Its been 5 days since my operation, and its been 5 days my right have been helplessly handing off that bulky "camera bag" look alike sling. let me just briefly recap on my past few days spent with this "changed" life.
Friday, the day after my operation, woke up with still a little tingle from the GA effect. but was much better compared to thurs. Right arm was huge as i slowly peeled off the shirt, the entire swell and my right arm was twice the size of my left. Did take the pain killer before heading out of the house. You guys must think that I must be the craziest person on earth, going out the day after an operation. As a matter of fact, staying home made me feel really cranky, so better to head out before I exploded at pple unneccessarily at home. First stop, to town to pay a visit to my "ex colleagues". Thou its only been 2 days that I stopped working, but seeing them already bring back some memories from the past month. Apart from that was also to collect my pay. After which, met up with Adeline, Wai Leng, and Sherine, for what I thought was a movie outing, turn out to be purely a shopping trip. Was out to find something for Wai leng rather then myself, as she had a wedding to attend coming fri. But didn't fail to spot a good deal from levis sale corner, located in Wistma Isetan, just besides Mango. Jeans are going from $15 to $119, yes you didn't see wrong, $15 LEVIS jeans... haha where to find? but due to my bulky baggage, I gave it a miss. FYI its till the 8th of march...so any big fan of levis... can check it out lah! hehez... After shopping with them, when down to meet herbert and gang for li hao's birthday @ the Loof, kinda cool, haha and as a tradition, the birthday boy never walks out of the place. Everyone made it home in one piece. Thank god.
Saturday, was again feeling bored not doing anything at home, so head out to chong pang, and get a "hairlift" (as like a make over for my hair). Didn't do very fanciful stuff, just got it highlighted... still figuring out how to style it thou... its difficult enough with 2 hands not to mention now with only 1. By the time I am done, was thinking of heading down kallang to see the dragonboat pple, but it started raining, so it kinda washed off that tot and I headed home in a cab instead. Watched the Prestige alone in my room. Enjoyed it.
Sunday, had my day pretty much planned out, head out to suntec in the afternoon for the career fair, to find out more of the course of my interest for uni, done enough bumming around, time to get my brain back to work. After which, head down to town again, to see the change of guards parade, as my band is playing in it. Was pretty good I must say. One of the parade I miss dearly after leaving the band. After that, headed down to auntie evelyn's place for a little family get together. Crowd seems to be getting smaller every year. but hey, since its an occasional event, i guess i did enjoy it in one way or another.
Today, nothing much happen, went back to the hospital for a follow up on my operation, everything seems to be well. As expected, there will be more follow ups and also physio to help me move my shoulder again. No sports for the coming 6 to 9 months.... wonder how I am going to survive. Seems like there isn't gonna be any medals for me this year at dragonboat! DAMN!!! But honestly I believe in myself, so let see how things goes, love the feeling of the gold around my neck. Meanwhile, have been slacking since before the operation. The layer around my waist seems to be pilling, and looking in the mirror is not that enjoyable anymore. A plan is in the process of construction before I declare a state of emergency on myself. Haha its that serious.
Yup that is so far the things I have accomplished since my operation. Haha not too bad for a 'temp handicap' eh? hehe, my movement might not be as fast, but well, since I am having the time in the world to wait for healing, I am just taking this time to really understand life as a handicap, and also how inconvienent it can be to lose one of the major tool on ur body suddenly. Slow road to recovery, but trying to make it a fufilling one... wish me luck pple.... hehe.. Cheers!
