Appreciate Them

Sometimes i drag my feet, sometimes i walk with a slight limp. I'm referring to the last 3 days. At times they were SO PAINFUL, its a brand new feeling. That i decided to see a doctor, just now. Its my 1st time consulting a professional Chinese physician. I was relieved to know that its a minor problem, she said its common especially among the elderly. Oh, so i'm young man with old legs. I knew it. I overworked my legs, with my long walks and runs, and 60km ride? And also blood circulation isn't good. Listen up all who has the same problem - I was told by doctor to avoid direct contact with the cold marble floor, massage/press my feet at the part where it hurts, and soak my feet in hot water for 15 min a day - to help them relax. Of course i was given some medicine. Just took one packet, damn bitter, buay tahan. 8 more to go, i will finish them! For the sake of recovery, its crucial. I like to tell those who don't exercise - Maybe you should start soon or else when it comes a day you feel like doing so, you may not be able to.

Steady, goodnight.

u and my papa the same!!
he's having this problem too.. the many runnings, joggings, marathons etc causes that! so now he cant run and jog.. he can only have occassional brisk walks. i guess that's the price he had to pay for the trophies inside the cupboard..
but.. you are worse than him! at least he's old already, but you are still young!
