Nasty Fall II

I went back to the TCM clinic. The swelling seems to have gone down a little. No indication of fracture. Phew! Tui Na was done on me today and I swear it is MUCH WORSE than labour pains!! A second round of acupuncture was done but with less needles than yesterday. I guess that is a good sign.

Nasty Fall

I had an accident at work today. I missed two steps on the stairs and sprained my right ankle badly just after noon. Thank goodness for colleagues who quickly sprang into action such as getting me medicated oil, ice, pushing me in a chair doubled up as "wheelchair" to reduce my need to walk. 
I went to the TCM clinic after work. The TCM doctor did acupuncture. My first acupuncture and I almost died. I really dislike needles! Complete rest for my foot tomorrow as TCM doctor is worried about possible hairline fracture. If swelling is not down by tomorrow evening, I am going to get an x-ray. :(
7 needles with 2-3 few SUPER LONG ones :'(
