The 'Elephant'

What is the 'elephant'?

Yours truly's current condition of her leg.

'Elephant' enough? Yea. This is the 'elephant' as mentioned in my title. As seen in the picture above, that is what I got from spraining the ankle. I would say this is the worst in my entire life. Never have I gotten such 'huge' leg from spraining.

The incident occurred yesterday in the evening where I missed a step and 'prakk'. There goes my normal leg. It was so hurtful yet I was able to walk right after I twisted my ankle. But it got worse after my dinner in Manhattan F.M.. Could it be due to the cold drinks that I took plus the seafood I ate? I'm not sure about those. Then, later at night, JaniceMonteith drove me to my cousin's place and from there we took of to USJ8 to see a doctor. Not a good doctor but I have no choice as there's no other late doctors. Never mind, to kill the pain, I had to take painkiller for a better sleep at night.

My biggest concern here is how am I going to attend classes on Monday? I have class from 8am until 4pm. How am I going to move from one class to another in the given time? How am I going to walk from the car park to the auditoriums/lecture halls? Anyhow I cannot skip this cause it's my first ever lecture as an undergraduate. I can definitely still drive as I'm driving an automatic car and it was my left leg that I sprained. My problem is walking! WALKING! Oh my... And I have a friend who suggested to me to use a wheelchair to move from class to class. I'd prefer crutches if I have to choose between those two options.

With such a leg right now, I have problems in buying food for lunch and also dinner. I can't really rely on my friends as they are busy with their own life as well. I can't be bugging them to buy food for me. They are not even responsible for my situation.

And this is how it looks like from the side view. The bruise seems serious. I have this sudden urge to amputate my leg. =S I know it's stupid and I'm not gonna do it cos this will eventually heal. I'm not going to sacrifice a foot just to attend class. BUT! I WILL attend lectures on Monday FOR SURE.
