So I sprained my ankle again. What happened? Well, I was running late for my basketball friendly match so I ran down the stairs of the MRT station to catch the train but I didn't place down my foot properly and it twisted and I fell.

Epic.

So that's what happened. I ran down the stairs and I fell. This is the third time I've sprained my left ankle.

The first time I sprained it I was Primary 6 (12 years old) back in November 2016. It was the post-PSLE period and there was an inter-class captain's ball tournament. I was one of the players.

Then all of a sudden, I needed the washroom. The teacher told me to hurry up cuz the game was starting soon so that's what I did. I ran down the stairs and twisted my ankle and fell. Wow, it's like just now.

I remember after that I stood up and limped to the toilet which was right beside the staircase. Then my friend who was also in the toilet walked me to the General Office. The best part was the match I missed was the semi-finals.

Then the second time I sprained my ankle, it was February earlier this year. Gosh, that was only 4 months ago! I was very tired from basketball training and I pivoted and fell cuz 2 people were ganging up on me (as in they were both trying to take the ball from me). So that's that.

My ankle hasn't even completely recovered and I injured it again! I'm currently at the nearest polyclinic waiting for my appointment. It's in an hour so I'll be sitting on a wheelchair for an hour waiting.

And I need the washroom but obviously I can't just walk there cuz I can't walk in the first place. And I barefooted so that's another reason why I can't just walk to the toilet. I had taken off my shoes for checkup but anyway it hurts to wear my socks and shoes so that's that.

Looks like I need another 3 to 6 months to recover and I can't train. But that also means I have an extra 6 to 9 hours a week to write ;))

Well, unless Coach decides to make me sit at the side and watch them train which really sucks cuz the court now is outdoors and the weather's been so hot lately.

Global warming... climate change...

Anyway, let's hope I recover soon cuz I want to be in the team next year ;-;
