My Leg, My Foot and MY DETTOL

Oh Gosh, I didn't what went wrong. I had a small cut, very minor one, and the small scratches that usually you will tend to ignore. I didn't even realise that I had a cut until 2 days later, as it became more painful. And when took a look, it was already a bit infected, having a bit of inflammation.
And I realised this while I was on the plane, on the way to Guangzhou (GZ). And the agony started after that. I took shower, and cleaned my so call wound with a bottle of antiseptic I brought with me. I went for my sleep, gosh, the next morning when I woke up, it became very painful that walking seemed to be a problem. I was limping to the washroom. And I could not really walk, as it became quite painful, though the wound looked rather small or almost nothing. Then I went to my office, and then my colleague brought me to a city hospital in GZ (I am not going into details here, as visiting a hospital in China is actually very tedious, you have to climb one floor to another, and visiting one department to another. And if my colleague was not with me, I was not sure if I could make it back home...........as I was already limping. And thank goodness, they clean my wound, and dress it. And gave me some medicine, and some spray. And I left, going back to office. Then to walking for my lunch, about 1KM away, raining, and walking back, then went to a customer's place in the afternoon, running after a taxi to send us back to office (under the rain) and then finally for our dinner, again, walking around to search for restaurant. By the time I reach hotel, my leg almost 'paralyzing', the wound now became reddish and swollen. And I could not move it anymore. After shower, I applied by spraying the solution and 2 more times through the nite. In the morning, I excuse myself from visiting a customer, because more walking means I might not be able to use my foot anymore..... And then I was suppose to go to Shanghai, but thank goodness, my colleague mentioned that I should not go, as taking care of the problem is more important. I appreciate their care..... and by the time I reached home, the wound has swollen into twice its original size, and reddish. After my shower, and talking to my friend in Taiwan, Dr. Devil, I applied some Dettol cream, a lot of that, before my sleep (I dreamed of my dad in my dreams,,,haha) and then when I woke up, the swelling had subsided and I could walk better. Later on, I visited another Doctor in Beijing to make sure it was fine. The Doctor said, oh meiwenti, it is recovering. I will give you another cream, you can just applied it. And if you have any problem, come to see me again (cipiak punya Doctor, macam ini pun boleh cakap ke). And I have to fork out another RMB 120 for a bottle of cream. In GZ, I paid another RMB 120. And it is better now, and I trust and hope it will be better soon.
The point that I learn from this is to take care of the small cut, no matter how small it is, esp. in environment that we are new with, where the bacteria and germs are not our 'friends' still. In Malaysia, these bacteria will not attack me, because they are environmental friendly. Just joking:). My colleague in KL, Jenna, suggested me to paste a picture here. I said NOooooooooooooooo.

And I am grateful too for the support given by my colleagues-friends.
