rachelle

For the past 2 weeks she has been limping. When we asked her what happened to her leg, she answer was either 'I dont know' or 'never mind la'.

This morning, after leaving the house for school, she came back home 5 minutes later. She said that her left knee hurt badly and cant go to school.

Hubby and I sat her down and asked her to recall what had happened to that knee. After much tracing back of the events and the days, she said that it could be during PE lesson some 2 weeks ago.

They were playing baseball. Her friend, after batting, had swung the bat off his hand. The handle of the bat struck Rachelle's knee. It hurt for that moment but for the rest of the day while she was seated in class, there was no pain. So she didnt think much of it.

For the past 2 weeks, she just couldnt make that connection, that the pain in her knee was caused by the bat hitting it. Strange. Hubby and I just found it so hard to understand.

Anyways, hubby brought her to the doctor and found out that it could be a strain or a tear in the ligament. Large pieces of salonpas were given and some medication for inflammation.

When she got home, she got bored. So she kept herself busy with some craft work. Then she sliced her finger with a brand new pen knife.

The penknife was so sharp that a small piece of flesh was almost completed sliced off from her left pointer finger. I had to add pressure to it for a long time before the bleeding eventually stopped. All the time, Rachelle did not feel pain.

I am amazed at the high threshold for pain this gal has.

Just now at bedtime, she thanked God that she didnt go to school but walked back home instead this morning. So that she could go to the doc to seek treatment. And also asked for a speedy recovery so that she can start playing again.

That's right.
Give thanks in ALL circumstances! =)
