"Determined. Heroic. Insipiring.
These have been some of the words to describe Senn's Ironman performance. She finished with a personal best of 16:01:00 and completed almost the entire 226km with a one inch gash on her right foot.
But performances like these come with a price.
Upon our return from Langkawi, she was admitted to the Damansara Specialist Hospital. Her foot had swollen up and had gotten infected. Apparently, with a wound so deep, it should not have been stitched up. As it was, there was an accumulation of pus in the wound which caused the swelling and infection.
At the hospital just now, the doctor had open up the stitches to let the pus out. His advice was to be admitted so that her foot remains immobile and elevated. If she were to return home, she may be moving about which may cause it to take longer to heal. So it's all good, she just needs to rest her foot.
I've just returned from the hospital. She's in good spirits and has not lost any of her sense of humour. For now, though, she needs her rest.
For the pain she had to endure during the race and after, she truly is an Ironman."

Salute to Senn. You wouldn't had known she sustained an injury if you did not ask.
ReplyDeleteI salute you Senn.
It bring tears in my eye as i watch her suffer during the run. I just felt so helpless not knowing how else to help. I didnt want to record to much of the pain on camera..
