Nowadays, I have been so busy with my school project plus I need to go back regularly to the hospital for appointment. Since I came back from the hospital, I never went to school for 2 days. At first, I had not intending to skip classes as this was my last semester but the doctor had given me 2 weeks of medical leave so I never went to school for only two days. During the first day I went back, I had a lot of inconvenience as my right hand was painful and I could not do anything. Simple things like making a cup of coffee, washing the dishes, carrying things and many other works are too difficult tasks for me. even when taking a bath, my mother had to wrap the plastic around my hand to cover my hands from being wet. I also had hard time wearing the clothes by myself. I was also doing some simple hand exercise for every 2 hours and it hurts so much for the first time. I was also tired for the first few days after the operation and I slept a lot. I felt so helpless using one hand only to do things but luckily it is my right hand which was injured because I always do things using the left hand. On thursday, my two primary school friends, Kelvin and Daniel visited me. although we have not met for quite a few years and have only contacted just recently with each other, but we are quite close to each othter. we also have many topics to talk about n i feel happy to have such friends since i have not many closer friends.  Kelvin, Daniel n mi As I was too bored staying at home and I did not want to miss any lesson, I decided to go to school on Friday. At that time, I needed to wake up earlier than before as I will need to ext that time, I needed to wake up earlier than before as I needed to do hand exercise. My mother also woke up, helping me to make a cup of coffee for me and wrapped the plastic around my hand because I always took a bath before going to school. And when I went school, I needed to wear the splint. I found that it was inconvenient and scared that they will bump into me especially when I took mrt where the place was too crowded. When I entered the class, my classmate asked me what has happened to me and asked me to take care. When the business finance facilitator came in, she saw my hand and when I told about the operation, she was quite scared to see the wire that was in my thumb. When I was using the laptop, it is inconvenient that I could only use one hand and I typed very slowly. At one time, she asked me “why your hand keeps saying good?” as my right thumb was in a face up position. Then I laughed. Although her words may seems to others that she was making fun of me, I never take it to heart as I believe that she was trying to make the class laugh. When it was lunch time, I had lunch with my wushu friends. I told them what actually happened to me and they were too shocked that how a ball could fracture my thumb. And one of my best friends saw that, he quickly asked me who the one kicked so hard and injured my thumb. At first, I kept saying that I could not say the name out as I did not want to cause trouble for the one who injured my hand. But after several times of forcing me to say, I finally said out the name. haha, cannot tell you all… then my friend asked me if I intended to get the person to pay for my medical fees but I said nope. I knew that he meant me well but I didn’t want to cause any trouble. Anyway, I also can claim the medical fees from the school. And so we went back to individual classes. After school, I went straight home and did not go wushu. The next day, as I usually went to the cousin’s home to play X-box with him, but since my thumb have not recovered, so I did not go. For the next three weeks, I have been doing the hand exercise whether at home or in school. Every week, I must go to the physical therapy to see the doctor once. After 2 weeks from the operation date, I went to the clinic to remove the bandage and cut the wire. Initially, I thought it was pain because my mother said that the nurse will pull the wire out but luckily, the nurse cut the wire away. Then I went to see the physical therapy doctor, she said that I must try to move the thumb. When I move my thumb, I simply have no strength to bend and it hurt. I also went to see the surgery doctor for review. He said that I must continue to put on the splint until I have recovered.  my injured thumb Then it came to 1 week holiday. I found that it was too short as I need to go back to school to do FYP. I also needed to revise my modules to prepare for UT. At one night during the holiday, my school facilitator who is in-charge of wushu IG, he msn me and asked me who the one injured my thumb and I told him as he said that it was too serious. At that time, I was too shocked that now the matter had already spread to the facilitator’s ear and afraid that the matter will blow out. After 1 week of holiday, school reopens. As we have lunch time normally at the canteen, the in-charge facilitator asked me to go over to his table. He told me that someone has actually demand the medical fees from the one who injured me on my behalf and his parents were too angry with the incident and he asked me whether I knew about it. At that time, I knew that the matter has already blown up. and of course, I said no. although I did say that I was going to claim the medical fees from school, I never thought of demanding the medical fees from him. The facilitator asked me whether I knew the person who spread the rumour. At first, I said no as I was afraid that the matter would become more serious and I did not want to harm my friend, but that friend said nevermind and asked me to say it was him. and he said that it must be someone who has heard his conversation and demanded the medical fees. And I told the facilitator. But since then, I did not see my that friend for a week. I do not know whether he was angry with me or what. But I really do not want to lose him as a friend because of that incident. Last Wednesday, I went to see the physical therapy doctor. She told me that I must try to bend my thumb as possible. But every time I try to bend my thumb, I had no strength to bend and so I have to use force using another hand to bend my thumb down. And she said that I was not needed to wear the splint anymore except when I am sleeping. It was so painful every time I bend my thumb and I guess that I need to wait for at least 6 months to recover. Now my thumb can at least do some simple task already and my thumb can bend little bit le. And the appearance of the wound has almost gone off. very sian… that I need to do hand exercise every two hours. It happened that I have 2 UTs last week and I needed to answer the questions and typed using one hand on the laptop. Although I typed very slowly, I almost answered all the questions and I found that the papers were ok to me. Haha… type so much at one time and hopefully my thumb will recover soon. |
