1. KS
Monday begins with my therapist electrocuting me. He explains that the electric currents will serve to remind my muscles to contract. Without they ability to recover this memory, I will never be able to straighten my arm, nor flex it past 90 degrees.
I get strapped up.
We do a test...
He adds heating pads wrapped in towels and begins the pushing and pulling work.
Then he instructs me to contract my muscles each time the current reverberates through me.
Therapist- So we are adding four elements; heat, force, muscle contraction, and electricity! KS, ok?!
Huh?
Therapist- KS! Kia Su! Do everything at once! The Singapore way!
(Oh. Work Harder.)
2. Orizuru
In Japanese Class, Sensei concludes the afternoon with an origami exercise.
Sensei- Ja, watch carefully ne, follow me. Fold into half... E-to... Tammy-san... maybe I have to help you...
Orizuru- folded crane.
Sensei's Orizuru is so magical when you tug at its tail, it can flap its wings!
3. Mushi
Sorry, Sensei. Gomenasai. I am simply terrible at following instructions to a T. You know, I really like independent thought, and play, and imagination, and breaking rules.
Sorry Sensei! Orizuru wa mushi-mitai!
Mushi- Insect.
(My crane looks like an insect!)
