the little bit that hurts
There is always a teeny weeny bit of me that hurts. Ever so slightly. It serves to remind me how fine I am actually feeling and what it could be like if I wasn't. Otherwise I might forget that I don't have 'flu, toothache, unmentionable lady ailments, etc.
Last week it was a swollen taste bud. Right on the tip of my tongue. It spent a few days with me and then it was replaced by a slightly bruised nail bed.
Just now I had a little reminder what it would be like if nobody had invented optical assistance or if I had no access to it (as many people don't). I am indeed fortunate that just by placing a couple of bits of plastic in my eyes, or suspended quite close to them, I can see my computer and the TV and read a book and know who is at the door.
One thing I should always remember though is... to make sure I know where my glasses are before taking my lenses out and putting them in liquid that they must not be removed from for 6 hours or they will make my eyes sting intolerably.
My friend Yeh (sim, es tu meu amigo) pointed out that if I always did this in the same place and put my glasses/lenses in the same place I wouldn't have this problem.
Occasionally though things do go wrong. Today for instance I had knocked my glasses on to the floor which was enough to make them invisible for half an hour. Eventually I solved the problem by shining my quartz halogen strap-it-round-the-head (like a miner) lamp all around until they made the shiny bits twinkle. Hurray! Just a little reminder of how it would be if I didn't have any.
