A Story To Tell

 Here I come to this blank page. Got a story to tell.

Nice to have so much time to just sit. Do I like it. Not a privilage really but forced to. Always on the go doing things but now most activities have to stop. 

What got me into this is because I was stubborn. I don't listen to friends and the most bad thing is I don't listen to my body. 

I am inflicted with a muscle tear. The calf muscle. The feel is like you patah kaki. Very painful. Can't walk can't move.

The pain was terrible. If I had listened to my doubles partner that we should stop when I first felt the sharp pain in my calf it wouldn't have been so bad. I defied because we were catching up on points. The excitement of tennis made me ignored the pain that was creeping in. We stopped when I could no longer bear the pain.

So I watched them play from the court side. After 15 minutes or so I got up was so shocked that couldn't even stand. My left leg hurt terribly. 

 Friends helped me to the car. What a havoc I created. I distracted players in other courts. you see I am fat and heavy chubby 😉 so quite difficult to drag me to the car. Amidst pain there were yells and laughters, thinking back, it was hilarious. Can't forget that moments. Yea I have friends.

Back home this old lady cried like a child. No pain killer only pannadol at home. No one to take me to the hospilal. 

But then what can they do. I know only time can heal.

May be I forgot . I am no more young any injuries take a long time to heal. I am already down for six(?) weeks.

The other day I tried to walk without the walker I stumbled and injured my toe.The physiotherapist opined that there may be a fracture, the bruise is still there so many days since the incident.

So here I sit. The walker beside me. 

Sometimes i play the keyboard to entertain myself.

 

 

Enjoyyy

Update

 

Its now Ramadhan again. How many Ramadhan have i been through. Countless. But then there is a number  attached to my name in the ID. How do one feels when seeing knowing the number. For me it doesn't matter. Age is just a number they say.

Looking back life has been good for me though not really that good. Cause may be i am not living the way i wish to. 

But then its ok, so grateful all this while that i am blessed with good health and  so are the people closest to me. Life has been kind. 

My other half is fit and back to normal after a surgery. The more than 6 inches surgical scars on his abdomen reminds us the trying time we had.2 years ago the time has elapsed i have been away from this blog. In more than two years this will only be my second entry.

In a few days time we will be celebrating Hari Raya ....the excitement of yesteryears is not really there. I have not done much preparations. My grandchildren are no more playful kids. Two are already into their twenties, two teenagers except and one late comer Adli just celebrated his fifth birthday.My two children are already in their forties. My husband and me hmm you can guess.

Hey no ...life is still good. I am waiting when this puasa is over i am going to lift my tennis racket again. Just got a new racket and I am going to swing it again in the court. As long as this legs can carry my body i'll be there.

All these years besides tennis gardening is my therapy. The same old garden area but the trees have grown older. The cempaka now looks limp in the dry season. The dukong has grown taller than the house but no fruits.I keep it for shade. The belimbing buluh i think will soon die in contrast the kedondong is happily flowering. My garden is growing old with me.

My other hobby swimming is at a stand still. Before, I thought I will never stop swimming but since covic 19 struck I have not been to the pool except for once or twice.

Now most of my time is spent at the keyboard. I find it very satisfyng after getting to play a song correctly. But at times i feel i am pushing myself too hard trying to learn too much and to keep up with the demand which i promise myself to upload my youtube channel fortnightly.

You might say why i tread into young people's world of socmed. Why not if that can make you feel relevant.

I stop here till my next entry.
