My leg...oh my leg...!

Okay,I can conclude I'm one of the most clumsy and accident-prone people on Earth. No kidding. I MUST sustain a major injury at least once every few months,and each time,it's a torture to both body,soul,and the people around me *grins*

This time,though,it sounds really really dumb. I fell into a drain. I'm serious. I happened to be walking along this really dark road lined with uncovered drains that reach right up to my knees,and under the dim glow of a distant street light,the chasm looked like a patch of dark green grass. Ah,so without really looking carefully,I just planted my left leg on top of the "grass",and hey presto! Three sets of scabs that looked as though some damn fierce alley cats got seriously pissed at me for tresspassing their territory or something. Damn. How fucking embarrassing. It was funny at first,knowing I FELL INTO A DRAIN,but when the pain started setting in,it was no longer funny. It was this slow,stinging pain that seared right from the scraped skin all the way to the raw,bloody interior. Yeah,OUCH. I then started sniffing,which turned to full-blown tears cascading uncontrollably. I immediately thought of calling my brother,who is most probably still out now with a car,but ring ring ring and no answer. Okay,so I had to limp to the bus stop,and once under the lights,I got to see how fucking disgusting the injuries were. Bloody,mixed with unknown whitish body fluids that just kept dripping and streaming...ewww! And the pain,oh the pain,it was just unbearable man!

I was like,really biting my lip when I finally got on the bus and all the while there was this insupressable urge to burst out screaming from the pain. Somehow,I managed to hold it all in until I reach home and got my mum to attend to it,and boy,did the screams come! Look at how bloody the wounds were! *shudders*


Many thanks to everyone for your concern,after seeing my big mummified leg...Ahhh,though the most common reaction was,"Which guy were you looking at?" Haha,ironically,I wasn't looking at anything,that's why I couldn't see the drain!

My mum just removed the gauze and bandage a few minutes ago...and fuck it!!! It hurts like the dickens...as in really really hurts! She had to be slow in removing the stubborn gauze that stuck like glue due to the dried blood and pus and whatever disgusting liquids...UGH! And hey,looks what under all that crap...no wonder it hurts so bad. It still hurts now though,after she put this thick whitish antiseptic cream that looked sickeningly like mayonaise. Hmm...mayonaise and sardines in tomato sauce? Not bad an analogy...
