Injury

Went to play soccer with my fellow colleagues on Monday (at last! People who share my gender and interest. No more talks about P1 registration!) Though I must admit that it's the first time in my life that I'm playing with so many ang mohs. There's even one that looks like Zidane, kid you not. 5-a-side astro-turf pitch.

The last time I played on astro-turf pitch was at FICO which is a newly set up soccer center near Boon Lay. That time, all of us had fun sliding and tackling as we cannot (dare not) do so on our normal concrete haunt. THIS time, I thought I can do the same thing too and down I went and down my right leg skin went as well. A horrible patch of whiteness and redness formed but I thought nothing of it. Played on as normal, scored a few, assisted a few and went off happily to collect my stuff when the game ends.

That's when the realisation of the seriousness began. I poured water over the wound and was immediately rewarded with a deep sting. A glistening layer was forming over the wound and it turned out later to be brown and it hardened when dry. Saw a doctor the next day and was given 2 days MC.

At last count, I've changed dressing twice and both involved tugging at the bandage and I can really feel as if the doc is peeling off my skin to reveal the furious redness underneath.

Well, I can only hope i'll recover in time for the next soccer meeting on wed. =)
