Day 14

Yesterday, while in the toilet, was going to pull down my pants when my thumb just snapped. I fractured my left forearm before so i know the threshold of pain for serious injury. It felt like my thumb dislocated. As it was a Sunday, I was intending to wait till the morrow and consult the doctor at my resident polyclinic. However, my friend, who is a sports coach, advised me strongly that i should go consult the doctor immediately after i explained my condition. I was in the hospital from 10+ pm to about 2.30 am. Reached home at about 3 am. Woke up in the morning with a really bad headache, so i informed my team to carry on without me.
Turned out to be MCPJ Collateral Ligament Injury. Put in simple terms, ligament rupture. However this type of condition can only be confirmed if they cut open to see it. I have to visit the bone specialist next Monday.
So, Basically, my whole right forearm is in cast. At least till next Monday. So, i won't be able to write, draw, hold camera. Don't know for how long. Pretty stressed out thinking about it. Did some research and i might not be able to use my right thumb effectively for the next few months, or even permanently.
Called Mr Ronald to inform him. Cause there's presentation tomorrow.
I informed my team to carry on without me. Hope they can do their best.
