The Fall

I had a fall at work yesterday. It was bad. The corridor was slippery, I slipped and fell, hitting bulls eye right onto my tailbone. Major ouch! I had to be rushed to the A&E, the hospital where I had my spine surgery done. After all the x-rays and checks done, the x-ray showed no signs of fracture. Phew. Even after all these years, ever since that surgery, I am always afraid of x-rays when it concerns my spine or anywhere along it. 

I am right now recovering painfully in bed. It is definitely no fun. It hurts when I walk, hurts when I lie on my back, hurts even more when I need to get up from my bed to walk to the washroom. It even hurts as I type this entry in bed. 

This fall did however made me think of some stuff. As I sat on my wheelchair waiting for the X-rays and the doctor to examine my condition, I thought about how my personal life has slowly seem to be non-existent. I have been swamped with many stuff that I chose not to work on my social life. I gave up quite a number of things this year to focus on some other stuff. I am not sure if that was the right move or the right thing to do now. What I do know however, it is time to work on that aspect again. Balance, they say. 

So once my tailbone is up and rocking again, I am going to do something. Wait for it.
