Sunday's sermon was very interesting! I can't remember the specifics, but to summarise, it's important to change for the better(meaning that we should not to hold grudges if we are having one now & stop whatever sinful activities if we are already involved in them)because we'd ultimately be right in hell if we do not acknowledge the fact that we have caused hurt upon others etc and steadfastly choose to remain as we are, being selfish, indulgent people(and so on!) Whew! What a paragraph!

Moving on! I had insomnia on Sunday as I was terribly worried about the growing pain in my lower back(at the lumbar area) & stayed up to do some research on it! Can't remember when my back started hurting, but I remembered that during the widest leg stretch in sunday class(Nov 14 2010) there was some pain but I chose to ignore it. I thought that it would go away in a few days, so I went for Thurs class, and still, that particular spot...! Haiz.

Went to see the Dr. on a Monday(this week) and got my back xray-ed...the bones are fine but the tissue isn't =\ Some inflammation at that area, and the Dr. called it a tender spot O.o, and tole me about the R.I.C.E thingy(if i'm not wrong, since I was kind of sleepy that day), but in my case it was just the R and I(rest & ice), so doing my best with the cold compresses! Heat would make it worse since it's an inflammation. At least I've learnt a few things today! Kind of unlucky here, since grading is on 2nd Dec and I'd have to miss it =( He mentioned that 6-8 weeks' worth of rest O.O and he wanted to give me a medical certificate from school, but too bad, cos I can't afford any of that.

The pain's quite easy to forget since that spot will only hurt if I bend my back =( forwards or backwards. Twisting does cause some pain, so have to minimise that as well. How strange to think that I'd be down with this kind of pain...or maybe not? I'm not much of an active person to begin with in the past! Guess I'd just deal with this for the moment!



Aww you're so cute!!




Each morning I awake,
my best friend beside me,
his eyes are wide with love,
and my heart soars again.

As I go through my day,
expectations on me,
my friend is always near,
to soothe my troubled mind.

When nighttime descends on us,
and the world is through with me,
at last I can meditate,
and give loving thanks for him.

My friend is very special,
a truly amazing soul,
he's very soft and gentle,
for he's my cat, after all!
