[Saturday, 07 October, 2006] The haze was so bad that when I woke up I felt uncomfortable. My eyes were tired and I started to cough a little. There was also irritation in my nose. I went near the windows to see magnificent view of the haze. The buildings far away were blurred. There was …

Updates of Leg Condition
As my mum helped me to redress the wound before she went to sleep, there was still discharge as usually at the lower part of the wound and it was dried again. I intended not to dress the wound anymore to save money and also to air it, however my mum was afraid I might …
A complaint letter
[Wednesday, 27 September, 2006] Gilbert had rectified my language and contents of a letter written in rage; it had somehow demoralised me but definitely made me realise how incompetent I was. He prompted me with many questions and left the final editing to me. In the end, I did not send it to the officials …
Simple life, simple food
I have been chewing on very plain food for more than a week. At first was all porridge until I questioned my mum, she changed it to rice. Actually, I am quite enjoying this life because at least I am eating all healthy food; I used to eat oily takeaway food daily. There is no …
The pain continues
After more than a week of careful dressing, there is still discharge and blood on the lowest portion of the wound. It is disgusting to imagine how deep the wound is. My mum has bought various medical items (antiseptic, dressing, tape, Chinese medicine… etc) just for the wound; each night before she goes to sleep, …
A painful sleep
I had a very hard time dozing off. I tried all positions and even not let the calf touch anything, it still hurt. It was a feeling of my inner calf tearing apart. The pain was indescribable but it recited the beginning of cramps; the irritation caused fears as well. I woke up many times …
First physiotherapy after operation
[Monday, 25 September, 2006] I was shocked to see the appointment date on the paper for my physiotherapy during the weekends as I keyed the date into my website’s calendar. The nurse told me it was a Monday but the calendar showed it was a Tuesday. I checked the date of my computer and finally …
Leg injuries and the lump on calf
I am surprised when some people mistake the operation is for my “leg” injury which I am always talking about. It is indeed part of the injuries, which all the doctors have indirectly made me neglect about, but I always thought only the knees were crucial. My injuries include the most serious back injury, loose …
Painful days
The progress to recovery is somehow not a sweet and simple journey. The pain resumes and I hate the feeling greatly. At least, it is better than the first two days at home when I could feel the muscle shrinking back after stretching, the ghastly feeling disheartened me so much. Lying down is always more …
Farewell to the fun and sorrowful place
[Friday, 22 September, 2006] After sleeping for two hours, I woke up suddenly with Yixin and Cecilia by my side. Yixin was laughing craftily as they walked off. I was not sure did they do anything to wake me up or I just felt the danger and got up to save myself. With the frame, …
