Look Before You Kick
Clumsy me kicked on the leg of the bed…OUCCHHHHH…ADDOIIIII…….NIAMAHHH....%$@#*&^%.....and I instantly fell forward onto the bed, hands reaching out for the injured foot. OMG....my foot looked something like this…..
The fourth toe bent something close to 70 degrees towards the little toe. Seimou!…It looked so weird and on impulse, I gave it a push and I heard a soft ‘SNAP’ and the toe settled back into position. Ahh…looks as good as before. A cold compress and some Voltaren gel and then to roll it up in grib-bandage should do the trick.
Woke up this morning and I realised the foot is unable to bear my weight and there is swelling at the base of the toes. Went to the doctor's and had imaging done…oh…oh….there is a phalange fracture. Doctor’s prescription – a buddy splint and some oral medication to relieve pain and swelling and to rest the foot.
Lesson learned - 'Look Before You Kick.' And this has to happen when I am going off for a break in 11 days time. WAAAAAAAaaaaaa……….

Hi Oscar's Mummy,
Now I can walk senget-senget and not painful unless I salah pijak. The foot still cannot tahan my feipoh weight yet. Doctor said should be OK by next week but have to go slow-slow...no jumping like a monyet yet. ^0^
Thanks for your kind wishes and you have a great day too.

Adoi!!!! When I saw the bandaged toes I can feel your pain... Hope they recover before your hornyday!
Aiyah, can imagine the pain even if there was no fracture whatsoever! Hopefully you'll get well enough before the holidays. Tapi nanti time holiday kalau kaki sudah baik pun you still walk senget-sengat lah... then can still boss people around... hehehe...
get well soon!

Hope you recover soon and have a great break ahead of you
Hi Angeleyes,
It was painful but now healing well. Lucky thing past 2 days I had to attend full-day classes, so no need to walk too much. Now using slippers and I hope to be able to put on my walking shoes next week. :)

Hi Nightwing,
Still in bandage and healing well. I can walk senget-senget but have to be very careful lest someone stepped on it.
You have a nice day. :)

Hi Pi Bani,
It sure was sakiiitttsss! But I was surprised also...no tears wor? hahhahaaa....
The good doctor said it should be OK by next week but reminded me not to over-exert it...definitely no break-dancing allowed. :P And bossing people around is 'encouraged' if it aids healing. KAKAKAKAKA......
