thing you are left with sometimes...
If only I hadn't participated in that lifesaving competition, things won't be in such state. And I won't be facing such problems. My first lifesaving competition ever, and it had became my last competition for lifesaving too...
My back ached up again. And when I meant again, I meant it that I had already been to the doctor last week and I had to go back again yesterday...
I'm currently still on MC. For two days, to be exact. Because I couldn't move my legs yesterday morning for a period of 15 to 30 minutes. That feeling was really quite scary. Imagine, you were getting ready to go to work. And when you were about to go snooze your alarm, you realized that you can't move your legs at all. That memory was still quite taunting. It was only until a while, 15 to 30 minutes I guess, that I could move again.
Rang Jasmine up, to tell her that I can't meet her and why. Called Jay to tell her what happened exactly, and Pei Zhi to tell her I'm not going in for work that day.
Managed to go to my previous doctor for my back. And he mentioned something that sent shivers down my back. The last time I went to see him regarding my back was 30th June 2008. This period of time too but last year. And this pattern occurred not only last year and this. But my every back injury. Not that I had appointment every year, but that my back would always act up severely every year.
Fell down very severely when I was in Primary Four, in the toilet. I was already ready to go visit the doctor that very day when I sat on a faulty chair with wheels. And again I fell on my back, resulting in me not able to move. I remembered Dad and Mom being very anxious, rushing me to the doctor.
From then on, my back had been acting up. It was only until last year's lifesaving NUS Invitational that I reinjured it severely again. I can't bend, my walking posture was awkward, and I can't even sleep properly.
This time round? Was the spotter for a really heavy man while he was doing abseiling. And OMG, he was already reaching the ground and he had to jump again! I was holding him already, so when he jumped, the force was on me, on my back. Ready to see the doctor again when I fell in the toilet after washing my clothes. Seriously WTH to the maxxxxx.
Had to go see the doctor again yesterday was because that unable to move my leg incident. The doctor said that because something was pressing against my nerves. That's why I couldn't move for a period of time. Most prolly because of the long period of sitting in the office.
He too said that I can't do any more exercises. Only one. Which would bring good benefit to me. Swimming. I'm only left with swimming. Hah. How ironic right? Swimming was the one which caused me to reinjure it so severly that I can't do anymore exercises for three months last year. And now, I'm only left with swimming as a sport.
But thank god swimming wasn't stripped away from me. Else I really had no idea what I could do, have no idea what I would do.
Left with two more months till my IIP would end. I can still continue doing my duties such as kayaking, belaying etc. But I should expect more of such incidents, the numbing effect I meant. Ways to counter? Rest more after such activities. Sighs, I guess that would be what I should do now.
Sigh. Don't know for what reason, I'm feeling kind of lost. Sheesh.
She wished to go up the ferris wheel @ 5.07.pm.
