news from a temporary cripple

March 16, 2006 / 16 Comments

another day passed with me in crutches. been trying to move my leg, stretch it a little with the physio exercises, wriggle my toes, rotate my ankles, lifting it up the chair and bed.

i think its making slight progresses. the swell is quite bad. my leg really looks ugly when its fat. my mum is irritating, cos as much as i try not to think abt it, she kept harping on it. Grrr.

there is more pain in my leg now. feels aching all over. like i ran a marathon with my right leg. strengthless, even. it feels SO HEAVY cos it takes me a whole lot of effort to lift it onto the bed. biting feeling at my knee cap area. i think the stitches are beginning to heal, causing the twinge of pain every now and then.

i was quite restless the whole day. not sure what to do, no strength to do anything. tried to read, but the book’s boring. ended up napping and a terrible headache after cos i slept so much.

hmmm.. i didnt realise it, but i guess i was happy yesterday with so much company. ok, against all odds and objections, i went out to meet the LJ girls at northpoint. they insisted on visiting me at my house, which i think its such a pig sty that im so embarrassed to let them come. so, we arranged to meet at northpoint and wwenzz & zazoom fetched me in a cab from my house. i also got wei pissed off cos he made me promise him not to go out before he left me, even tho i knew there’s an outing in the evening.

he wasnt too happy about it at night, but since i was already OUT, there’s nothing much he could do but make wendy promise to bring me home in a cab afterwards.

and.. and.. i was so pleasantly surprised when meinu_yihui & unpolished_gem appeared outta nowhere! and i thought yihui was with munic when she called. mich had my favourite gerberas in her hands and i was so happy! ok. i spoilt their initial plans of throwing me a surprise at my house when they found out i was out at northpoint! ha ha. looks like i surprised them too!

despite the pain in my leg, i was happily chattering away and enjoying myself. it really didnt struck me until i read michie where she mentioned i was chirpy and happy. 🙂

so, yeah. i am not gonna be a miserable slob, since im on my way to recovery!! think positive!

and here’s some pictures of the outing.



zazoom, it was really pleasant meeting you, and ya!! u are the pretty girl i think you are! lovely!

and i hope the rest of the girls had as much fun as i had. thanks for paying me a visit. 🙂

special thanks to i_believe & kenneth in sending me back in the banana car!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
