The Post which is the Butt of All Jokes

I'm once again posting at an uncommon timing because I reported sick on Monday (yes on the day I'm supposed to go to camp) and got three days MC.

It's funny how when you don't intend to play MC, they come naturally =D.





But in all seriousness, the past few days were quite rough for me. The weather is crap, my lungs are weak, my cough's killing me, fever's up and down, and my head is pounding with headache.

The worst of all is my sore throat. Inflamed with ulcers. That's ouch with a capital O. It makes swallowing feel like being shocked by electricity. I'm not exaggerating. The pain shoots up to my ears.





My illness was still pretty bad last night so I went back to my trusty ol' doc for some help.

"Let's see. Oh the throat is terrible."

"Yeah. Can you do something about it?"

"Hm. D'you want an injection or new pills?"

"Injection? Pills don't seem to be going down too well."

"Alright"





So he goes off and starts concocting his magic with the syringes and small bottles. I remove my jacket.

"Which arm is it doctor?"

"Arm? No no, it's on the butt." (stop laughing you bastards)

Oh boy.




A few tense and rather painful minutes later, I said my thanks and wobbled out of the room.

The painful part of injections, as many would agree, is not during or before the jab, but the dull ache that last at the area after the withdrawal, in this instance my right butt.

As I stood off balanced at the counter waiting for the payment, the first receptionist looks over and gives a cursory glance. She asked what was wrong

"Injection. On the butt." offers my sister helpfully.

She gave a small but audible giggle. To my horror she looks at the second receptionist (also a girl) and goes, "He just got an injection in the butt!"

That earned me a loud guffaw, adding insult to injury.




Well at least the injection is working out a lot (my butt still hurts though) and I'll be back to Tekong tomorrow to clean up week 6.
