In twisted pain

After a hard week's work, I never fail to look forward to our weekly Saturday touch rugby session down at Bishan Park. Well, my eagerness to play this week sure did not start off on the right note.

I have no idea how it all happened, but the last I remembered I was playing at the wing and my team mate threw me a long fast ball that kinda seem would have overshot me. So I think I did some weird side-step motion to reach for the ball. The ball I caught, but in the midst of it all, I landed in a really awkward position and I distinctively heard 3 cracking sounds that went 'cluck-click-cluck' during the entire process. All this happened just 1o mins into the game. Sucks big time!

Well, obviously I had to sit out for the rest of the game. Now my right ankle looks like a swollen ball all round and the pain - I've sprained and twisted my ankle countless times, but none has ever matched up to this threshold of pain. Not to mention my tolerance for pain is pretty high, I actually teared this afternoon after getting up from the couch coz it hurt so bad.

Can't really move around much at the moment coz it's way too painful. Instead, I've been rolling around the house my in study chair (kinda like those office chairs with wheels below). Lots of icing and elevation being done.

I'm giving the swelling and pain a day to subside. If it still looks bad tomorrow, I'm heading down to the hospital to get an x-ray done just to make sure it's nothing serious. Coz I'm suspecting I could possibly have some hairline fracture of the medial malleolus. Really hope it gets better coz now my biathlon training plan is all screwed up.
