The ordeal

The day started out okay on TUESDAY although I must admit I still cannot believe I had less than 30 minutes of PROPER SLEEP the night before, thanks to the killer assignment of 2700 words.

After COM lecture (which was the FINAL one) three girls (PT AND SF, who left midway) went to EAT at the cafeteria. Needless to say, the cafeteria as always issn't that windy or airy. So, as usual, our hang-out place would be the library.

So, off we went to the LIBRARY. Unfortunately, me being me, didn't even step into the library. Instead, I was lying on the floor ... all thanks to my shoe which got stuck in between the metal gaps of the drain cover. (Meh, so lousy punya explanation)

Was trying to adjust my shoe but crashed instead (and maybe it was because I didn't crash on MONDAY that I had to crash YESTERDAY :/)

Then, started having this monologue:

Jo Leen, you've been working too hard
Too hard for a HD in all your coursework
Time to lower your expectations
You've been SLEEPING at UNGODLY hours of the day
It's HIGH TIME YOU CHANGE all that and LOVE YOURSELF MORE

Random Monash-ians helped me up but that didn't do anything to reduce my PAIN

Suddenly, I was thinking of what happened in Form 4
Same thing, albeit it happened in class and no, no drain cover
Just that I hit my thigh and sprained my leg

The only difference between that time and this?

HELP came sooner
WAY sooner
Jackson Lee came back with the WHEELCHAIR in 10 minutes, since he insisted that the NURSE could only see me at the infirmary and not in class.
AND wheeled me down to the INFIRMARY at the speed of lightning
Within half an hour, I was already able to walk back to class using the ramp

HE was AWESOME
The infirmary was CLOSE BY
The nurse? Way friendlier and super efficient.

Well, the other time I had sth like that was back in college... and they were also QUITE okay-lah considering they at least had an INFIRMARY.

But right here? This was what happened.

Friends initially panicked
Didn't know what to do
Me? I didn't know where the infirmary was...

I thought I could at least get some spray from the infirmary (when I found out where it was)
But someone kept insisting I went to Sunway Med Ctr
Because you know IF I FALL I NEED immediate attention
But they weren't immediate enough.

Fall took place at 11.10 am
Got the wheelchair only at 11.30 am from the security people
In between had to explain to someone from student well-being
Then, bear with the pain, summore... :(

Had to climb into the van, summore.
OMG man...

Once reached they checked on me for fever and all that
Asked me about history where once again I had to repeat the same old "I have cerebral palsy" and thankfully they understood (They should.)
Had another round of ordeal in the X-ray room.
Sighhhh........

They gave me an ICE pack which was kinda a bit too late
Cuz I could feel my body telling me
If YOU wait some more, the pain is gonna kill YOU.

Man, after waiting and waiting and waiting
X-ray came out
Showed NOTHING
Thank GOD
Pls don't ask me how much I paid

See? That was WHY I said: I only needed a SPRAY
AT least, it would ease the pain a bit otw to the hospital
But, oh well...
I'm not in SRI KDU anymore :(
There's no Jackson to wheel me down to the infirmary at lightning speed anymore :(

But, thankfully, I had RACHEL and CHARMAIN who was willing to teman me to hospital :)
AND let me know I'm not alone.

Can't walk now.
If I do, the pain will come roaring back at me :(

What a perfect way to end the semester (well, friday's the last day)
And to celebrate my birthday (which is coming soon btw)
