HAPPY NIU YEAR!!!

Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone!! I'm so sorry this came rather late.. Do you know what happened to me? On Saturday, as you have seen my exercise schedule, I was supposed to go swimming from 5-7 pm while my son has his badminton classes. But that day I had planned to have my reunion dinner at 7 so I thought I'd let him join the 3-5 pm class so that I could go back early to prepare for the reunion dinner. The sun was rather hot at 3 pm so I did not swim but decided to do some cycling at the gym. After 20 minutes of cycling and 10 minutes on the elliptical machine, I went to look for my son at the badminton court. I asked him to join me for a short session of badminton before leaving. Just 5 minutes into the game, as I lunged forward to catch a shot, I felt something hard hit me on my left calf. I winced in pain and turned around to see who the perpetrator was. But there wasn't any object and the next thing I felt was a very bad muscle cramp in my left calf. I collapsed on the ground and groaned in pain as I clutched my leg. I found out that I had sustained a calf sprain! (http://www.physioroom.com/injuries/calf_and_shin/calf_strain_full.php) must have torn a ligament when I lunged forward... I had to hobble back to the car.. I could not walk for the next 4 days. Luckily my sister-in-law who came for the reunion dinner that night knew a chinese physician in Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 (Blk 330) and she brought me there that saturday night. Ever since then, I have been going daily for treatment. For the first time in my life, I experienced what acupuncture is like! It's rather painful actually.


Today I wasn't able to go to school as I still could not walk properly.. But after the treatment, I feel much better and shall be returning to work tomorrow even though the doctor has given me two days of MC. I miss all of you very much, that's why! Hope you all had a great new year and look forward to seeing all of you in class :) I'd be walking rather slowly still so seek your understanding and support :) thank you!
