My Asylum

What Else Can Go Wrong?

Yesterday we had a dance rehearsal. Meetings unattended, appointments set aside. I accidentally put all my weight on my right foot’s penultimate toe (second to the last, that is, beside "pinkie", hehe) and I could swear it didn’t smash but did break. Moments later, as the practice progressed on with numerous re-doings, at a time my right foot slipped over where it should land and stand still (on the right lap of my right leg’s caretaker on that particular stunt) and I fell, my life flashed before my eyes. I thought my head would crash on the hard, cement floor but thanks to my fast-acting neurons, my left hand came to support me before my head would smash. When I woke up this morning, I could only feel the pain on my broken toe, almost limping when I walk. Also, when I woke, I felt something like a hard or thick part on my LLQ (left lower quadrant) and it came to me almost at once that it is a lump, might be a tumor, or what. But after defecation, hmm, it felt softer although there still is an obvious thickened part as I palpated it. I need to have this a close and keen watch from me. Can it be CANCER? I could only hope it isn’t. And if it is, then goodbye world.

Later this day, I will go on with my hospital duty. So what else could go wrong? I won’t say "expect the unexpected among expectations", but rather I’d say "prepare for whatever might happen, and don’t just expect for the worst but also hope for the best."
