It’s been a year

18 nov.

Baby,
It’s been a year.
One hard year of severe mental torturing.

I’m sorry to have hurted you, SO badly that you chose to leave me.

Baby, I’m sorry.

I took you for granted, due to the fact that I didn’t realize how irreplacable you were until you left.
I’m really sorry, I do regret what I’ve done, from the bottom of my heart,
and I respect your decision to leave.

It puts me in agony whenever I think of you,
and it breaks my heart just by looking at the photos we took together.

The good old days, you and me, dining together, laughing together, basically doing everything together….
and I wonder if you still remember me now…

It’s too late now. I know you’ll never come back to me. Never.

From now on I’ll learn to treasure what I have,
learn to put myself together, stand up and walk without you,
and I look forward to a brand new life,

for it’s been a year since the day I faced the trauma of losing you…

…my 4 front teeth…

…thanks to baseball

baseball, such a scary sport

“Decades have passed since rotator cuff injuries and the surgery to repair them have put pitchers’ careers in jeopardy. But, of course, most of Martinez’s problems since 2001 have been “south of the border” as he said in August. And that was before he added a torn muscle in his left calf to the maladies that have beset him since late summer last year — inflamed toe on his right foot, inflamed right hip and torn muscle in his right calf.”

–from mlb.com; Concerning Pedro Martinez, New York Mets #45

Torn muscles and ligaments; dislocation or inflammation at every possible joint; even broken teeth together with chopped up lips and gum…

Baseball…. such a scary sport…
Why am I still playing it

“Take us out to the ballgame!”

“Take us out to the ballgame!”

We girls proudly proclaim;

Showing the world what we’ve got

Is our ultimate aim.

We all share this utmost dream

And take it to the most extreme.

Don’t ever let it lie dormant

However far it might seem.

Challenges, setbacks unforeseeable,

In a rough journey full of obstacles;

With our commitment to persevere,

There’s no goal unattainable.

“Baseball is for boys,” you say,

How invalid’s this cliche?

Touched with baseball genes, we are

Born to pitch and hit and play.

We would like to manifest

That we all strive to try our best:

To flee out of town, and touch the world,

Like lil’ white balls hit out of the fence

The wind up and the pitch hits the mark,

But it’s nothing like the graceful arc

Swung by the bat, the sweetspot

Where good ole ball met, with a spark.

Hurtling through the ballpark air

Goes the leather covered sphere

Roars of tension from the stands

Pumps up in the atmosphere

Like our team, the ball swiftly flies

In the focus of a million eyes

Going…

Going…

Gone!

Touch’em all and say GOODBYE!

好彩

其實我覺得自己好好彩…..

好彩中個骨較強既位。牙醫話… 如果個波中高半寸﹐中左個鼻﹐就要住院做手術成個月啦﹔低半寸﹐中正牙﹐D牙就必死無疑﹐斷開晒﹐一定無救….

好彩呢件事唔係發生o係畢業禮前

好彩果晚文醫生+杜醫生都無症睇

好彩我活動無受影嚮﹐仍然四枝健全

好彩所有朋友都非常幫得手

好彩我好快已經消腫

好彩我聽日就可以出發去厄瓜多爾+秘魯

好緊張呀…..

我會好掛住。係呀呀。

傷勢

好多謝大家既關心呀….. 我無事架….. 真係呢世人未收過咁多eprops+comments.. hehe… They are so sweet and they all mean a lot to me.. really :)

好啦﹐因為好多人都唔係好清楚我個傷勢﹐我嘗試用圖畫表達出黎:….

(Light Blue= Jaw Bone)

首先我俾波打中既地方就大約係上排牙偏右既位… 好明顯上顎骨就裂開左+爆咀唇。所以界爛埋牙肉同咀唇內邊。

由於個Impact 太大﹐成塊骨由外至內都裂開左﹐成塊碎骨連牙甩左出黎– 所以界爛埋下唇。其中一片碎片唔見左(可能仲o係球場架….) 打黃星隻牙斷埋根﹐所以有麻煩。

牙 醫做到既暫時就係聯好晒D針+將牙+骨嘗試推回原位…. 都好難100% 架啦…. 點都有少少凸出…. 用左D補粉將四隻門牙痴住暫時定一定位。之後呢幾日就好睇D骨有無connect 返。如果*touchwood* 無﹐就即係D骨已經死左﹐就連牙一齊剝走﹐配假牙….. 而且D架牙都會因位無骨support 而歪向上。
如果好好彩D骨合得返﹐就睇D牙有無死﹐死唔死都要箍牙….。斷根o個隻牙醫就話多數死左啦… 不過都可以碰碰運氣…. 死左﹐又係要配假牙…..

