Feeling A Bit Doomed

[aracaris]

I had to take several weeks off work because of health problems. Not the sort of things that ever go away, but things which I had hope of getting under control, at least well enough to work.
Well, I had managed to get things better under control, and pretty much have just started going back to work. Well, of course as soon as I go back to work, something else goes wrong. Today I managed to fall while getting out of the shower (I feel like such an old woman, never mind the fact I'm not even 30 yet). Now my foot hurts like hell if I try to walk, and is swollen enough I can't even get shoes on.
Argg!

*makes tea and ice pack* I'm sorry you are in pain.

 

[aracaris]

Thanks, tea is a good idea actually. I may have to hobble into the kitchen and get some.

I wish some sort of cosmic authority existed for the sake of ensuring periods of prolonged misfortune, like what you seem to be enduring at the moment, were recompensed. Like, tomorrow you'd wake up and there'd be so many muffins...so many muffins...muffins everywhere.

Then I wonder why we seem to be so concerned with the notion of 'balance', and why Mother Theresa wasn't forced to kick a puppy to make amends for all the good she'd allegedly done.

Hope things turn around!

Yeah that's how I feel.
Then again, if the Powers That Be had a cosmic insurance company, who's to say they wouldn't do what the earthly ones do, and charge an arm and a leg for not all that great of coverage?
So it would be something like this...
"What, I thought the deal was if fall and twist my foot I get a storm of muffins! One little muffin doesn't look a like a muffin storm to me!"

Call me a pessimist, but a mere mortal can only eat so many muffins. 10, maybe 20 on a good day. At some point, you're just making yourself sick. Meanwhile, these muffins are sitting around rotting, attracting ants, smelling not-so-good. So cheer up, is basically what I'm saying.

Also, what is it with this forum and breakfast foods? I hope it continues.

I think I've had similar days/weeks, where I've felt consistently shitty and couldn't seem to 'wake up'. Simple tasks are sometimes made difficult by this. What's funny is that it's often not at all physical; it's more of a mental block where everything becomes an adventure. And adventures aren't fun if you're hurting yourself. Hope you get well soon.

that creepy, glowering black man should nurse her back to good health.

Cheer up. We are all a bit doomed.

2012?.....

2012?.....

No. Death, mainly by old age.

 

[Gather_Wanderer]

Just...take your time.

That sucks that you fell out of the shower though. I'm actually about to go shower now so wish me well? It's rough out here, with these bathing facilities and their obviously malicious stance toward human beings..
