Slipped disc =(

I thought to myself, it was about time for me to get these back pains checked out. And so it was. When I was in KTJ Lower 6, my matron took me to see a specialist in Seremban. I took an X-ray and he prescribed me strong medications. Tramadol was so strong that I couldn't stop vommitting on the day of my Cambridge Interview. How humiliating, but the past's the past. I have moved on.

Last week I made an appointment with a specialist in a certain specific hospital in my area and the doctor told me it was just my bad posture giving me pains as a result of muscle inflammation. I was relieved. No cause for concern right? Then there was more. The MRI scan to confirm that everything was actually alright. Too bad it wasn't all sunshine for me. The scan revealed a central disc herniation ( I'm not a med student so forgive me for the technicalities ) In other words, a slipped disc. Round my L4/L5 area? Yeah somewhere there. But I want to get a second opinion. I want to see a chiropractor. But I don't have the time.

I'm blaming it on myself, obviously - this must have happened while I was packing my things, clearing out my room in Year 1. I lifted all those heavy boxes by myself, and Cheng immediately gave me a hand when she got back. Yes, bloody back pains from lifting heavy things. Now my poor back is injured thanks to the excessive strain. Fortunately I do not need surgery, the doctor merely suggested physiotheraphy. But how am I supposed to sit still knowing something inside me is not right? All the more reasons not to look forward going back to the UK, dragging my luggage around London. My poor lumbar.

So here I am, resting at home on a Saturday. But not that I mind though, the weather lately has been unbearable. I try my best not to use the air-cond but lately I feel like the air around me is burning so I just need to have the air around me cooled. I know now I want to go back to the UK for a better temperature, but I know later on I will want the sun again. But really, I just can't take the heat. It's beyond unbearable. It doesn't help either that I'm thirsty and hungry. I don't want real food, I just want sweet things to munch on.

Speaking of which, I have approximately one more week before my flight back to London =( Definitely not looking forward to that. I'm going to miss the nightlife here, which is something England can never give me. And cheap food, obviously. And I could never get comfortable sleeping in a single bed. There's just no space. I'm gonna miss everything about home. True enough, its just perfect for me. Everything's perfect, except for the weather. Sigh. Global warming global warming. But enough of blog-whining, I'm off to enjoy Saturday tv. They better be showing something worth watching.
