I gotta admit it, I can be a little bit obsessive when it comes to certain things and while that has proven to be one of my biggest traits when it comes to certain aspects of my life; truth be told, it has also lead me into certain situations I wish I could have avoided.
Let me start by saying that I was naive when I thought I could be installed and living in the new place by now. It’s always the minor things that leave you off track. So, when that didn’t happen two weeks ago, I started to push things. It seems now, that a little too much.
Ending up in the hospital on Tuesday, was life’s way to tell me to slow down. I guess that reaching barefoot for my glass-covered nightstand as support to hang those blinds, wasn’t a good idea after all. I knew that, the minute I heard the crack and saw blood running.
I won’t turn this into a TMI post, let’s just say that there were a lot of tears, a lot of blood and a lot of gauzes coming and going that afternoon. I was lucky enough to save myself from getting stitches, but I didn’t save myself from the crutches. Yes, the last 48-hours have felt like weeks already and I can’t wait until next Monday when they’ll tell me if I can stand in my two feet again or if I’d need to wait another week.
So, that same determination that has lead me, throughout my life, to set my mind unto something, pursue it and work around anything to make it happen; is the same trait that has me here today.
Tonight, I’m laying in not-my-own bed, frustrated and bothered by the fact that such a stupid action is preventing me from installing those blinds (the last thing to be completed before I could finally move in). My back and neck are hurting from using the crutches. Tonight, I’m pushing myself to look at the glass half full and trying not think about the major scar I’m gonna carry for the rest of my life and the hassle that something as simple as taking a shower is gonna be tomorrow morning!
