having my lunch break at the Austin hospital now.
got a 2 hour lunch break today cos there's not many patients to see in the ward, so my supervisor let us go early. thank god i have a long lunch break cos my back is aching like crazy and i have this huge knot in my left trapz and it's now shooting pain up my neck into my head. dunno how i am going to get through with the rest of the day. feeling pretty sore.
my calf still aching too, from the 36 single heel raises i did last friday when i was germaine's practice "specimen". at least the pain is improving. but i'd rather have the calf pain than the backache and trapz pain i am having now. I seriously need a full body massage..if only i can afford it sighz
was talking to clara just now and we were chatting abt how physio students get socially isolated from the rest of uni cos of our bizarre timetable. and of course,i am stlll pretty indignant abt the fact that we start earlier and earlier each year...making miss chinese new year 2005...all my bah kwa,pineapple tarts and other goodies...all cannot eat. sighz. depressing thought indeed.
the pain in my back is getting better.
but the pain in my trapz (and neck and head ) is getting worse.i can feel my trapz all tightened up and squeezing on my nerves...definitely going to get a very bad headache later. what a way to end the day.
by the way,for people who haven't done much anatomy, trapezius is the muscle that runs along the back of your neck and to the shoulder. the one people usually start rubbing when they've studied too much or stare at the comp for too long. very commone muscle to become all tight and knotty.
mine is filled with a million knots. just ask alicia or germaine. if my memory serves me well,their reaction when they massage me was 'yeek! why so many knots one?" :P
ah well...guess doing clinic isn't as easy as i thot it would be.
kinda miss uni actually...miss sitting in a lecture and not having to think on the spot all the time..miss getting to sit down (i spend most time on my feet in clinics,which explains my back ache...)
but clinics is very enriching. get to apply what i've learnt. although part of me really wish my supervisor would stop asking me "so,what do you think you wanna do?" cos i am just so tempted to answer "i have no idea." but nah,that's the wrong answer so i have to squeeze some answer out of my head. :<
if all goes well, it's 11 days to going home. can't wait to be in sunny singapore again. the weather here is DEPRESSING. i am so definitely going to go swimming in singapore and get a nice tan. would be nice to have a tan during winter when everyone else is pale. :P
right now,can only look at overcast skies and wonder when the sun would actually warm this place up enough so i dun have to wear so many layers of clothes.
there comes the headache i predicted. argh. better stop looking at the comp so i dun make it worse.
wish han wei is here to sayang me.....now can only make do with self masage (which would probably mak my right trapz tighten up...i seriously can't win in this kinda situation huh?)
tata!
