Yesterday i went for my appointment at PPUM for my feet x-ray scan and ultrasound scan. My ultrasound scan was conducted by visiting a Doctor from the states (USA), he was working with patients at PPUM for a month long clinical attachment. This is his final week in PPUM, and upon completed my ultrasound scan, he found a small tear in my ligament in the area of plantar fasciitis (precisely my left heel). The doctor assured me not too worry as i do not need surgery for this injury – glad to hear that doc. I just need conventional recovery that’s all, stretching exercise and rehabilitation.
After the ultrasounds session, i check myself into rehabilitation clinic at PPUM – just besides the Sports Clinic. There, i spend about an hour doing physical recovery, spend 15 minutes lying while the doctor put red light treatment on my feet, then another 15 minutes on a machine that produce a mild electric shock to my left feet and finally spend 15 minutes on balancing board (to strengthen my feet). This is soo booring..mmmm can’t wait to run again. I need to attend this session once a week until i fully recovered, anyway the doctors and nurses was nice and gave me a lot of encouragements, it’s funny for someone like me who hate going to hospital now spending so much time in it. Peculiar thing is there’s no longer certain “Hospital Smells” in Hospitals nowadays, wonder why? Always hate that smells, that’s why i stayed away from Hospital.
Now to focus on recovering …..hope to come back stronger!
lol .. recovery first bro. maybe the hospitals uses a new smell. no longer the usual dettol smell. so now you should like going back to do the rehabilitation ya hehe. how much longer do you need to do this until its fully healed?
ReplyDeletetheres more run to come afterwards. jgn risau. kalu kaki kaput lagi lah sedeh. speedy recovery. jgn usha nurse tu lebeh2 okeh? hehe.. lets do our training for SCKLM together2 bila dah okay nanti?
