Guess Who's Back??? The Reason I Went MIA... XD

Hey friends!!!
It's me... and I'm back... hahaha

I haven't been able to blog for a month now, but I have a reason for that... Let me tell you a quite dumb story behind it. XD

Earlier this month, my father invited me to play basketball with the kids in the neighborhood on their makeshift basketball court. You know, it's typical in the countryside to see a basketball board and ring attached to a coconut tree... and that's enough for people to enjoy the sport.

It was all fun, and then when I was about to catch the ball, my foot couldn't land on even ground, and I lost my balance. Still, I caught the ball and shot it. Must be the adrenaline. LOL

Then I realized my ankle was sprained. It was so swollen that I could hardly stand, so I sat on the grass by the coconut tree and asked my father for some ice... to at least numb the pain before I try and walk home. XD

Luckily, there was no fracture as far as I could tell. I just had to stay home, elevate my legs, and minimize my movement for around a couple of weeks.

During the first week, I had to use a monoblock chair to help me walk. I don't have any crutches or a walker, so I had to use what's available. Then, in the second week, I could walk with minimal assistance as long as I wrapped it with an elastic bandage.

Now, it's still a bit painful to walk, but I don't have to wrap it. There's still minimal swelling, but it's so much better than the first couple of weeks.

My father sometimes teases me and asks me whether I'd still play basketball or not, but the answer is obvious... I will! haha But maybe in a normal court... well, at least somewhere on a flat ground. In addition, I'll wear shoes... that's for sure! haha

So yeah.. that's it. That's my story. :)
I'll try to be active here again, so look forward to more of my posts. See you around! (^^,)/
