This is the true story about myself. I was playing badminton and i torn my calf muscle. I got to wear a semi cast to immobilize my leg. This is my worst time in my life and really demotivated. Doctor said i need at least 5-6 weeks to recover. I got to be bed rest at least 4 weeks. I can only visit the washroom and my bedroom only. I can't do anything and i need to depend on my family to take care of me from all aspect. I feeling what a paralysed or handicap patient feels. It is hopeless and feeling very down. A simple thing going to washroom also need to depend on people. Start appreciate every simple thing in life , when you lost it you only will feel the pain.
I started sketching using cow art to communicate my action and feelings. I really lucky to have my best friends who visited me during this period to cheer me up and also chat with me on daily basis to ensure I'm OK and things will be back to normal again. Now is the 8th week and i still could not drive to work and im very lucky to have friends that i can rely to send me home. I cant wait to walk like a normal person and i can start my sport activities again. During this 5 weeks it makes me realise alot of things that you must appreciate the people arounds u and every little things that we take it for granted such as shower, walking and etc. Im glad that my best friends cheer me up on daily basis and even motivate me to be positive even though they are far away from me. No one will understand the feelings and all the things I went thru during this few weeks of nightmare. Alot of my friends said you should take this time to rest since you always have an hectic schedule. Trust me i still prefer my hectic schedule. Every day you wait for emails or messages from friends and you do not want to disturb them from their hectic schedule or u wonder hmmm who is free to chat with me today...so that you can pass your time faster. Frankly speaking i seldom watch any movie or drama during this period. NO MOOD !!
Let me story what does my moo arts means
it all started during a badminton game. My calf muscle torn n i could not walk
everyday i can only work from home, resting on my bed
when i need to see the doctor , this is the only way to climb the staircase by pushing my butt. Is really tiring.
lucky my best fren brought me a walker n i can use it at the washroom. I duno how to use crutches as i need to hop since my leg is on cast
the only exercise i can do is only lifting weight using my hand..sob. sob..
Special food delivery from my best friend.
I also watch youtube on tips to shower when your leg is being cast. How to avoid from being wet? Answer, put yr leg inside the big garbage bag n then wrap a tshirt on yr leg. Then tie the garbage bag using towel.
Till now i yet to have fully recover and thank GOD that i have great family who are willing to be my personal butler and of cos my family ban me from playing badminton. Also i have a bunch of great friends who came to provide moral support and accompany me during this pathetic period even though with their busy schedule. Really appreciate it. And of cos i miss my reunion trip with my best friends. Sob..sob..
Life is short and start appreciate your love ones and true friends. A friend in need is a friend indeed. They are willing to go the extra mile just for you. And of cos I torture them with my moo art!!!
