Today, I was in pain.
Actually, the pain was from last night. I haven't had a chance to blog about it because I was more concerned with my friend's emotional pain than my physical pain.
How did it happen?
When I was going home, I rode a tricycle/pedicab. The driver was familiar so I thought nothing was wrong. But then it occured to me, the pedicab that he was driving is not the usual unit that he drives. When we were near my stop and I told him to let me off, he was still speeding. I shouted stop to no avail but he wasn't responding. I got nervous because I felt that something is wrong. After a few houses, I was so nervous that I yanked his arm so that he would stop. He then stopped and I got this weird feeling. I suspect that the driver was under the influence because he had weird looking eyes. Thankfully someone was there. I paid my fare and immediately got out of there, but not before he said, would you like to ride again because I missed your stop. I said no thank you, and said nothing else to aggitate him. It was scary because I've read in the news that there are drivers like that and then they will drive you in the middle of nowhere and do bad things to you.
Anyway, since I was in a hurry to get the hell out of there, I walked so fast that I slipped on the gutter and my right foot landed badly, suffice to say I got a sprain. I didn't notice the pain until I got to the stairs and every step was very painful. I rested the night and opted not to talk to my boss so that I could recuperate. I was doing fine, well except I didn't do my usual leg exercises, I wouldn't want to be in that much pain. Anyway, on my way to work, the pain came back when I had to climb the overpass, and when I entered the office, everybody noticed that I was walking funny. I told them what happened, and they were worried about me. Though I was able to play Wii, I was bound to a chair with my foot outstretched. I was able to stand properly after some painkillers. My boyfriend doesn't know what happened. I don't want him to get worried. I'm getting suffocated as it is. I don't want him hovering every day. Yes, I'm getting bored with JC. Oh well, its probably a bad day so I feel this way.
The pain has subsided, for now. Hopefully I'm okay by tomorrow for my date with JC, as well as my feeling of boredom and suffocation. I hope that it is just a mood for today and nothing serious.

I'm so glad you got out when you did, though spraining your ankle is painful. Try to rest it and if you can, wrap it. You might still be a little wound up from your close call with the driver, so give it a little time with your feeling of hovering and suffocating with the boyfriend. At least if there's a problem with attention it's for too much rather than not enough! -

I really hope you get to feeling better soon, I know ankle sprains feel absolutely awful ... I'm the queen at that, lol, I've probably done it 15 times, enough so that all it takes is me stepping on a quarter inch round pebble wrong and my ankle wants to buckle. I agree with Uni, you're probably still a bit wound up, so I'd give JC some slack for now, then when things are back to their normal pace take an inventory of your feelings for him and the relationship again. Hope all gets better soon! -

Hope you feel better soon. You should report it to the police- if he did it to you he'll do it to someone else and they might not be as lucky. Just give a description of him and where you got on and off. Even if they don't check it out right away it could be useful later and you'll know you did something. Do it anonymously if you don't want anyone to know.. Do you have a tip-line near where you are? Might be an easy option :) -

Hello everyone!
I think I'm okay. Actually, it took quite a while for the event to really sink in. I have been okay for a day, and was able to shrug things off. But I think the things that happened around me this week, not just this incident, has taken its toll on me, and quite frankly, I have been letting it out on my boyfriend. I think I have been quite bitchy and even noticing the small things about him and thus my annoyance increases tenfolds. And I know that projecting my anger and irritation towards JC is wrong. Though I know that there are indeed things that we need to talk about.
I think I'll be taking a break this weekend, away from work, from family, and just spending the weekend at my apartment and not think. Yes, you heard me, I would NOT think. Not thinking is the best theraphy for me, for now, at least.
Thank you everyone for your concern, I really appreciate it. By the way, I think I can attribute some of my bitchiness to PMS. The medication that I'm taking is probably working, thus the regularization of my hormones (i.e. being bitchy).
Cheers and Thanks,
Jackie

Well good luck with that, definitely. I know what you mean in as far as needing time to NOT think. Sometimes it helps to just kind of mindlessly roll through a weekend or so to rejuvenate your brain so you CAN think of the stuff at a later date. Works perfectly as long as there's no time sensitive matters, lol. I hope you're able to really kick back and have an uneventful weekend!
