Saturday, 9 July 2016/4 Syawal 1437H was a very memorable day for yours truly. At about 7 PM on that fateful day, I had a nasty fall at the back door, leading to the laundry area. The result was a VERY swollen right ankle. The accompanying pain was really unbearable. On the next night, I saw the Locum Doctor at Klinik Yap. (The delay in going to the clinic was due to the fact that someone was toooo busy to take me there). The Doctor suspected that I had fractured my ankle and asked me to go for further examination at HSA,JB . A referral letter was given.
On Monday, 11 July, Dr Leong at the A&E Clinic, HSA,JB examined me. He referred me to the Orthopaedic Department, where Dr Yong ordered that the necessary Xray be done. It was confirmed that I had two fractures on each side of my ankle. Soon after that, the temporary P.O.P was done. I had to come back for further examination and treatment at the Orthopaedic Clinic on Monday, 25 July 2016.
On Monday, 25 July, the full fibre glass cast was done. It cost me RM150.00. The next review date was fixed for Monday, 8 August 2016. Hopefully, after a month, my ankle will be properly healed and that I won't have to use the wheelchair and to hobble around the house anymore. InsyaAllah. God willing. Life during these past weeks has been difficult. Tears were so easy to come by, most times. But, despite everything, I'm truly blessed for this experience and the expensive lesson learnt, is that I have to be very careful at all times, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents and grievous hurt, in future.
