Medical appointment

So yesterday i left camp at 0730 to go for my medical appointment in NUH. I was going to see this bone doctor(i think its called a ortheopadiec) for my back and elbow. Its not that i want to fake anybody, ya know, holding my lower back and scrunching up my face when manpower is needed to carry stuff or to sweep the floor. I had a genuine pain in my back and had to do something about it. After some tests and checks, he suspected that i might have a slipped disc.... so i was sent to do an X-ray. Up in the radiologist's place, i was made to strip and wear this horrible borrible green hospital gown that opens up at the side till your waist, it does not feel sensual or sexy in any way.


X ray didnt show anything to my back, but for the elbow, it did show that my elbow had been fractured before. As far as im concerned, i never knew that my elbow had been fractured before.. oh well, maybe my mom dropped me when i was a little kid and she heard a twig snap, and assumed that the crying was just for the fall and nothing else. (i seriously have to stop blaming my parents for stuff).

So the specialist referred me to another specialist that was more specialised in the specialization of the spine.(try saying that when you're drunk) and i was made to go for 6 weeks of physiotherapy. Now this might be fun! i keep having this image of some really nice lady*winks* making me move.
"oh it hurts? im sorry! i'll be more gentle.."
"see if you can push youself away from the floor with only one elbow. hold me with the other arm.."

but i expect that image to be shattered on tuesday when i actually go.

going to meet up with some class people for jo's farewell now!! cya..
