Yet another fall....
whew, submission over~~ not happy abt my uncompleted model. haiz.
yesh yesh ed i heard u.. ur "SEE A DOCTOR" rather loud haha. well, i didnt see doc still hahahaha dun scold me~~~ really no time den. but now look at me, it still get recovered by itself mah~~ it proved that i dun need doc... hahaha... hmm no la, I dun think it is allegic to pollen... that is yock's case~ my house got so much plants and flowers... if i have, i would have gotten all the time. as for stress to cause body to weaken and susceptible to them... i wondered... maybe quite possible? My house have so much plants and flowers. but previous excesive stress during submission didnt encounter such rash before...
Anway i got swollen sole at my right feet a few days after the rashes breakout. so had some problem walking oso. Den lav suggested it is due to lack of fruits all together. and it makes me think it is possible. I forgot my bio abt lack of vit C. But I kinda think it is highly possible.... And i did skip my daily intake of fruits from that day onwards during submission preparation. so.... haha possible rite?
Well my swollen sole is gone a few days ago but the rashes still there.... argh... have been slapping myself and abit of scratching in the midst of computer work. Yesterday, it seems no longer itchy.... so everything seems fine but that is NOT the end of 'accidents' i having.
Yesterday before going to sch to hand up, I was piaing my physical model. I was rushing into and out of my house to get things sprayed with glue.... den one time i think i ran or walked too fast and i kinda missed the step which i gauged i would step on. But only last half of my right feet was on it, so.... i slipped forward..... had a great tumble... took a few seconds to stay at the position before i could stand up again and continued the spraying and rushing to sch... mum and dad horrified at the scene... even the construction worker outside doing the re-concreting job at my corridor also had his jaw wide opened... so drama....
so I had 2 really really huge bruises all at my right leg... one at knee, one at the lower part of leg... haiz... and this morning i realised i have a pain at the back.. I checked and found out another bruise at the back ribs!! wat the..... must have hit the planter stand in front of my doorstep when falling. didnt realise.... cos the leg had hurt much more then. oh well... i am such a clumsy person? Dad keep insisting that is becos i got so weak due to skipping of meals. Mum thinks that becos i hurried too fast... For me, i think i juz misjudged the step...
ok hope no more bruises to discover... darn, i dun dare to go out... cos each bruise is like 4-5cm in diameter on my leg... abit horrifying to let outsiders see... argh...
ok... exam, crit and essay coming the way~~~
