Dirt on the hands: I feel like an old old man...

Dirt on the hands

Every single thing that we do are like dirt on our hands. It may not show, but it's there. At the end of the day, when the hands are washed and dried up, was getting our hands dirty worth the while? or were they just stains that needed to be washed out as soon as possible and be forgotten?

I feel like an old old man...

I hurt my back. Nothing major...just a bloody prolapsed disc! ok, it is something that might require surgery if it is really bad (which I hope I won't need). so I guess it is a bit major. Just a bit.

I've no idea how I got it specifically, I actually stopped going to the gym for a break since 2 weeks before puasa until now. I've had a slight discomfort on my left leg causing me to have no power though. That started after a company function where I joined the tug-of-war games that they did. I think that, and combine that with the extra heavy load that I tried for deadlift earlier that week might have been the cause of it. Or something.

So for close to 8 weeks, I walked around with some discomfort on my left leg, which is quite negligible since I am used to having some pain on my body constantly. The pain and the weakness on the leg was actually starting to go away around after Raya, so I actually thought it was getting better. Even so I was planning on getting some massage on the leg a week or two after Raya.

Unfortunately, last Thursday nite, while I was making some veggies, I almost fell down coz I felt a sharp pain suddenly on my left leg starting from the hip join down to just under the knee. Whenever I stand up longer than 10 secs after that it felt like someone was hitting the point just under my knee with a baseball bat repeatedly. Well the other parts between the hipjoint and the knee joint felt pain as well I suppose, they sure didn't wanna be left out, but it's not so bad.

That night I couldn't sleep of course. Try feeling like you're getting bashed up badly everytime you accidentally straightened your legs while sleeping. Not really a good way to wake up. So after 3am I couldn't sleep, so I just watched some series (can't play games, sitting upright hurts as well) til 6am, then I prayed and straight away drove to my dad's hospital.

I got checked up. Just x-rays and normal body checks. Oh hay, it was the most painful x-ray that I've ever done. The doctor actually told me to straighten my legs and touch the toes together... uhmmm yea, that x-ray session sucked.

Brb I'll continue the rest later.
