so you guys should know what's the deal with me... yes, i screwed up my knee because of doing a perfect split jump... that so totally prove that perfect is not always good...
okay so right now I am in indonesia and just finished my 2nd dose of shock therapy-cum-massage. i don't really know how to translate it well, but in bahasa it's called urut. anyway, now i can actually walk, well i have been able to walk since the first one. but now ifeel much better. although it still hurts in the area where the doctor bandaged. apparently he told me to bandage it to prevent swelling and i did it too tightly, so now it still hurts.
so you want to know how it feels to go through shock therapy. well, from the name you should probably guess how it's done. a low voltage shock is passed through the affected area for quite some time to allow it the muscles to relax. then the person will some what massage it to mend the muscles-sort of. there are also times when higher voltage is passed and your muscles will cramp and starts to move about. what i was told is that the muscles are rearranging themselves. miraculously, all that worked without knives and needles through my skin and muscles. now i can walk, though i still limp because of that bandage thingy, but the good thing is that i can walk... yippy...
also being back in indonesia is great because I am in an environment which i love. although not healthy, but i enjoy the atmosphere here. also i get to meet my siblings and catch up...yippy... apparently, my mom is coming next week and i don't get to see her... sad.
oh, i got to eat at this place called sour sally. it's a yogurt place and you can add all sorts of toppings for a cheap price, unlike in singapore... not too bad for the first try, i recommend you to try when you are here
