A swollen eye, a twisted back, and a painful hip... all in a day's work

It's been a while since my last blog entry. I've been so busy with school and personal work. I don't even use my PC as often as I used to. I used to log on every night... now there are days I don't even want to touch the computer in favour of my luxurious bed.

I've had a spate of minor bodily injuries this week. It started with a swollen eye on Sunday - I had to go to a doctor on Tuesday to get antibiotics and thankfully it has gone down by today. I can't meet parents tomorrow at the school's three-way conference with an inflamation on my beautiful eyes, right?

Then on Wednesday, I woke up with my lower right back feeling rather twisted. It only felt like a muscle twist though, because my spine didn't seem affected. (I should know - I had a serious back pain 2 years ago) No idea why, because I didn't do anything the day before. Typically, I get muslce sore especially in my back the day after gym (probably due to incorrect posture during my workout). I merely rubbed a heat rub and it seemed to help because on Thursday it wasn't so bad, although there was still a shadow of the pain.

This morning I thought finally everything in my body would be ok, but as the day got on I began to limp because there was a sharp pain in my left hip, which is probably due to my gym workout yesterday. I've corrected my posture so there's no more pain in my back, but I honestly don't know why there should be a pain in my hip.

Oh, and in addition, because I worked my legs out so much, my muscles are now very sore, which adds to the limp.

I'm really getting old.
