Thomas Ong’s Japan trip was cut short by an accident on Oct 25.
The 57-year-old local actor shared in a Facebook post on Nov 1: “Sometimes, the timing of an incident is even more astonishing than the actual event.”
The photo accompanying his post shows him at an airport, sitting on a wheelchair with his right ankle bandaged and holding on to his clutches.
He had initially planned a 45-day trip in Japan, which only lasted over 10 days because of his injury.
Thomas, who did not reveal how it occurred, wrote: “The doctor gave me two options. One was surgery to place a metal plate in the fractured bone, and I could start moving more freely after about two weeks.
“The other option was to skip surgery but plaster [my leg] and let the bone heal on its own. No matter which, the doctor said it would take about six weeks of recovery time.”
When he heard it, he immediately did the math, as he was supposed to serve as a tour guide for a trip to Europe on Dec 7.
“It just happened to be in six weeks. In that moment, I didn’t feel I am unlucky. Instead, I felt an indescribable kind of gratitude, because if this accident had happened two weeks later, I might not have been able to go on that Europe trip,” Thomas shared.
