My Right Foot

Over the last two months or so, I had noticed a little cyst like growth on the ball of my foot. It's rather benign but because of where it is, it is uncomfortable (does not really hurt) and restricts my activities ie. I could not run or play tennis or exercise.

So today, I went to SGH and had it cut out. A day Op that I have no intention of recalling the details of. It was scarier than I thought it should have been. I hate hospitals and operating theatres where you can hear the patient next door groan in pain and only to have the nurse tell them that they are high on drugs.

Anyway, the anaesthesia is wearing off an I've popped a couple of pills of mefanemic acid to keep the pain at bay.



Am on hospitalization leave for 4 days but I'm actually fine. The bandaged foot is more an inconvenience than anything. Sigh.

5 crazy ideas:

Ouch! Hope you are okay now... what was it anyway? I think I have the same thing, hahaha... (excuse for not exercising...)

Am okay. Can't drive so am trapped at home with FB and Blogspot to keep me occupied.

It was some cyst or soft tissue thing. Not painful but was terribly inconvenient.

Got 4 days hospitalization MC tho. Haha. OMG, what am I going to do trapped at home for 4 days!!!

this would be a good time to clean house and get stuff delivered. :)

So poor thing, can't you even hobble around with a crutch/umbrella/walking stick?

You got food anot? I can deliver if you want hehehe. Surely if you're driven you can hobble from the car to the restaurant at least, haha.

yah. did get some deliveries done.

i can hobble around. no problem. but i can't really go out cos i got no footwear. and walking around with a plastic bag around my foot is decidedly unglam.

i can't really drive tho. my friends brought dinner for me yesterday. will probably order takeout today.
