Pain

Melodramatically titled post?
Not sure- I've been thinking about pain andI keep seeing my sister's face.

I remember when she first mentioned, the abdominal cramp and pain - immediately after eating. That day after breakfast - she had to lie down trying to cope with the pain...

I was badgering her to go to a GP to check out the problem - she said she would. I think she delayed going to the doctor for more than a month.

I remember - how she lookedon 13 Jan - trying to reach out to each of us who visited her. her right hand extending - gaze clouded by drugs and filled with pain and fear!

She was afraid and in pain and I could only mumble silly things like - don't worry chechi, it'll get better, we'll go home soon...

We took her home on 15 Jan - somehow that was not a journey I imagined... pain on everyones faces - my brother-in-law, my nieces, my parents.

I saw her in my dream yesterday - pain etched face, trying to touch me.

What happens when...

As mentioned earlier - has been a hectic 2 months - body and brain have temporarily shutdown - I was thinking the word 'over' the other day and few words kept popping up - overworked, overwhelming, overused, overreach... I think I'd do well in scrabble if someone gave me an 'er'word!'

Down with throat infection and doctor advised strongly for 'voice rest.' Hence I type away. Took the day off from work yesterday and got a snide remark from boss for that! REALLY - people take a chill pill!

That apart I have read enough political commentaries and economy reports - decided I would look at other generes for a change- SO!

I have been reading and reading - ... the chosen genere has been erotica - it has turned out to be VERY interesting! :)

I am checking out few more authors - it will be interesting to see what they have to say!

Life's OK!
