“Just a little bit of bad luck”
…sure, let’s start by calling it that and set the tone… 🤔
As I write this, I just had my check-up at the hospital. Two x-rays were taken and then we had a chat with the first surgeon (a different one attended me after the dislocation and she did the second surgery). He started the convo with asking how things were going now, as I started off with a little bit of bad luck…
Well, that triggered me before I had even had a chance to respond… 😣

The horror writer always brings bad news: you’re going to die, he says; he’s telling you to never mind Oral Roberts and his “something good is going to happen to you,” because something bad is also going to happen to you, and it may be cancer and it may be a stroke, and it may be a car accident, but it’s going to happen. And he takes your hand and he enfolds it in his own, and he takes you into the room and he puts your hands on the shape under the sheet … and tells you to touch it here … here … and here …
Stephen King (b. 1947) American author
