Last week I had a fall while wiping the floor. I was wiping the nooks and corners of the floor and where all the computer wires are, that the Roborock robot can’t reach. I was wiping the floor with a piece of wet cloth and wearing slippers when I fell backwards, landing on my butt and back of head. For a moment, I thought that’s it. I’m finished.
The fall resulted in bruises on both my elbows, a painful butt, and spine, which resulted in pain when I walked. The next day, I had a bad crick in my neck. I could not turn my head and felt horrible.
Cass forced me to put ice pack on my right elbow, which had a bigger patch of bruise and more painful. As a result, the right elbow healed faster than the left. So yeah, it’s tested and proven that ice packs and cold compress works like a charm in reducing swell and pain.
A day later, hubs booked an appointment for me to see a physiotherapist, despite me protesting because of the cost. The first session costs RM225 and subsequent sessions cost RM180, for an hour session. My go-to remedy has always been Salon Pas patches and time, of course, will heal. But hubs forced me to attend the physio session. He believes strongly in physiotherapy and has been attending regular physio sessions for aches and pains caused by sports (basketball) and work.
Physiotherapy at Precise Rehab, Bangsar. The physiotherapist who attended to me was very gentle and patient. After just an hour of physio, the pain subsided by 50% by evening. After the session, my physiotherapist Whatsapped me photos and instructions on some simple exercises that I should do at home.
As of today, 5 days after the first physio session, the pain in my neck and shoulders is 90% gone. I told hubs that I don’t need another session but he’s forcing me to go for another session 🙄
After our physio sessions (hubs had a session too), we went to a food court in Brickfields to tuck into my favorite Vietnamese fare. The stall in the food court is run by a man who previously worked for a well-known Vietnamese restaurant at Mid Valley Megamall. We love the beef pho and fried spring rolls. I’ve yet to try his Bánh mì and plan to try it this week after my 2nd physio session. The pork noodles at this food court is also superb. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the food court but I’ll make a mental note to snap a photo of it the next time we go there.
