Thud.

That day halfway through soaping my hair in the bathroom, my showerhead dropped off.

With a sickening thud, it hit the floor, as I looked at it in confusion.

I didn't quite fancy going out in the buff to play the part of a damsel in distress, so I held up the pipe connecting to the showerhead, and continued my bath. Felt a bit like a dog taking its bath wtf.



And that's not the only thing that is falling apart in my life! My health is also deteriorating. -_-
My sitting bone (at the risk of sounding crass, it's the bone at the tip of your butt crack) has been hurting for a few weeks already. The pain was unbearable at times, for example when I sneeze. The 5-hour long bus journeys back home was also hell due to the pain. I was quite worried it has something to do with the spine, especially after I heard horror stories of my colleague who woke up one day and suddenly found that she couldn't move her body-- it was some sort of nerve infection. And when I exclaimed shock at the trauma that she must have gone through, my senior just waved it away with a "Bah, it's very normal with auditors'.

Gulp.

Anyway, during my 1 week break back home, I managed to schedule an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. The entire consultation took 10 minutes max, and involved no surgical appliances, X-ray devices or any form of removal of my apparel (I didn't quite fancy showing the doctor my bum). Instead, he asked me a few questions, and deduced that it's due to my long hours at work (the pain only started after my crazy kamikaze work-till-5am week). He also gave me a brochure featuring the correct positions to sit, stand and to lift heavy objects. Heh.


The moral of the story? Sit right, stand right, and take care of your spine!
