Day 3

I never really knew how I get by my first 2x years of living without regular exercise. It's been the 3rd day I haven't even drop a sweat and it's mentally irritating, I felt like my whole body became soft, all muscles turned into fat....well i probably deserved it cos i could've done some core exercise at home but am just too lazy XD

Another BIG dinner tonight :D very looking forward!

I tell myself that i'll work extra and go running every night starting next week, even on bootcamp days...but only if my leg is feeling less painful.

Was talking to a colleague yesterday about injuries in general, she scared the shit out of me with her story.

She said a friend of hers got injured while playing tennis, probably tore the muscle on the (left or right) thigh, and it hurts even when he walks. He thought give it sometime and it'll get better eventually, and of course like us hardcore ppl, he kept going hiking and even went on a holiday in Phuket with his gf walking along the beach. At one point, it was soo painful that he couldn't walk anymore and had to stop while walking on the beach.

Since it doesn't really look like a normal injury, a month later, he went to see a doctor. Doctor gave him inflammatory medication but still, it seems that it's not getting any better. He went on and see a few others but conditions remains the same. And finally he went to see a bone specialist and it turns out that his ligament was torn!! The doctor believed that the wound started out only to be a few centimeters but by the time he was in the specialist, it expands to over 10 centimeters already (well at least now we know why it's so painful!!)

Story doesn't end here but to cut it short - he went under the knife and repair the ligament but the wound is not healing and starting to get puss around the incisions, at the very end, he had to switch doctor, from a bone specialist to a plastic surgeon(?! why plastic surgeon i have no clue). and the surgeon had to un-stitch the wound, attached it with a machine that is specially use for sanitizing internal wounds, wait until the inflammation goes down and then had to cut a piece of his flesh on the other thigh to cover up the wound that was not able to heal properly.

This whole drama lasted for half a year, simply because he thought it was nothing but a sore muscle at the first place.

Scared the shit out of me, so now i'm staying put until the pain on my thigh is gone!
