I've said it countless times in the past how I'm never a morning person. I hate getting up early in the morning for whatever reason... But mind you, hating to do something doesn't mean I couldn't. If I absolutely do have to get up early on certain days, I'm doing it with no questions asked, but on days where I have nothing important to do that morning, days like two nights ago, I make sure not to get up early.
Which is why when I tell you that I had woken up some time around 6am two days ago, you should know it was for something important, or in this case, excruciating.
You see, I've only experienced a pulled muscle two times in my life, and luckily for me, the first time I experienced it was back at home, very early in the morning and my mom was around to help me. She had woken me up that morning to give me instructions on the meal I was to prepare that morning.
When I woke up I had felt this excruciating pain on my thigh behind my leg and had screamed out. Luckily for me, my mom had quickly grabbed a handful of water and poured it on the spot that looked swollen and hard, and just like magic, the whole leg returned back to normal.
Well two days ago, at about 6am, I had felt my leg tighten and this pain came out of nowhere. To be honest, I had stretched out my legs when it happened and trust me when I say I regretted it.
But you see, due to the fact that I already had experience with it, I knew what next to do, the only problem was getting up to go get the water because I couldn't stand up due to the pain.
But I had to make a decision, it was either I endured the pain for a few more seconds and just man up and hop over to where the water was, or I laid down there by 6am, hoping that the pain would just go away... I want for the former.
I had forced myself to get up, and hopped on one leg, each hop sending an amount of unbearable pain all over my body as I got closer and closer to the water... By the time I got there, I had taken a handful of it and just poured it on my leg.
As expected, it took only a matter of seconds for the pain to die down and I immediately felt relieved.
That entire experience just reminded me of how dangerous it can be sometimes living alone, especially in situations like this.
