MMMiii!

For the first time, I went to the hospital uber willingly — Yes, I did, despite my phobia. Sure, I went there with teary eyes and a limp, but I wanted to try getting stronger painkillers — which I didn’t get. No, it’s not that I wasn’t in pain so much, but my university’s infirmary’s pharmacy didn’t have it. Stupid doctor, prescribing me medication which did not exist!

Anyway, the conversations I am about to post that took place at the hospital were in Filipino but I shall translate them anyway for the sake of my readers.

Upon arriving in the UP Diliman Infirmatay [read: inFER-mah-TAI (Infirmary + Patay [dead]… because people accidentally die there) ER…

Receptionist: What do you need?
Mi: I sprained my ankle.
Receptionist: Okay, fill this out.

And so I fill it out… and she makes me wait… standing…

We had make-up classes today because we started the quarter late, but the exams didn’t get moved, plus those days of no classes, and another day will be missed Friday next week, the Friday before exams. My class started at 8 am.

I left the house at 7 am and stood in front of the gate for about 10 minutes. Five (5) empty taxi cabs later with drivers who refused to take me, I limped towards the intersection, crossed the street and tried flagging more empty taxi cabs. I don’t remember how many empty taxi drivers refused me anymore, but I was in pain and I wanted to cry. I had tears falling but it wasn’t full-blown crying yet.

FINALLY, after 30 minutes of waiting, a taxi cab finally stopped in front of me and I said KATIPUNAN and sobbed. I complained to the taxi driver that the other drivers refused to take me and that I was in pain and that I needed to go to school and I cried and cried until I felt better.

I made it barely on time — 7:55am. I scribbled some questions my ST told me I needed to take up, and then limped with her to the classroom.

As usual, my class was a pain in the ass– and foot.

A-ah~ The quarter is almost over.

Anyway, TAXI DRIVERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHOOSE CUSTOMERS RIGHT??? Isn’t there a law or something like that? DAMN THEM.

I sprained my ankle today. I’d like to celebrate this as a first, have pictures taken. Like celebrating something that is worth putting in a digital frame and placed on your desk.

But it hurts like hell. My ankle is swollen on both sides (inner and outer) and it’s so painful to walk.

Yesterday, I was still able to manage. But last night, and now this morning, stepping that foot is scary and painful.

But I can’t miss class. Classes end in a few days. Exam is on the 15th and 16th. I can only teach them until the 11th. There’s no way I can miss a class. Like they say, the show must go on. Only a few days more… I’ll try to manage.
