The story so far on my left leg

Well, the reason why my leg still hasn't healed yet because it was a partial LCL tear. And all this time I've been handling it wrong. Back in early February, when I was bending my knee, bad idea. Not only was I not supposed to be bending my knee, but I also wasn't supposed to be walking on my left leg either.

My leg as it is now

And it resulted in that. Aside from the LCL tear, I believe a 2nd tear happened on my lower calf. My silly cameraphone doesn't show the colors right, but it's seriously red there. So, since February 23, I have not bent my knee till now. Thanks to that, I feel my LCL reconnected, but I'm still not going to bend my knee until my lower calf heals. But it's become very frustrating to deal with. I was supposed to get crutches last Monday, but I've yet to get them. My right leg is becoming fatigued from all the hobbling. I have a feeling I may not get them, considering how terrible my luck has gotten, and I really think this language barrier has just about ruined me. Can you believe, since December last year, I've not been able to  hold a proper conversation with anyone without exploding into a coughing fit. And when I finally got a new supply of cough drops earlier this week, the damn things are a factory defect because for some ridiculous reason, the menthol is not present. And this is a brand I've been using for many months now, and in the one time I really needed them, they are a freaking rip off. So now I gotta wait for a new resupply. I'd probably ask about those crutches too but damn my bad luck. I can't believe how much of a mess this whole situation has become. It's not helping my view of this country either. Just when I thought I turned things around ending 2013, 2014 has been off to a really frustrating start for me...

Want to know how bad my luck was? While my knee was bandaged, the only open spot was my knee cap area. A mosquito saw fit to bite not once, but 6 times in the same spot in a crescent moon shape.

Let's not forget that due to a communication error, I was not able to eat eggs in February except for 1 piece (don't ask). The food poisoning in December 2013, the event that started this chain reaction leading to the break down in my leg, and I couldn't eat eggs for the protein when I really needed them because of potential contamination of the eggs that were purchased (no way was I going to risk food poisoning again).

(By the way, if anyone was wondering about the timeline: food poisoning in December, left ankle hurt shortly after a very nasty mosquito bite, during my very slow recovery in January, the severe lack of protein (egg ban for one month) + my over exertion of my legs (I live in a 3 story apt) led to the breakdown in my just recovered left leg (Jan 23). LCL partially torn or separated, muscle in upper calf hurting is where I'm at now.)

The year is young, but my luck is too old for that spit

Health status? 70%. Maybe less. Recovering from my food poisoning incident was a slow process, whether it was my malnourished state or I was just too tired, I neglected the warning signs on my left leg, the same leg that had the ankle-bug-bite sprain. I was too pre-occupied with taking my supplements and watching what I eat (I put a 1 month ban on anything egg related), I did what ever it took to heal my ankle faster since that was more important, but I hadn't realized the slight pain in my knee was more serious than cramps.

I ended up injuring the ligament on my left knee, and it's back to hobbling around again. I am seriously putting way too much strain on my right leg, almost 2 months now I been putting what's left of my weight on it, once my left leg is fully healed I might end up with a kick boxer right leg >__>

And that's the gist of it. I am in a lot of pain and putting a lot of ice on it, wrapping it up, and I've got a few more writing assignments to do and it's just not looking good. Hadn't had a chance to give my 250GB hdd a proper funeral either :/
