"How could this happen to me, I've made my mistakes, Got no where to run..."
The song that played in my mind while I was venting my frustration on that exercise mat.
"Can't believe I was a fool again"
It was not the creeping, emanating pain that bothered me.
It was becoming crippled. It was the becoming to be a burden to my friends then - I effectively wasted their time there; and to my parents - they would not sleep well. It was that dreaded morose situation I would be in that overwhelmed me - a long hiatus from my fun, active lifestyle.
Maybe this is a forced break (pun intended) from my current life. Was I overconfident? Is this punishment for engaging in extreme sports notorious for injuries?
What is certain though, I am not going to do any sports for next few months.
What is absolute though, I am warded - something which I have long dreaded to be
What is for sure though, I am now Titanium Man. Right now with my left arm bandaged, I can cosplay Megaman!
There is only so much that a hospital can provide in terms of service and care. But they can never fully ameliorate the boredom that is so characteristic of hospitals. Luckily I am mentally alert and have my dominant hand free; I am able to access the internet and chat with friends. Nevertheless, I shall pay all my sleep debts.
But the freaking phone network is quite shitty here - I am beside windows but my phone calls can still get disconnected and SMSes fail to be sent.
Well, this injury has also concretised my camp plans (more of cancellation). Somehow with this removal of activity, there is a removal of choices; but also the removal of my week long dilemmas and abolishing the need to ponder over decisions.
I am really very touched by the generous amount of attention I am gaining. I am also trying to be more proactive - by informing others whom I deem should know of my condition, rather than wait for them to find out. To quote someone: "walau why such important things also don't want to tell me". However, I still wish for more - well it is quite comforting and gratifying to know that people are concerned for you, but the effect is enhanced when the concern comes from people you feel special to.
and i typed all these with 1 hand (:
