Worst ever accident in my life!

I broke my arm!

Last friday, which is the 18th of March 2016, I broke my arm. I have never in my life got into such an horrifying accident. To be exact, I broke the ulna which is one of the forearm bone located at your pinky.

Well a lot of you may ask, HOW?! It was an accident. Definitely not a road accident,more of a sports injury. A force that was far to great was applied to my bone, and PAK there it goes..... I would write you a description of how it happened but I could not. The only memory I have of it is when I know I am in a wrong position. Two words was displayed in my head. "Oh Shit!" Then when I was literally expecting pain, nope there was none. Was kinda surprising for me because there is only numbness.

I was then admitted to Sunway Medical Center. Longest journey to the hospital because I could not handle any sudden movement. Funny thing is Malaysia's road are famous for potholes. :P And humps IRREGULAR HUMPS. Picked up with a wheelchair right in front of the gate of SunMed. Then taking some of my details, and to the Emergency Room. It was all very quick. 


Trying to remain as calm as possible. Oh yeah I could not bend my arm. So i left it hanging, I could not even rest it on my thigh. Oh well, why must I have long hands. I was comfortable with walking, so the medical officer accompanied me to the xray room to have a picture. They cannot conclude about my situation, it can be a dislocation or a fracture.

Closer view of it!

It was the hardest thing in the Xray room. The officer wanted me to move my hand to take a clear picture of what happened. I cannot!!! IT HURTS. Yeah it was a very troublesome thing to do but i endured the pain and got through with it. The officer came back to me saying it is a fracture. To my understanding, fracture is like a small crack on the bone. I was relieved by a bit. Then he showed me the Xray, I shouted!!! IT IS BROKEN! 

My poor Ulna :(

My parents talked to the specialists. Guess what! Operating in 6 hours time. I was admitted on Friday night around 1130pm. Specialist said that operation will be at 730am tomorrow. OMG! That is too damn fast. HAHAHA i guess in this case fast is better. Sad thing is throughout the night I have to sleep with caution as my bone is just dangling there. 

I am super thankful to Johan Wong who came and accompanied me till 430am. I appreciate it a lot.

Operation!!!

Eunice arrived right in time before they pushed me into the operation theater. Just by seeing her, everything will be fine, I know!

And a side one for your entertainment hehe :P

6 screws and a metal plate to join the bone back together. I stayed the day for observations. The whole Saturday was gone. After a few hours, comes the best thing at that moment.


Me and my lunch!!! I didn't eat for more than 10 hours. Best food ever at that point of time even though it is just hospital food. After that a lot of my friends came and visited me, thank you!!! You took a little time off your busy schedule for me and I appreciate it a lot.

Eunice stayed by my side through the whole thing. Pity her :( Must be exhausting. Thank you dear.

I was discharged on Sunday around noon. Glad it was done so quick. And this is my first private hospital experience. Never been into one before. Always been to government ones. Such a big difference. Oh well, last but not least a happy me.

Nothing and no one can stop me from smiling. Be happy always!

Stay Healthy and Take care!
