The trauma of becoming immobile at the height of your career and at a very young age of 30 is pretty scary. We may not know exactly the rationale behind this scenario but somehow it will get you into a lot of soul searching. There was a point in my life when I became and almost incapacitated for a week. One day I just woke up and found myself unable to walk due to a swollen left ankle.

Even though I was healthy, I was forced to just sit still, lie down and be carried around in the house to avoid further damage to both my feet. I was a baffling experience because there were no visible reasons why it happened. After all the medical tests and physical consultations, doctors never found what was wrong with my foot. In fact, I was only advised to resort to a natural method of curing it which is through ‘reverse osmosis’. Thus every night I would dip my feet in warm water with salt. I did take this temporary immobility seriously so I did a lot of research online to find out possible causes for my swollen feet. Admittedly, it sometimes reached the point of paranoia as my surfing starts to look up for aids or tools for people with disability like wheel chair, freedom wand, and crutch.
