The world is filled with caring people
The weathers real cold and feeling really strange after taking 2 morphine filled painkillers perscribed by the surgeon.
Damn! Its sure making me relaxed but cant sleep.
Tot i lost the pills yesterday and went to the polyclinic and wanted to ask for more. Taking this thing and get caught will land yourself into deep shit i shall warn you. Morphine is a Class A drug that might land you into the hangmans moose.
Back to the topic. Wanted to redress the wound and hopefully replace the morphine pills as i have skipped several doses cos i left the pills under my hydro pack (water in cups spill twice a day) and cant find them. After getting to the clinic, i requested for a wheel chair and its the non ‘kiao kah’ one. Damn! How to sit that thing since cannot kiao kah(elevate the injured leg in some cases like mine). So i stuck to my clutches and went to the doctor. After the consulting the doctor whom declined me morphine but some useless general low grade pain killers which are better than nothing.
Then there is this chinese budhist monk in his 70s on a wheel chair asking me why am i on clutches with a smile. I replied that i fell. You take care of yourself. And whats your religeon? He asked. I replied buddhism. Eat more vegetables. I will pray a good recovery for you. I was touched for such a simple gesture have given me a better will to live my life to the fullest with strangers caring for me.
Went for a smoke while waiting to go to the dressing room when i found that the stone benches are all filled with fucking uncles just staring at me. Great! Singaporeans that dont even fuck care. When this auntie is just sitting there with her husband offered her seat and asked what happend to my leg. And here it goes again. I fell down. But this time, this auntie asked a little more. What they did to my knee in the treatment? I replied that they put in some inserts into my knee and will bio-degrade in 2 years time. Thanking the auntie before she left.
There i went to the dressing room not knowing how to open the door with two hands filled with clutches. So i opened the door a little and asked for help. So there was the nurse 2 heads shorter than me(haha i know i should not laugh but shes really short) . I was told to lie on the bed hip high and i rejected since its sooo high that i cant get up. And the nurse screamed at me. I was like what the fuck! Ok lo. She lowered the bed and i got up. Removed the crepe bandage and the padding, revealing the blood stained butterfly taped on my 3 inch long stich, 1 hole that look as good as getting stabbed by a pen and 2 x 1inch sticthes.
Got the butterfly tape out was pretty painful and the nurse got some antiseptic lotion applying them not so gentlely, drying them up with gauze and finishing with opsite sheet and gauze on the 3 inch long wound and opsite spray on the smaller wounds.
Great! Can bathe without wrapping my knee in garbage bags and duct tape.
Went to the pharmacy for the painkillers which were actually some no use sleeping pills, nausea and gastric pills.
There, i was making an excuse to get out of the polyclinic ASAP to the receptionist. After getting the que number getting out of the super squeezy line, the whole pharmacy was so damn packed with no seats ever gonna be vacant. Dammit i said to myself. This time, i will have a real bad day. Theres this ah soh in her 80s gave up her seat to me that i was reluctant to have it since she look more in need of the seat than me. Some poor fucks with fake LV bag and rose pink lip stick just stare. As thou she owns the seat which is sticked with PLEASE GIVE THIS SEAT TO THE ELDERLY and something like that. Fuck man! Can you fucking read miss fakey?
I am left with no choice but to take the seat the ah soh gave me thanking her profusely. One thing PM Lee didnt mention on national day rally apart from keeping the right lane clear on the esclator, kiao kah in the bus and so on. Its to give up your fucking seats to the more needed.
Like what Anthony Bourdain said in A cooks tour, stock brokers, white collars. Get your ass off the seats and let the more deserved have it. I shall say that i agree to it. You are seatting on a comfy chair for the last 8 hours of work while its a priverlage to have our asses on the chair for 5 minutes during work.
