timeline:

7.00pm monday  :  playing badminon … 20-20 no deuce, ping-pong style… overhead shot, jumped, landed badly and immediately pushed off too hard… *smth feels like a sprain* -fall down-

9.00pm approx : at tan tock seng hospital, doctor initial diagnosis of torn tendon

*luke takes a bus down from sitiawan…*

blood pressure, pulse, etc etc… doc comes in at about 2am … put a cast on, says cannot eat till operation..

… fast forward …

4.30 pm, tuesday … nurses come in, i get changed into the thing-you-wear-for-operations …
General aneasthetic, knocked out… operation… (find the 2 ends of the tendon and stitch back together..)

6.30 pm : wakes up from GA

… fast forward …

1pm wednesday : discharged from hospital..
