Hmm, i don't know why, but firefox is acting up again, i can't write Japanese, but oh whatever..

with regards to the title.. in the post.. Touched.. i mentioned briefly that i've recently sustained some injuries.. well it's been 3-4 days since then, and instead of getting better it got worse...

on the day of the event, after reaching home i took a shower, and that's when it began to hurt and swell, so i placed an ice pack on it.. it was nothing big then.. just a bruise, and some swelling.. so my parents and i thought nothing about it..

and well though it hurt a lot whenever i blinked, but it couldn't be helped...

on the 3rd day.. my mom suggested that i go see a doctor.. she's been like this lately.. haha ever since the post where i said she was kind of "cold hearted".. haha... but it's nice of her to show she cares anyway :) not that she never did in the past.. she just wasn't good at it.. and well let's face the fact.. she deals with sick people so much, that she got immune to it.. hence the "cold bloodedness" but i digress..

anyway she suggested i see a doctor.. but i was thinking..it's only the 3rd day and i feel like it's getting better.. besides what medication do we expect the doctor to give.. it's just a bruised eye...

so we let it pass, among dinner jokes that night, that if i did go to the hospital, the authorities would suspect that i was abused.. or that if we had a nosy neighbour who might call the cops because of my one bruised eye.. haha..

on the 4th day however... it was no laughing matter.. the swelling instead of going down like the day before, actually swelled up... my dad being a layman in this area.. merely just shrugged his shoulders.. till my mom, upon her return from work gave and exclamation of shock when she saw me...

so i was right, it felt like it had swelled and hurt more.. and i was right, it did indeed swell more... so after lunch my mom insisted that i see the doctor.. and since it has taken a turn for the worse i agreed... so the 3 of us bundled into the car and headed to the hospital...

you know, it's a good thing that my mom works in the hospital.. and well... i know it's unfair to others, but i guess it's a sort of privilege.. well, i mean if someone jumped ahead of me in a queue i wouldn't be very happy, [queues in department and grocery stores are a different matter though] but if i knew that she worked there.. i would be more understanding... again i digress..

anyway, thanks to that.. seeing the doctor plus taking my medication took me almost 3 hours... imagine if my mom doesn't work there.. how long would i have been waiting...i wouldn't even be able to make it for my class which was in the evening... but again, that's not really the point here...

the point was that.. the doctors whom i met for my consultation.. it was kind of funny, and painful at the same time..

I saw 2 doctors, because i needed to see the general one before being sent to a specialist..

the first doctor, i.e the general one.. was surprised that i took such a short time to see him.. but nevertheless inspected me...

well, anyone seeing a girl with a swelled up bruised eye, would ask what happened..

so i just said.. my mom accidentally hit me... (i was with my dad that time, my mom went to her clinic to get some things for me..) my dad and i explained how it happened, at the shopping mall, bending over getting kneed.. etc.

i think he didn't buy the story.. he looked a little fierce and asked so where is the mother.. and he asked that at least 3 times.. it was so funny... well it's good that they are serious.. i mean there could be real abused victims out there.. but the look on the doctor's face was like.. how could anyone hit a girl...

it was funny, because the night before we were joking about the authorities catching my mom on supposedly abuse, and well because it was an accident and the doctor's face was so serious..

after that my mom showed up.. and the hilarity ensued, because my mom knew the doctor personally.. they were in a way work colleagues haha.. when he saw my mom he accepted the accident story and laughed along with us...

doing what he could.. and causing me some pain, as he had to inspect the injured eye... that's where my pain story comes in.. but it's brief, he had to open the eye wide to take a look, which ended with me in some pain.. he then referred me to a specialist.. which usually, one would have to come the next day to meet...

but i'm lucky.. i just waltzed in.. waited less than 1o minutes, and to the specialist it was...

with the specialist, i went through another round of torture, as he checked my eye to see how bad the damage was... and also, i went through another around of disbelief that it was an accident...

looking at me, he didn't look pleased to see a bruised eye on a girl.. and i was getting the questions.. what happened.. and i said my mom hit me, accidentally.. picking up a shoe and all..

and he merely just nodded.. though he seemed kind of suspicious haha.. the serious looks.. well if it wasn't an accident this wouldn't have been funny to me...

oh did i mention that the specialist seemed somewhat familiar to me? i felt like i've seen him somewhere before, and when he saw me, he did a sort of double take [could be my imagination, but if it wasn't could he have seen me somewhere before too? but he's like at least 30 years old.. where could i have met him before then?].. but i can't explain where i saw him before.. but oh well.. it's not really of importance.. back to the story..

when he was almost done inspecting my eye.. he asked what part of my mom hit me.. her fist? and he actually clenched his fist as an example, i suppose.. i was sort of taken a back.. so i said.. ermm no, her knee.. i was bending over at that time.. his look was like shocked.. as if he was saying.. "what the knee? as if a fist wasn't bad enough" that kind of look.. but he merely nodded. as my mom entered the room.. he made no comment..

well i don't know if he bought the story, cause my mom was worried... worried that my eye got infected, and well sometimes this viruses can travel to the brain, and i could end up with a high fever and end up brain damaged...

but, the story was funny to the 3 of us, because as a law student, i was saying.. the doctors were all so suspicious, which is good... and we were joking about the penalty for the assault haha.. i mean it can't be child abuse since i'm a legal adult, and i was saying.. i was wondering if it's compoundable (means the accused pays money to the victim with the promise that the victim will not pursue the matter in court) haha.. to which my dad laughed, give me the money and i give it back to them haha..

for my mom, it might not have been so much of a laughing matter, since i guess she feels guilty, but hey, i was just trying to lighten the mood..

after the two doctors.. i think my bruise was slightly aggravated.. but i survived.. it cost us 40 bucks and 3 hours, and well a little pain and suffering on my part, but we got a lifetime of laughter, and that's priceless :p

the ever optimist? we will see how it goes... hope my eye gets better now that i've started on the medication...

i think i really need anti-dandruff shampoo.. somehow i miraculously got myself dandruff about 2-3 weeks/ a month ago.. the itchiness is driving me nuts.. i think i'll have to nag my dad tomorrow to get me a bottle of head and shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo...

darn the dandruff....

P/S: Is it just me, or am i allergic to the pain killers? o_O"
