This week I was really unfortunate. Gout attack 1 was on Monday, and the pain on my left ankle peaked on Monday night, making me hope for my heart to stop beating. The pain receded on Tuesday evening and was ok on Wednesday. Somehow, on Thursday afternoon, after making a client visit, a bone that I never knew was protruding at my left sole was very sensitive to touch. Luckily I was still about to sleep through last night, but this morning (which happens to be the day of my second son Kang Heng’s first month rituals), the pain in the left sole started to grow and now my mobility is again limited to how far I can walk using an umbrella as a walking stick.
I took the pic above in the afternoon today, just to document how swollen my left foot is now.
Was telling my wife maybe I should be getting a stylo-milo walking stick like that used by Dr House.
