Aftermath

31 08 2008

Some things are just out of my control. Everything that could have gone perfect has gone the other way. Now its a long wait.





NO HANDLING PLEASE

29 08 2008

I am gonna die tomorrow.





Countdown

27 08 2008

2 days before I meet Vudoo North. 3 days before games start. 

1st Sing Opens. Should be exciting.





Countdown: 5

24 08 2008

5 days to Singapore Opens. And I have been pain free for 4 days! Hurray! SINGAPORE OPENS! SINGAPORE OPENS!

On the other hand, I miss Austria a lot. I miss my bike. I miss having a 5min bike ride to church. I miss not having to wait for an irregular bus. I miss mild rain showers. I miss the non-stick weather. I miss cloudless blue skies. I miss the weekend tournaments. I miss the traveling. I miss *gasp* German! I miss sitting by the river and chilling. I miss hypoallergenic grass. I miss having a room of my own. I miss late nights. 

I would say that I am as settled back to Sg life as much as I can. It was definitely easier than settling into Austria. But, I still want to export all my family and friends over to Europe. Forever.





Cured!

23 08 2008

I am back on the field, running, jumping, throwing. Hurray! The knees still ache sometimes, but more or less the pain is gone, and I am feeling much much better. Bring on Opens! 

Thank God it really isn’t a meniscus tear. And for the wonderful physio who basically cured me. And Voltaren for keeping the pain at bay.





Happenings today

21 08 2008

Today I found out that my meniscus tear wasn’t a meniscus tear. Its a muscle strain. Which is MUCH MUCH easier to cure. And then, I dug out the age-old-brand-new screen connecter, and decide to do the coolest thing I ever did to my computer. Hook it up to another display. Now my workspace looks like this: 

2 displays, speakers and a tablet in the pull out table. How awesome is that.





HURRAY!

21 08 2008

Its not a meniscus problem. Thank God for that! 

SINGAPORE OPENS HERE I COME!





Pain

19 08 2008

In pain. And its not only in the knee. Diclofenac will help a little. But not much.





11th

18 08 2008

11 days till Singapore Opens. Knee still screwed. 

Very likely I have to become a spectator. But I just don’t want to break the news yet. Awaiting the diagnosis of the specialist. And then maybe I will decide.





Revival!

17 08 2008

After 2 years of being dead, plugging my long ancient iPod into the computer actually initiated a response! It not only switched on, but also a  appeared! But the amazing recover halted there, and now I can’t jump start it to do anything else. 

If only my knees would do the same. 

12 days till Opens. 12 days to recover. 4 days till I see the specialist. 

I hang onto the thin fraying thread of hope for now.
