年初三

It is peculiar that my right arm is going through such cycles of stiffening and relaxation. I wonder what's wrong, and if that's a natural part of the healing process. In fact, I am so preoccupied with my arm that I'm almost forgetting that it is my shoulder - and not my arm - that has been dislocated. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, it's obvious that my right shoulder is just weakly slumped. It still has no strength to do a right latissimus dorsi spread, unlike on the left side. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all is well. I'm nervous about my MRI results, but there's still two weeks to go before I am scheduled to see my specialist for a diagnosis. Irreparable tissue damage or not? Surgery or not? Questions, questions, questions.

At around noon, I went over to Ah Khen and Nan Yan's place for some New Year celebrations. Ah Khen's and Nan Yan's three children have grown taller and plumper :) I also caught up with many of my old DSTA friends there, including Richard & Audrey, Chee Keong, Kenny, Melvin, Valerie & Andy & their year-old baby Tiffany, Li Lian, Wilson and Uncle Low. Everyone was in good spirits, eating popiah, drinking home-brewed red date tea and munching on other new year pastries. =D Thanks to Richard and Audrey for sending me back home after the get-together.
