name | joel
about me | i am random..VERY random
what am doing? | architecture in RMIT, melb
what kicks up my blood preasure? | football, cooking, photography, architecture, music, and GOD

yes..you all heard it right..
i broke my leg..
*sigh*
kinda irritating coz im barely mobile now..
or not supposed to be that is :p
but so that u all know what happened
just in case there might have been
any 'miscommunication'
here's what happened on that fateful saturday morning
*jazzy background music fades on*

ANYWAY..
trinity had a football competition
and it was my team's first game
and we were in the first half
and it was my FIRST touch of the ball
i ran down the flank and then BOOM!!
some stupid guy slide tackled me from behind
and he took my leg instead of the ball!!
[whoever it is..i think he should take up chess instead..safer]
when it happened i could hear and feel a *crack*
and believe me..despite how fun it might seem
to use crutches..its not much of a pleasant experience
so first i thought that i probably just tore a ligament or something
so the medic there just iced the ankle
but after that it kinda swelled REALLY bad!!
[believe me..it looked more like a pumpkin than an ankle]
so i decided to go to the hospital just to get it checked..

hospitals here really take the word 'patient' seriously
i think i spend over 6 hours at the hospital
and more than 3 quarters of the time..
i was just sitting there..waiting..doing nothing..waiting..
but thank God 2 of my friends followed me..
but it was still really bored
*yawn*
started messing around with stuff in the room i was in
*note the pictures*



[me trying to stay positive about things]

[either yet or at this point of time..reality hasn't set in yet that i..
BROKE MY LEG!!]







finally i got an xray done
found out that i broke my left fibula
[its the smaller bone in ur alkle/shin]
but its all good i guess
coz the doc said that it can heal by itself..BUT
the scary bit is that in 2 weeks i have to go back fr a xray
and if my bone has moved even a millimeter..
i would have to go for an opperation =S
[not a very comforting thought]
so everyone..pleeeeeease pray!!
the idea of ppl opening my leg
and sticking stuff into it..
not a really pleasant thought for me..
but im doing fine now i guess
using crutches n all
and im kinda confined to my room..or my floor..or my bed =_=::
will keep you all updated about it

tune in next time for the adventures of
"joel and his broken left fibula which in a cast at the current moment"

1 peter 5:10
and the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ,
after you have suffered a litle while,
will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast

[awesome verse!!]



romans 8:38-39
for i am convinced
that neither death nor life
neither angels nor demons
neither the present nor the future
nor any powers
neither height nor death
nor anything else in all creation
will be able to seperate us from the love of GOD
that is in Christ Jesus our LORD
