First OP!!
Now... where should I start? It's been quite some time since I've blogged. I guess blogging has become my way to vent or complain and act like a stuck up princess in my own world. LOL... Tonight, however, it is to calm myself before the minor operation tomorrow.
It all started with my left hip. I think I twisted it once in high school but it healed after going to see a physio. Then I got another twist in the same area because I lifted some heavy stuff. I thought "time can heal everything" but apparently it does not apply to physical injuries so I went to see a massage therapist. Did some painful things like 拔罐, (known as fireglass cupping?) and the hip pain was gone. BUT it didn't last. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if the pain REALLY went away or the pain that was inserted onto my body made me forgot the hip pain. HEH...
After that, I fell down while carrying a crate of soft drinks when I was working at me mum's shop. Then my friend recommended that I go to this other "sifu" who's treated many athletes' leg, hip and other injuries. I went, it was successful but again it only lasted for 2 weeks. Did not go to see him again but gradually, I felt like the pain was getting worse so I went again. This time, the pain was quite intense that I had some trouble sleeping...
Been experiencing this for awhile but I disregarded it and I went swimming, joined Aikido lesson to burn my FATS. Also went for a badminton session wif my groupies and that was when my right leg started to have this numbness and tingling sensation. My good friend told me that she had some pretty serious injury as a kid and this "sensei" helped her recover and recommended I try it. So I did. Went for a few sessions and my left leg felt much better after the 2nd session. BUT this was not the case for my right leg. The numbness continued and it got worse. Now it hurts when I am standing and even more when I am sitting down.
This morning I went to see the doctor again (because he went home even though I had a 430pm appointment with him yesterday) and he said that I need to do a MRI scan so he can identify specifically what's wrong with me. He did perform a test on me by asking me to lie down on my back and then lifting up my right leg until it was almost 90 degree. The pain was so intense. He then told me that my hunch was right. My nerve is pinched by something.
AND that was how I spent my whole morning at the hospital. My first time getting a MRI scan and I fell asleep during the scanning. HAHA... Thank GOD I woke up before it was done or else it would have been EMBARASSING!!! Then when the doctor saw my films, he said:"Aiyo, your bone is out of place, and the last intervertebral disk is degenerative and because the disk cracked, the inner gel like substance leaked which caused a bulge and narrows the canal for my spinal nerves." That was the reason I'm getting all those painful signals from my nerves.
So the conclusion is that I need to go for a minor operation tomorrow morning... to be honest, I feel nervous and afraid of what will happen tomorrow. I guess it shouldn't be something that I should be worried about but I still am fretting about it. I really am such a brat. Small kids undergo MAJOR operations everyday and I don't see them complaining. I should SUCK it up! Be a man! Wait... I'm not a man, but whatever... Just believe that Jesus will be there to accompany me!! =) PLUS, what HE went through for all my sins is WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY MORE painful than whatever mine is going to be! PRAISE THE LORD!
WOW... I just wrote a novel about something that is so negligible. Gotta stop whining and brace myself! Gonna try to record one more song cover. =P Hope it comes out good....
TTFN!
