From the fall, well,
first of all I learn the danger of roller blade. Hahahha
Secondly, I learned that you suppose to use your hand to support your fall, and never to let your butt take it directly no matter how thickly ‘cushioned’ your butt is.
Thirdly, I learned that tailbone is the one that is working to support our body weight when we sit down or lay backward. So that’s why injuring it made you can’t sit. Or sport like cycling could injure your tailbone.
Fourthly, I get to know where to find Chinese physician centre. There’s one nearby my house. And the lady named Li Bing could massage real hard. She made me almost cried. And some aunties at the clinic asked her,’ Bing, are u massaging or delivering babies?!’
Fifth, oh, this should be anywhere above. I am glad that I work out some savings. Other than cares from other human being, the next thing that I needed the most during that time –and glad that I had it- is money. Dammit, beside my tailbone, it hurts my wallet too!
Sixth, I get to know that my office chair is a cheap one without ergonomic support. The injured tailbone tells everything.
Seventh, this is one that I had never or would never think of before. I give thanks to God for the good weather, or when the bus arrives early, or when I arrived home safely, or when I look into the mirror and see no pimples in my face, or for my foods.
I bet none of you will guess rightly.
Now every morning when I go out from the house, when I bend down to pick my shoes and wear the strips, I thank God, for I am able to wear my shoes again without pain.
You know, when I just injured my back, it hurts even with a slight bend, forward or backward. So it was really hard to wear or undress – especially long pants, or sweeping the floor or even to brush teeth – I ended up making my shirt wet for few days–, coz it hurts to bend forward. It made me feel miserable too.
And my daily shoe is one with sticking strips. Er, hope you know what I mean. So earlier, I need to flip my leg upward really carefully just to wear my shoe.
It recovers fast, and day by day the pain reduces and I can bend my body further. Upon realizing this, I feel…enlighten. ‘Hey, I found one more thing to be grateful for everyday.’
And eighth, probably, I grew wiser slightly. Hopefully a more thoughtful person I had become. Now I feel for the elderly more. Or those handicapped people. What I thought as ‘simple act’ might not be equally simple to them. I mean, of course it had always been that way. Just that I didn’t see or feel it that much previously.
This is also definitely something that wont come to my understanding had I not been in the pain myself.
Ninth, the next time doctor gave me pain killer; I should reject it or ask for smaller portion. The pain is a direct complain from body telling me, ‘hey don’t do this, I cant take it’ so I know how far can I bend today, or how fast can I walk now, or else if I had keep taking the painkiller, I am sure I would be triple careless and it would had taken longer time to heal right?
Well, thank you universe for everything. Hope I will get to discover more of it in the near future. And please, continue to make me a stronger and wiser person.
