Had 7 stitches on this disgusting looking wound on my foot.
Think these were the most number of stitches i ever had...
I had 3 "wound-stitching" experiences (including this one).
First was next to my eye, 3 stitches, second was june'05, when I had my torsion operation, dunno how many stitches that took, lastly this...
So how did shit happened ?
It went like this...
I was riding to Sim Lim Square to get some stuffs, halfway thru, at Serangoon Central, my bike died... so as usual, i went to restart my bike, as my bike got no electric start, i need to kick start it.. So there i was, right in the middle of the road, kick starting my bike, maybe i was a bit anxious, because very "malu" mah, bike died in the middle of the road, and thus i mis-kicked... My foot hit my foot peg... I thought no problem, just pain only, so continue riding (was wearing canvas shoe).
Ride ride ride, I still felt the pain, but thought nothing of it, pain is normal! =]
But the longer I ride, I felt that my foot was kinda moist... how come can feel liquid one... So I stop my bike by the side of the road and took off my shoe... the sight shocked me...
My orange sock was soaked with FRESH RED BLOOD!!! And I can see that the cut was pretty deep, and I can see my "mince meat" in it...
So needless to say, a visit to the doctor was definitely needed...
I rode to my usual clinic and the doc referred me to TTSH.
The doctor said lucky never kena the bone, cause he say the cut was deep enough, almost reach the bone...
So he sent me to the operation theatre and gave me 7 stitches, and a day of MC for each stitch! (haha , lame joke!)
Ok la, pain la, but bearable!
Shit happens... really...
