My injury

today, i went for np training.. two times a day.. one in the morning and one in the evening...
in between,i still got physio therapy but it's easy for me...
tired after the whole day... non-stop perspiring..
think i sprained my ankle slightly in the morning and sprained my finger at night..
fat finger.. =(

during np training, an accident happened... we lost a speedy forward, ah pow to an injury.. he din land well after a lay-up.. grabbing his knee when he's was down.. at first i tot he was jk with us,but later i began to realise it's no laughing matter... and it's almost the same i had a yr ago... feeling sad for him.. but muz jiayou.. everything's going to be fine..

1 yr back.. i was playing the POL-ITE cup in my first yr.. was delighted to get a chance to play for ngee ann.. but this joy last for only the first three mins of the game... VS TP...

i was hit by my teammate when boxing out to get the rebound.. his leg went in hard into the side of my left knee.. the next moment, i heard an audible 'clak' sound.. something snapped in my knee... i was down on the ground grabbing my knee.. and was carried off by my mates..
i knew it was all over for me... when i try to stand up during a time-out.. my knee gave way... and i fell again...
was brought home by my fren as he stays near to me.. got a cab home cos i totally cant walk..
and at night when i slp,i had to put a pillow under my knee so i can limit my pain and slp..

the next day, when i woke up.. i had totally forgot abt wat had happened to my knee but only to feel the pain when i try to get off my bed..
went to the polyclinic by my dad's car although it was just a less than 5 min walk.. had an x ray and was referred to the SGH..

i went online to search for the injury i had and found out Michael Owen got the same injury as mine..
When the MRI report is out, it had confirmed with me tat i had a complete tear of ACL, strained MCL and a torn meniscus..
finally accepted the fact that i will need to get a reconstruction if i wan to run again..
not at all shocking maybe because i had expected it through some research abt it..
6 to 9 mths recovery period.. the worst injury i got..

went for the sugery on 2nd march, when i woke up, i am veri happy cos i knew i had fixed my injury.. used hamstring tendons as a substitution for my torn ligament..
but the road to recovery was a tough one..
start rehab as soon as i was pushed out of the operating theatre... till now..

first three months have been battling with the pain and soreness in my knee.. but was manageable for me with some pain killers and medications....
slowly, i regained my strength and start to jog and in no time i start to jump again.. but was too low for me..

now everything is fine now and i had began my np training..

biodex test- quadriceps-93%
hamstring-83%

in two weeks time, i will have another biodex test.. if both muscles exceed 95%, i can be discharged from the hospital.. =)

i wont wan this horrible injury to ever happen to me again.. i do not wan another yr of pain and sadness.. and oso i do not wish anyone to have the same injury as me.. =/

JIAYOU!
