Shall we dance?


Title: My well pedicured leg and the new shoe to go with it

If I were in 2nd standard and I was asked to write an essay about something I bought. I'd definitely write about my kewl new shoe :) ; the best part about it being that it can be worn on any leg and still fits. It also eases a lot of pain and swelling.
Ok ok..my winning stint this week at baddy wasn't all that great. I twisted my foot into some odd position and collapsed while playing and here's the end result. I have a bad foot sprain : It is mostly a ligament tear but boy, I spent almost half a day at the hospital getting x-rayed and trying to fight off a fever because of the pain. I'd thereupon decided to pamper myself. Since the doctor declared that it was best to be invalid for the next 3 days, here's a list of things I came up with:
a) Order a large veggie supreme and binge on it. Period. Don't mind the calories you need to heal.
b) Pull out your favourite list of Susan Mallery desert rogues mini series novels and reread about the beauty of the desert and the romance it holds over and over. Cry a little when it tugs your heart strings. Remember you are not being psenti, you are just in pain :). Now that's a great excuse for an eternal romantic isn't it?
c) If the weather is perfect. Woe be upon you, don't step out for a long walk, just open the door to the balcony and watch the sun set... from your sofa of course.
d) Catch up on that movie that you've always wanted to see. Don't again step out unnecessarily, you've gotta treat yourself like a princess remember. Ask a friend to go to the nearest blockbuster and tag along with it on their goodwill visit.
e) Crave that tomato soup that ma made on a beautiful autumn day :(.
f) Before you turn in, remember to thank god that it was not a fracture, but just a ligament tear. I don't think I can survive another day of just lying around and staring at my walls and the monitors.
g) Follow the eat, sleep, watch TV repeat pattern with your leg above your heart level for atleast another 24 hours and cold compress for about 20-25 minutes every 6 hours.


Just when I was following this routine and sort of sulking I heard the deep strains of this song that made my body and heart sway, I couldn't sway right now, but hey...I'd learn to croon well enough, so I sang along.....

Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we Dance? ...tada (thinking happy thoughts. Tomorrow is another day.)

Mood: Cranky, Sulking and still happy Sappy
Song: Shall we dance (Movie: The King and I, Artistes: Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr)
