I think Lil Shauna must have sprained her ankle like 3x since she started netball in Sec 1. She just sprained her ankle in June during training. The sprain took like weeks to heal. Just when it was getting better, she went back to training, landed awkwardly (again) and sprained the same ankle again. She said that Coach was upset with her, I would too, especially when the zone competition is coming up in July.
This sprain seems worse than the initial one bcos the swelling is bigger. She even skipped school on Friday when she woke up in great pain and claimed that she cannot walk. We had no choice but to bring her to TCM on Friday evening and the nearest one from where we had dinner in JP was MaGuang, atas TCM.
Gone were the days where the Chinese Sinseh would do the crack, crack, crack, bone settling. The previous time that she sprained and Daddy Lim brought her to a different TCM, it was medicinal wrap. This time, the Sinseh recommended acupuncture plus medicinal wrap if Lil Shauna could tolerate the former. She cannot.. Zzzzz...
Surprisingly, Zaky was very nice to her and offered to be her clutches as she limped to the car.
On Saturday morning, the swelling didn't seem to go down and Lil Shauna was still whining in pain. I was worried that it was some fracture or hairline crack and had intended to bring her for an x-ray if things didn't improve. By late morning, she said that the pain was more tolerable and even went for her Youth gathering. Win le.
Daddy Lim picked her up for our family dinner date at Timbre, a reservation that we had made months back. The last round, the reservation was too early at 6.15pm and Zaky kept bugging to leave after he had finished dinner and before we even caught the band.
This time, the reservation was at 7.30pm. Daddy Lim parked at the nearest possible carpark but still a walk away. Zaky offered to piggyback jiejie but for like only a few meters. Then jiejie slowly limped to the restaurant.
Zaky survived until the band started playing at 8.30pm and we watched the 1st set.
Yay! Family dinner date accomplished.
We didn't catch the 2nd set bcos Zaky had used up all his patience le. Then it was another slow walk back to the car. This time, Daddy Lim piggyback the girl.
Gone were the days that our princess is a little bit; she is obviously very big now. Daddy Lim also didn't survive very far before dropping her and had her limping her way back to the car. Ya, I not so silly and didn't attempt/ offer to piggyback her. Hoho.
Zaky attempted his spiderman pose that he loves when he was a tiny (skinny) boy.
Ya, he needed a much bigger post now. Lol.
This morning, Lil Shauna confirmed that the pain is better. Looks like what she needed is time now.
