   incapacitated
So a couple of days ago (Thursday) I had an early lab and I had to leave really early because it takes an hour to get to the university by bus and it was still dark. Now between my house and the bus stop there aren't sidewalks for most of the way. I have to walk through the weeds and gravel by the side of the road. I was hurried because I wanted to make sure that I would catch the bus and at some point I tripped. I don't know what it was I fell on--because it was dark--and I've fallen before, so I just went on. When I get on the bus, where they have overhead lights on in the back half, I looked at my right hand cuz it hurt and on the thumb pad down toward my wrist there was a scrape, but there was some skin over it kinda like a blister that was sliced mostly off. It was dirty and strangely kinda swollen so I cleaned it as best I could with a Kleenex and water from my bottle. I then ignored it because I'm clumsy and always getting myself wounded like that and therefore didn't think much of it... but throughout the day I noticed that it was swollen and sore. That night I was doing the dishes and noticed a red streak following the path of one of my veins down my wrist--about 7 cm long. My mother was afraid it was blood poisoning so I minimized my movements with it and the next day (Friday. Yesterday.) went to the university health center. They gave me an appointment for that afternoon and then I had two classes in which I very clumsily took notes with my left hand. I then went back for my appointment and the doctor told me it was some kind of infection and that if I'd left it for a couple more days it'd've gotten really nasty and infected and put me on antibiotics. Then he said to "minimize repetitive movements" with my hand--which means no computer, no Nintendo, no writing, no painting, no drawing! For a week! So I'm VERY slowly tapping this out with just my left hand and trying to use the mouse with my left hand which is damned slow and hard. So that's where I've been. I'm not gonna be spending a lot of time on, obviously, so I'm sorry but I'm not gonna get around to everyone's sites for awhile or be able to answer messages in anything but short. I don't have hours on end to spend typing out at twenty words a minute or whatever speed this is. This post has taken almost an hour already, when normally something of this length would take me five minutes. (Those times are literal, you know.) So I'm sorry. Man, this sucks... I'm already bored from having nothing to do... thankfully my obasan and I are going to take my oniisan some socks and jeans at his university and there are two good bookstores on the way... and I LOVE to sit in the bookstore and read manga! that'll probably be the highpoint of my weekend...