有無嚇親你地呢…. 我諗…. 最嚇親你地既會係一個月之後既我囉….. 一個月唔食得固體食物…… 唔知會瘦成點啦….

傷盡佢

*WARNING – this entry is gonna be long. make sure you have the patience*

琴日練波﹐

好自豪咁同隊友講…. “聽日出發啦。我將會有六個禮拜休息….. hehehe…. 今日我唔怕出事….. 今日要傷盡佢!!!!!!”………………………………

…………………. 係咪做人真係應該小心D講野好呢….?

首先就係隻手掙﹐椗波既時候太用力﹐椗到我諗傷左muscle fibres/tendons

之後 take field 既時候﹐我要做Left Fielder, 接好多高波。頭十幾個都完全無問題﹐接得我好滿意﹐淨係椗返 second base 時手痛所以唔係好夠力…. (左外返二壘﹐點可以唔夠力架????!!!!!)

直至到某一球﹐仲好記得係要向center field 衝去接既。我已經走到去個波著陸既位﹐但係手套出得唔夠快…..

The next thing I saw was…. Blood spurting out from my mouth… non stop… 呢世人都未見過咁咁咁多血噴出黎﹐ 更不用提D血係由我個口度噴出黎…. 噴到bea bea 聲咁…. 一開始我都唔知D血係由邊度黎。口? 鼻? 眼? 面? 胃??? 心只係諗…. 今日係Halloween 咩??咁應節既?? 我完全無痛/驚既感覺﹐我都無諗過原來自己遇上呢D事係會咁冷靜….. 凈係感覺到有D野ling 下ling下….. 好似係牙+牙肉…. 又feel 到嘴唇爆開左… 我既 natural instinct 係即刻用手兜住D血… 萬一唔知甩左D乜都執得番… 不過D血完全兜唔晒…. 有幾個team mate 即刻衝過黎… 大家都好幫得手+好關心我。又睇下我個狀況﹐又幫我call 白車﹐又幫我沖水+敷冰+ 止血+扶我返dug out (雖然我唔暈又行得穩)…. 好感動呀。我真係真係真係十萬分感激你地!!! 我呢個醜相真係嚇親好多隊友…. 而又浪費左你地打波既時間…. 真係想o係度講聲好對唔住….

I love baseball. I love my team. I love all of u.

好 彩我隊波有兩個醫生﹐幫我做左D初期既診斷。佢地既工作態度真係好專業。直得表揚。之後醫生隊友Veron 倍左我上白車﹐去左聯合醫院急症。發現原來只係九點…. 原來我miss 左成個幾兩個鐘練習時間…. 唔開心 :( … 不過我累到Veron 都miss 埋…. 好過意唔去….

坐白車等既時候…. 我自拍左幾張相做紀念…. hehe… 不過實會引起觀眾不安架啦…. 所以無post 出黎。

o 係醫院等左好耐好耐…. 因為甩牙爆嘴唇唔係有性命危險既急症﹐所以要排好耐…. 又照左X 光… 由於公立醫院野晚無牙醫﹐我媽媽打左俾我睇開個牙醫… 佢原本同家人o係大埔渡假﹐但係都即刻趕返去個醫務所。所以之後媽媽車左我去旺角﹐文醫生醫務所。再照多左張詳盡D既X光﹐同一個徹低既check up,大致上我個情況係咁既…..

上唇有兩處由外至內爆裂﹐一定要聯針。
下唇有塊肉”片”開左﹐都要聯針。
牙… 就麻煩少少… 上顎牙骨破裂﹐上排四隻門牙鬆脫﹐其中一隻較嚴重﹐因為斷左牙根(doctor isn’t quite optimistic on that one)
右邊牙骨甩左塊骨…. 搵唔返
上排牙肉外+內已經爆開到一塊塊…. 一定一定要聯針 (好似切puzzle 咁)

牙醫同我講﹐o係牙科醫學上﹐呢D叫做嚴重創傷喎….

