.: MCL, PCL, ACL...

top 3 keywords for my search engine today:

torn ligaments, knee injury, walk...

Anterior, Posterior and Medial Cruciate Ligament injury....

i mean: anterior, posterior, interior, exterior.....wat?

ah yes. torn ligaments. not mine, mind u. something that sounds so exclusive to people who run n jump around like bunnies or crash into each other like diseased sheep. its something that i probably hopefully would never have to experience. because yana leads a sedentary zen (i'd like to think) lifestyle. one that basically involves floating around in skirts, making dainty steps on mighty heels and sleeping.

woke up at 2 plus last night to the sound of my mother nagging. at bro. he was finally home then, i tot. went straight past the living room to pee. then i heard something bout torn ligaments and went back out. apparently bro had been sitting down with a set of crutches and big big bandage on his knee and i missed that completely. i m tat potek (blind akin to bats)sometimes. the reason being he was performing his gig the night before and (i suspected, he must have done some bizzare spiderman jump to tear his ligament like that.)

i mean, my bro, u know..? sure not? this is the guy who eats like a horse which can eat 2 cows (i can only manage one), whos as strong as steel, who somehow seem to build lean muscles just by sitting in front of the comp and making loud noises on his electric guitar. and this is the guy who single-handedly emptied the whole house himself. if u know my bro, u'll know wat i mean..

niways.. so i panicked. a bit jakun, i know, and completely unnecessary, but i panicked anyhows.
when u gonna walk again, i asked? it din help bro just said i dunno, must see xray results. so again, in classic yana fashion, i freaked out again lor. i couldnt sleep the whole night imagining the worst, feeding my overactive imagination and total lack of understanding on the subject of ligaments. turns out after reading a bit about it, it might take a while to heal, but bro is definitely, definitely gonna walk again, lor.

like duh. heh...

mum said it happened round seven-ish. looking back, must be right about the time tex n guanhua were making me laugh myself silly talking bout our dear ol econs tutor: more bout that next time. i mean, we were so near, geographically? considering i was in taka at that time, and bro was just outside taka having his little a&e scene. i would have run outside if i knew, contributing my own little scene myself..

now heres the freaky part..

fey

my sis was sleeping before bro returned. according to her, she dreamed of my bro telling mum hes going for medic checkup and my mum asking him to be more careful and stuff.

coincidence, most likely. or clairvoyance. if ure into that sorta thing.

it runs in the family. i m not easily surprised anymore.
