Oops! I did it again...

With my ankle, on my usual night run. Ironically it's just right after my running partner warned me on the uneven terrain. He might as well just put an arrow sign there that says, "To twist and hurt yourself, fall this way.". After that had to limp my way out of the running tracks onto the main road. That made me wished I was 20kg lighter so that my running partner can actually carry me like some damsel in distress in those Taiwan Idol drama. Not that he did not offer. Fortunately for him I am a very rational person who happens to weight more than 70kg. There will be two injured people instead of one if there were any carrying attempts. Sigh~

I don't even dare to take out my sports shoes until I was home. Yes I actually insisted to limp home so that I change into something less smelly before I limped my way out to see doctor. Snake are vain creatures, thus I insist to see the doctor in a more presentable fashion. Doctor just poke and suggested x-ray as I am not able to put foot down. Gosh I have to limp my way to the x-ray center. Now I know why woman can give birth.

I swear I didn't do this so that I have something to blog about.

On the next day, I went to see Chinese Sinsheh at aunty's recommendation. Sifu's clinic is called 'Shaolin' as in Shaolin Kungfu. I was quite impressed with the name and even more impressed with the Sifu. He twisted and pull my ankle two times and suddenly foot can rotate and put on ground already. Of course he caught me unaware and I actually shouted like he put 1000 acupuncture needles on my foot and pinch my inner thigh. I don't know if the shout was more of pain or surprise but he was really good. Even running partner was amaze with his powers. I think I looked quite murderous after the pull. He hasten to explain there was slight dislocation and he adjusted it back.

Looks neat but smell of herbs. Poor Moo have to smell this the whole night.

After which, Sifu bandage with herbs to reduce swelling. Today when I went back to see Sifu, I told him, no pulling anymore. Scared! Luckily Sifu said ankle healing nicely so no pulling is necessary. Best of all no need to pantang makan!

Foot, heal faster. I want to go run!!!
