I know i can be really clumsy. Few months back, i stepped on a hair clip and it pierced my feet. Imagine pulling out a hair clip from your feet… And today, my leg got stuck between my bed. When i pull my leg out, i could feel something scratching my feet. Initially, i thought it was a small cut. Taking a closer look, i saw a long stretch of white skin. I touched it and i could almost feel my bone. It was then i realised that a metal piece had scraped some skin off my feet. Shocked and confused, i screamed for my mum. By then, blood started oozing out from the wound.
I know i’m so troublesome. On a Sunday morning, Mum and sister had to accompany me to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
We were required to wear masks. Haha. My mum looked like a ninja :)
I’m having cough for about of month already. Because of that, they transferred me to an isolated area for those with fever. No one is allowed to accompany the patient. So, my mum and sister went shopping while i sat there all alone.
When my name was called out, the nurse asked my purpose of visit. She thought i was having fever or something. At first, i told her i fell down and hurt my feet. Then…when i told her i’m having cough for a month already, she was like, “Huh? 1 month?!!!” I was asked to take urine test and x-ray to confirm that i wasn’t having H1N1. I guess they were more concerned about my cough than my bleeding feet! In the first place, i’m there for the purpose of my feet. Not for my cough!
After taking x-ray of my lungs, the nurse cleaned my wound. She used some kind of stretchable plaster to close the gap between the wound. Its similar to stitching but without using thread and needle. I swear, i would cry if she did sew my skin together.
Before i left, the doctor told me my lungs are fine. So, i’m not infected with H1N1. I was given an injection, medication and 3 days MC. By the time everything was over, i was feeling damn hungry. I had double cheeseburger, fries, durian puff, Old Chang Kee fried chicken and porridge at one go. I’m such a pig.
Anyway, i know my bed looked harmless.
Look closely…
Thats the metal piece that scraped my skin off my feet! and it all happened because my leg was stuck in between that gap! When i met boyfriend for dinner in the evening, i can’t help it but to show him my “pitiful” face. That was to win his sympathy vote. haha. What a day!