弟弟之後都由學校趕黎睇我。今次真係嚇得佢呆左… haha, 唔好意思呀小弟… 媽媽都應該好擔心﹐不過我諗佢見我咁冷靜都無乜野…  況且再嚴重既傷我都傷過。

打左十二支麻醉針….

牙醫用力將四隻牙推返原位﹐推左幾耐下﹐因為要推得perfectly 齊+對返下排牙﹐所以要慢慢黎+好有心機。之後用左D唔知乜將D牙四隻’痴’埋﹐定好位﹐等佢呢幾日自己recover 一下先。咁就唔洗用牙托。不過﹐都有個可能性係D牙第時會唔整齊。

由於嘴唇外部有爆裂﹐所以為左唔想我毀容﹐文醫生特登急call佢一個做cosmetic surgery 既醫生朋友黎。佢又真係即刻趕黎… 真係好感激杜醫生呀。

之後聯針﹐再打多兩支麻醉針….. 聯左好耐好耐…..

上唇聯左十一針
下唇聯左四針
牙肉加加埋埋聯左十幾二十針
(forgot, 因為一忽忽咁….)

合 共聯左三十幾四十針….. 真係第一次做咁耐既手術…. 而且我仲完全清醒﹐所以我係觀察著每一個步驟…. 睇住醫生幫自己聯針﹐其實幾得意﹐見D線係咁扯﹐又要打好多個結…. 成個手術過左好耐﹐其實到臨尾幾針既時候﹐麻醉藥已經開始散﹐所以都feel 到少少…. 不過﹐唔係好痛… 咬咀唇仲痛啦….

牙醫話﹐過幾日我要去導牙根﹐四隻都要﹐不過副作用就係D牙會變黑﹐但係到 時都可以有辦法補救﹐同埋有樣野肯定既就係D神經線已經死晒﹐而nerve fibres 係唔會自己 regenerate 既…. 所以我呢世四隻門牙都唔會有任何感覺架啦…. for the rest of my life。最右手邊既門牙由於斷左牙根﹐情況唔多樂觀﹐有可能會壞死+甩出黎。到時就無辦法啦一定要用假牙啦。同埋呢個禮拜都最好留o係香港﹐導完牙根就 走得。所以醫生話最好延遲一個禮拜….. 想喊﹐但係無辦法啦。

返到屋企有好多野要搞…. 改機票﹐改義工期﹐覆人messages…..

仲有好多藥要食。

成 個禮拜只可以食流質食物。當減肥啦。今日爸爸返屋企﹐買左燕窩俾我食﹐因為會加快細胞既復原…. 真係好開心. 不過要用飲管食…. 成個禮拜都要咁食野…. 因為嘴唇腫到成個豬咀咁﹐can’t move nor control it….. 所以要好似D病人插侯管咁﹐淨係用得飲管。

個南美州義工之旅由六個星期縮短到五個星期…. 其實唔多唔少都有D唔開心… 但係我相信呢個係上天既安排﹐可能今個星期如果我過左去會有更嚴重既事發生 *touch wood* ﹐而最重要既﹐係我深深體會到身邊既人有幾關心我。我屋企人﹐棒球隊友﹐香港朋友﹐英國朋友(當有msn時都特登打長途電話黎問候我…)。呢世人都未 試過一時間收到咁多咁sweet+touching+caring 既text…. 真係好開心﹐好想save 晒佢地…. 返到屋企﹐好多好好好朋友o係MSN 問候我﹐真係多謝你地呀…. 之後仲要多謝棒球隊友之後幫我清理善後(我知left field 果大灘血真係幾嚇人+核突…. 好似有人劈友咁)﹐幫我渣返架車返我屋企﹐仲話遲D請我食雪糕…. 嘻嘻嘻…. 愛死你地!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am terribly sorry to make you guys worried, I know that you all care, and I was, and still am, really touched + grateful about that. I will take good care of myself. Accidents do happen in sports! Should be thankful that I hurt a place that will not stop me from sports for the rest of my life… Imagine if my right hand is paralysed…. I will then find no meaning in my life anymore (No more baseball/wakeboard/drawing/piano/cello/guitar/everything…)

I’m now so looking forward to the trip next week. Don’t worry guys, I’m not going to let this accident affect my Quality of Life. I’m still going enjoy life at its best like I always used to!!!
