four-leaf clover
I know I recently expressed gratitude for the relatively mild extent of my back problem. But you know how happiness levels adjust - hot water starts to feel lukewarm after getting used to it, even if the temperature hasn't changed.So anyway, I'm here to complain, so humour me.
First it's being careful how I walk, stand, sit, move, twitch, so that I don't further aggravate the condition. Next it's wearing a brace all the time, except when I'm lying down, which causes me to have an unsightly bulge that needs to be hidden under loose or layered clothing. The first and second combine to make me look suspiciously like a pregnant lady, and makes me paranoid in trying not to appear like one, especially on the train, in fear of being given a priority seat. Especially when I also have to wear flats all the time. I think some of my colleagues might even suspect so, encouraged by the fact that I received decorative bibs for my birthday. What impeccable choice! Haha.
One last whine: this morning I felt I was going blind as my eyes felt distinctively minty after putting on my contacts. The reason for that? Minty ointment (for the troubled leg) that refuses to go away after multiple washes with soap. And multiple purpose solution do not rid mint at all.
*small sigh*
Still, I'm grateful that it's nothing too serious, I am. I write to whine to forget. And to remind myself I am lucky. :) Happy "Friday!"
