Well...

Went to the Palm Oil Estate today somewhere in Sungai Buloh. Hehe. Was interesting, I know how a palm oil seed looks like.. but to see all the trees planted like that.. majestic. Lol. As usual, clever me forgot to bring my camera. AGAIN.

Say, yesterday a piece of glass was extracted from the bottom of my foot. Lol! About last week or so I kinda suspected I stepped on glass and it was in my leg.. parents dug around with a needle, but didn't see anything. So.. well, I just left it. I mean, it was painful sometimes but I thought it was just a normal wound...

Then yesterday at the hot water spring it opened up again. I knew the glass had to be inside then because if it wasn't, how come it opened up again??

Well.. at 11 something last night.. wow. Hahaha. My parents used a needle, a pair of pincers and a super bright torchlight. They saw the glass this time.. reflected the bright light. But seemingly it was embedded in my foot.. what do you expect, the skin prolly grew over it after that 1 week! Hahaha.

Well... they had to dig past the epidermis.. it wasn't painful, this stage that is. Trust me, your soles are super tough. ;-)

Then they finally reached the glass.. but couldn't get it out, was embedded, as I said earlier. My dad decided to try some totally unprofessional.. he used a vacuum cleaner in an attempt to get it out! LOL. I had to start laughing then. HAHAHAHA. Mind you, I was super tensed up, cause I know that the pain will be very sharp and unexpected. If it was painful all the time you can relax.. but when you know that the pain will suddenly come.. well, you'll be tensed. I was afraid I'd kick their faces. Lol! Besides, there's a NEEDLE IN YOUR FOOT!

Anyway.. I could finally tell when the needle reached the glass.. the pain was sharp, but bearable. They attempted to dig it out.. it was a tense agonising 10 minutes. I had images of sitting on the operation table with the doctor about to extract it out.. maybe thats why I kept still and didn't lose my head. Lol. I don't exactly like doctors you know.. don't know why, but I don't. I usually refuse to take medication if something is wrong with me.. I read somewhere that Panadol can destroy your kidneys.. hahaha I stopped taking panadols since then. Lol!

Well, it was finally out, and I could finally walk peacefully without that sharp pain in me. Can you imagine, I explored a cave with a glass in my foot? HAhaha! And for a whole week it was in me.. it was a considerably big piece.. a bit of my blood was dried on it. hahahaha!

God bless
