A few days ago...
My leg hurts like crazy!! 'Just a boil' can't be the reason. I'm going to med-c(the medical center) tomorrow.
The 'tomorrow' happened to be a Sunday.
So me and my roomie went to Sarvi(the Birla Sarvajanik Hospital) the Sunday evening which happened to be Valentines' Day.
One look at my wound and the doctor exclaimed,"Nasty!! Should have come days earlier!!"
Well, I would have if I had known. It's my first time! So much for pain-endurance.... :(
Me - "Uhh..Ouch! I-I didn't... OWW!! Aaahhh...I didn't know!"
And then the doctor and the 2 sisters there got into a flurry of activity...treating me.
Details omitted
I feel extremely grateful for the invention of the ANAESTHETIC.
I had to go to the doctor to get my wound dressed up every single day for the next 2 weeks or so. I also got a TT-shot and was prescribed meds for the next 5 days. Huge ones. And it hurt to even move.I could either stand or sleep. Sleep, only in one position.
The next day...
Me and my roomie went to Sarvi to change the dressing (as told by the doc). It was ok, (apart from the pain), until I was getting down from the bed. There was a Rat running across. Its a freaking HOSPITAL. Everything is supposed to be sterilized, or at least CLEAN. And they were treating me for a bacterial infection.
I am so gone!!!
A day later....
Again to Sarvi for getting dressed. This time I had to share the room(OT minor - Operating Theatre) with 3 other people who also had to get their wounds dressed. And it hurt like CRAZY!!!
I'm so hating this. :(
All this just as the T1(Test-1 series) week starts. Yes, I have it every alternate day till the beginning of next week. Besides I have to miss a lot of things..I am either in the wing or Sarvi, if not in the insti for a make-up or test. I hate being like this.
Pain- Physical, Mental and Emotional.
This is one of the times you wish to be home with mom and dad. Or at least for somebody who can be there for you 24x7, someone you can take for granted in your life.
This is the worst....not being able to do anything in life, especially when you feel all motivated and excited about things you can do, after a Long period of slacking off. When you are at a beginning-of-sorts. But one of the most amazing things I discovered, I never cried. Not a single tear. I whimpered, shook, screamed, grumbled, felt down, even wanted to cry. Never could. However hard I tried. In fact, I was laughing and smiling sometimes. I was amazed about myself. Wow! I survived so far without a single tear! Yay!!
I also realized that I lived in a 'perfect world' where I wasn't let close to any sort of major pain or even wounds that are like, normal in all hospitals. This is my first experience of such pain, never had it myself, never even saw somebody having it. Wow again. I yearn to go back to that 'Perfect World' which exists nowhere except at home with parents...where you grew up and made yourself, spent a major part of your life.
Well, it's time now. I have to go for lunch...the long way to the mess...limping all the way!!
