I'm on leave, damn it!

Think nice thoughts, not work! Have updated the nice message that pops up whenever people email me -"I am on hospitalization leave." Shall hereby resolve not to open email unless someone calls and asks me to check email because have finally come to the realization that working is stressing me out. I feel guilty but doing work is not doing my body favours. Yeah, it's just my leg but I need the rest of my body to help me heal. I'm not doing a good job convincing myself. But my hubby and a few friends have said I shouldn't be working. So, I shall listen to them.

Have managed to avoid going to the doctor. Nurse said it's normal for the cast to loosen.

My student has helped me a lot because he understands what I'm going through. He knows how I think negative things when I'm alone. He is such an inspiration. He went through much, much worse. Fell six storeys. Injured seven parts on his spine. Thought he wouldn't be able to walk. He's fine now although has some metal parts in his thigh and ankle I think. Which sometimes hurts. He spent one month in the hospital. Anytime I need to talk to someone, he will be there for me. Aww...so sweet. (Just like my long-suffering husband who sacrifices his sleep when I can't sleep and need to talk.) It's a miracle that my student can walk after falling seven storeys while his peer, who fell three storeys, is paralysed neck down.
