I am back, yesterday spent an extra day with my poor darling. Good news, he seems to be more mobile, coping better with hobbling around. Sat and Sun was like sad coz he couldn’t really move his right leg and he was sleeping from all the painkillers and cough mixture (yes! He had a bad cough too), so basically I was tending to a sleeping log. Hahaaa….need to help him around and get food and things still mah.

Yesterday, NUH’s orthopaedic doc gave him this thing called a Knee Ranger, was real good at providing his joint support but the damn thing cost $294! Fwahhhh….the other option was a cast but that one not removable and cost abt the same, so I guess the Knee Ranger is a better option. He is to go back next Monday for an MRI to see what’s the extend of the damage to his ligaments and meniscus. Xray can’t show you that you see…xray only confirmed that no bones were broken….well, but honestly I didn’t think it takes an xray to tell me that…I can SEE that no bones were broken what!!!! And if bones were broken, would he been able to tong soooo long??? The doc shd have just ordered the MRI for him….skip the xray??? Aiya…but hor, wo bu shi yi sheng la….so I shd just keep quiet…

Think this site on anatomy of the knee good for all to understand the many many components of the knee...i never knew! So with ref to the anatomy huh....thiamster's lateral collateral ligament and anterior crucate ligament is suppose to be torn....wahahahha such BIGGGGgggg words! here's his busted knees...both grazed...but the right knee (which is on left in the pic) is the one with the messy torn ligaments and meniscus.

His abraised arm is healing…but “leaks” a lot of eeky pus….and I think starting to itch…so the poor thing, sighhhh ….will be suffering even more soon. But one thing I learnt, this thing called 青草油 (qing cao you) very good at really drying up leaky, pus-y and messy wounds. Just drip drip drip and errr….dried up liao, however it is unbearably painful once the liquid contacts broken skin…..*faintsss*

My poor darling was very brave on Sunday night, he followed me to Lori’s place for dinner and to view her wedding pics and video. Think he was very bored to be stuck at home and not moving much. It was good too lah, with the crutches think it was good for him to move around. Here’s us on the way to lori’s place, via 2-40!... how else??

Do hope the ligament injuries are not so bad, he will be so upset if becomes to the extend he has to reconstruction his knee and to have a nagging knee problem in the years to come. No running, no acshion, he will just get upset…he said "I don't wana become like you!" hmmmmm....ok ok so i do have a little old lady syndrome...esp after 2hr movies...right knee just freezes up and refuse to move...

Yes one more thing I learnt on my day of leave yesterday while watching morning tv…did you know that the banana skin (the reverse side, after you peel the banana) can be used as a shoe polish for black and brown leather shoes?? Hahahaa…no right, this lady was demo-ing on this “How clean is your house?” show. It was hilarious, the shoe, not that the banana skin works….two Brit ladies go around tsk-ing and cleaning….hahaaa, picked up some handy tips. Another reason why I should quit and just stay home, can learn to clean house, re-deco and cook! Amazing...
