A Twist In My Tale
Sunday, February 10, 2008
It was painful,very fucking painful.When the ankle twisted,I thought I was a goner.The cringing feeling,I knew I had imagined the cracking sound in my head but I could but that my ankle was broken.The sad part was that no one had even noticed that I was still lying on the ground,for I could hear argument whether my opponents had scored or not.And I had fallen in the opponent's half while trying to get the ball.
Anyways,I dragged myself to the nearby bench.Consolation wasn't nice."Atleast,you didn't pull a muscle".I wish I could cry.
I managed to get back home fairly easily.My leg didn't pose any trouble.Put my leg in hot water for some time and then put a crepe bandage around the ankle portion.But at night it got really painful.So as I lay wide awake,I plotted my plan of action for the next day.Point 1 was that I wouldn't go to college.Point 2 was that I would see a doctor,which meant I would be visiting my relatives as well.
The good news was that I hadn't broken my ankle or my leg for that matter.Just ruptured a muscle in the ankle portion and it wasn only a minor injury.I would recover in a week.But for precaution,I was sent to get a X-ray.The doctor there,in between singing tamil songs,asked questions as if he was stating a fact.
"Hmm,twisted the leg."
Actually that was a question,I thought he was telling that to me.
"Twisted the leg?"
Me:"Huh,uh yeah."
It's worth mentioning that I had already told him that I had twisted my leg.Anyways,X-rays didn't show anything.So no need for plaster.Crepe bandages and painkillers would do.And after two days,my leg is OK.Still a bit of pain but fine otherwise.I can twist it and walk easily.
