pork roast leg.. heh
Mr Aa injured his ankle during a friendly game with some uni boys here. Apparently, one of the players was a bit too rough. He slided and clammed Aa's ankle with both feet, causing Aa to over-extend his already bad ankle, sending him southward to the ground. His toes went from pink to blue and his ankle blew up to look exactly like a pig's trotter.When he got home, we did not have a ice pack. So I've placed the bag of wedges on the ankle instead. When the wedges became warm, we used the bag of prawns. Thank God for frozen, processed food and freezers!
The injury got me more worried when the swelling did not reside and it's becoming abit blue-ish (bruise). Recalling from what happened to Grandma before, I insisted that we go to get an x-ray. Thanks to Brian and Dyan, who drove us there. X-ray did not reveal any problems with his bones. So, that leaves just the soft tissues, which will take awhile to heal.
To speed up the process, we went to see Maria whom I've met early this year, for acupuncture treatment. the swell disappeared the next day. But not the pain, but at lease he can now walk :P
It is in times like this, that I'm reminded again how important making connections with people are such a necessity, especially when you are new to a place and far from 'home' ... Thank God for good and kind people around us..
