Crocked

Back in 2001, i sacrificed my leg for my country( a victim of deadly flesg eating bacteria during my proud tenure in NS)....Years later,yesterday i once again gave up my leg for a different cause. This time it was for football. I was valiantly chasing the ball looking to defend it as the enemy attacked our goal. It was TSY on the ball. I stretched my right leg to get to it. But alas misfortune struck. I felt a sharp pain on my right knee and that was it..i knew it was all over. I must have twisted or sprained my knee..i don't know... but it was goddamn painful. Moments later i had to hobble away like a soldier wounded in the battlefield.

I could hardly move around after that, as i dragged myself home. My dad helped to massage with some ointment. It seemed to help for awhile...but it got worse when i went to bed . I was tossing and turning throughout the night as i struggled to overcome the pain coursing through my leg. In the morning, i visited a Chinese Physican(a blind one at that), and he spend about 15 minutes twisting and pulling the crap out of my leg like i was some kind of lifeless ragdoll. But to give him credit, it did seem to have the desired effect, and now im in much less pain. I am just not certain if its temporary respite.... still a bit apprehensive. i was given some really disgusting herbal medicine...It's been awhile i had medicine which tasted this horrible...euurghh!
