What a lllloooonnnngggg week...

You know about the serious accident that I got right? Well, I met up with the doctor last Friday (19th Jan). Initially it was bad news. I had to go for a CT scan to see if any of the nerves are damaged. Furthermore, he found 2 holes on the retina of the right eye. I was super depressed over the week or so. I mean after what he said (that I might need surgery for the fracture and laser treatment for the retina), it sure felt like a long miserable week. I went for the CT scan on Wed (24th Jan) and met up with him again yesterday (26th Jan) for my review. Thank god almighty that the fracture is isolated. Meaning that the fracture is confirmed but they're not going to do anything as it's not affecting my vision or anything like that. However, I was advised to for for laser treatment...which I did earlier this morning (27th Jan).

I haven't been able to sleep peacefully for the past week or so. N o appetite....it sure is miserable. But I'm thankful that I'm ok now. I hated that feeling of worrying 24/7.

It sure wasn't easy. I mean, it's so difficult to keep my eye open. The laser kept on beeming in and felt uncomfortable. At times, I even feel a sharp pain. It took about 15 min for the whole procedure. I'll have a follow up to see if the holes' are closed on 9th Feb. I sure hope it will be alright. It wasn't too costly...$298 which could be covered by Medisave. I just feel quite relief now. Of course a bit stress and worried about the review but much relief now. It's going to take about 6 weeks at least to be sure if the retina has patched up. As for the fracture, about 10 weeks for it to be alright. In the meantime, no soccer or contact sports for me (that's for sure). I'm not even sure for how long I'll NOT be playing soccer. I hope I can start jogging soon. I'll probably have to hit the bicycle and the gym more often for my aerobic activity. Oooooo....AFF Championship on Channel 5 now. Singapore vs M'sia. Laterz....
