Apologies To My Friends

I have dissapered from the face of the earth for... 1 week?
Complete silence.

So when Hani and Cin called up on the weekends they were suprised to find out that I have been home for a week on medical leave. So sorry >_< I could have sworn that I told someone.

It happened on Monday afternoon. My dad dropped of some work files that I needed. I was crossing the road. Keep in mind that I was 1. wearing a very loose casual black flat shoes and baju kurung (it has long skirts,) 'nuff said. Then I was putting my foot on street divider, my very loose shoes got caught in the skirt. I miss stepped and sprained my ankle and went down like a tree. Yep, skinned my knee. Thankfully, the road was strangely empty. So I lurched up and limped to my office. The whole way, all I wanted to do was sit down and cry. It hurt like the devil. So I went up to my cube and moaned silently. Hehe, still the macho one ;)

I continued with my work, of all the stupid things to do, untill I realise that I cannot feel my left foot anymore. Argh!!! I looked down and saw that my poor ankle had swelled like a ballon. *cries* No, I did not cry. I went to the fridge and took some ice to put on the injury. The swelling went down a little and because I am a wimp, I wanted a doctor. Unfortunately all the clinic in my work area was closed >_< Limping around trying to find a clinic is NOT fun. Bought a deep heat rub and went back to the office. Put something on the skinned knee.

At 5.30 pm, I took the cab to pick up my car. I was in no condition to walk that far. Picked up my mom. Mom bless her, had called the doctor ahead, so he waited for us. At the doctor's office, he pretty much wrapped my ankle and gave the meds. <3 pain killers. To my suprise, the doctor gave me 4 days medical leave. So I was off from Tuesday till Friday. *squees*

All I did the whole week was basically stonewalled my country btw naps. The meds are strong, and they make me sleepy all the time. I didn't go out of the house till Sunday, when mom wanted me to drive her somewhere. 1 week rest was bliss :) But as usual, my boss was nice enough to send work home. Blegh. Bah, tis all good ^.^

Love,
Julie. PS: Congrats on your graduation TJ :)
