My friend from Switzerland, Reto and his girlfriend, Samira came a visiting. I have them to thank for getting me out of the house. (more of this at http://dindinsjournal.blogspot.com/)
I brought them on the River Boat Cruise down the Singapore River, and boarded the boat with my crutches. Then the next day, we went to the Night Safari, and I had my trusty crutches. Only on the last day, when we went for a steamboat lunch and when I bid them farewell at the airport, I didn't have my crutches with me. The only difference was more leg room in the taxi and I walked slower.
If not for them I think I would still be at home, "recuperating". I think nothing beats going out and walking, cos, seriously, how far can I walk.. at home? Whilst playing "tour guide" It was my first time since the accident back in town again and just strolling along the streets of Orchard Road - felt so good. Almost felt as though I was back to normal! And strolling is an acceptable pace in Orchard Road.
On their last day here in Singapore, we went for a foot massage. I was worried, but at Footworks, the soft spoken and very nice lady who was my masseuse, Mdm Foo, was gentle with my left foot. Once again, the massage made me feel as though as I was back to normal.
