Actually, my body has been a pretty good sport. Right from last year, it meekly kept saying it needed a break, but kept quiet and submitted to my relentless pushing. This year, it simply has declared exhaustion, and here I am. Hmmm. Quite a lesson. Every doctor I went to over the last few months had advised me to "take it easy", a worthy piece of sensible advice I sadly found difficult to follow, so this is what I finally had to take instead:
(That's just my arm partially covered by a pink cloth from the elbows down, in case you are in danger of freaking out)
What I miss a lot is being able to drive my car, a beat up old Maruti 800 whose exterior belies the power of the engine underneath.
It's a drag having to depend on other people for transportation. I miss my independence. Boo hoo! In a gesture of defiance one day last week, I drove myself to work. Even if three of my physiotherapists hadn't berated me for doing it, I had already silently conceded defeat. I was in pain.
Well, on to more cheerful things. A few weeks ago, met fellow bloggers Illusionaire, DaGGylo, J, Vana and mIRC king Simjazz for lunch, which was really nice. I won't tell you who is who... but you're welcome to guess!
This is what I ate:
So, that's about it for now. In keeping with my resolution to take better care of myself, I will try to sleep early tonight.
Take care, everyone. Seriously. Take care.

ReplyDeleteGood to see rebound with a post as engaged and revived. Hey, to talk shop, I came across your translation of the Mizo myth of origins on the the storyteller page and thought i might tease out more details or even the paper of which it was a part from you. Can?
ReplyDeleteHey I didn't realise it was that bad. Thought you were just taking regular physio up at the hospi. You need iv feeds and stuff? And what's that contraption in the first picture? That was a nice little lunch, wasn't it? Get set to do a lawrkhawm meet soon while BW's in town :) And puhleeeze, take better care of yourself. Listen to your docs!
ReplyDelete@puia nia, inhliam hranpa vak poh a ni chuanglo, battery a low a ni ber e. Lo leng lut leh vat roh aw.
ReplyDelete@philo, Thanks. Yes, can and will send you the text if you can give me your email add.
@calliopia, well, I'm over the worst now. The contraption in the first picture is an IV bag hanging on one of my mom's "artistically" inspired coat hangers. Oh Hey, by "contraption", I hope you didn't mean my car! Looking forward to the lawrkhawm meet.
Appreciate it. lalruatkima@hotmail.com.
