Introvert Talks - The Waiting Game

"Introvert Talks" is meant to be a new initiative or theme, where I myself as an introvert, just talk about reflections and thoughts about my life, or maybe share more personal stuff. :)

This is my weekly post under this "Introvert Talks" theme and let's see where it takes me and us.

Sometimes, waiting for the outcome feels worse than the actual outcome.

These days, I have been quite introspective and Hive and my "Introvert Talks" series have been an outlet for me to talk about my knee injury. I have lost count of the number of posts/updates, anyway, here's an update to my situation.

It has been more than 3 weeks and while the recovery has been slow and gradual, I thought I should seek further medical attention, hopefully to get it resolved, and also for a peace of mind. So I managed to see an orthopaedic today, and after a thorough examination and a series of questions, there seems to be a injury within, and instead of jumping the gun, I was advised to get a MRI scan done and then proceed from there based on the result. Unlike private hospitals, the waiting time for government hospitals can sometimes vary, but I was pleasantly surprised that they allocated a slot for me in about 2 weeks' time.

So now the waiting game begins. Needless to say, when I heard there was an injury within, it was just depressing. And for the next 2 weeks, I will just be wondering what is the extent of the injury, and whether it can be cured or healed, and what happens next. Of course, my friends have tried to keep in good spirits by saying maybe it's just something minor and I shouldn't worry about it.

And they are right too. It's also pointless for me to worry about something unknown, and by worrying, I also can't change the outcome. But we are all humans after all, a sensible amount of worry and stress is inevitable.

So that's why, I thought a form of outlet could be to journal this process on Hive and "talk to myself". So for the next 2 weeks, I shall try to lead my life as per usual, drink more matcha, and hope for the best!
