Ridiculous Bad Luck

話說這星期四艾娃正在幫阿福少爺換尿布時,咱阿福少爺一個重心不穩就跌坐在我的食指上,還好是左手,還好沒骨折,只是韌帶受傷也就是俗稱筋拐到,要包著那一面海綿一面鐵面的東西一星期不能拆.這也打亂了我要認真煮飯的計畫,只好中斷一周囉~

The other day, after I helped Christopher to change his diaper, he fell really hard onto my left hand and hurt my index finger. Luckily, nothing was broken, but there was some ligament damage, which means I have to have it wrapped up with a support for the week. I’ve had to postpone my cooking efforts for the moment, until it gets better.

後來星期六晚上突然開始一會會痛一會拉肚子,拿出我的親密藥品-胃藥(他隨時在我的電腦旁,每當我工作緊張,壓力大獲三餐不正常時隨手可取)

Since Friday night I have had a very upset stomach. I tried all the medicine we have in the house, but none of them helped. The strange thing is that I’ve been eating normally, three meals a day.

沒想到,今天吃了兩顆居然沒用.星期天一早到圖書館說故事後又趕緊去鄰近診所報到.

I had no idea that these wouldn’t work and on Sunday morning, after telling a story at the library, I had to rush to the nearest clinic.

又沒想到,兩包藥下肚後居然沒用,肚子還是痛.於是決定到麻豆新樓掛急診.

But even after two bags of medicine from the clinic, I still felt terrible and made a trip to the emergency room at Xinlou hospital.

更加沒想到,醫生說一定要吊點滴,我也只好就範,就在這個時候,護士小姐她…她把針扎進我的左手手盤後,遲疑了一下,針頭在我皮膚裡鑽了一下~沒打到. 只好換右手再來一次, 可怕的是她….她又沒打到,而且很不服輸的再鑽一次,這時我忍不住大叫:媽阿~好痛喔,到底是怎麼一回事阿,護士小姐:喔,因為你的血管太細了,我去換一根細一點的真再來一次.聽到這我開始哇哇大哭(Sorry, something wrong with the Chinese input on my computer, can’t finish this article in Chinese)

Once I got to the hospital, the doctor told me that I need to be put on a drip. So the nurse took my left hand to insert the needle. She stuck the needle in, twisted it around, jabbed a few more times, then pulled out the needle. Then she took my right hand and did the same again, needle in, twist around, jab a bit, twist around. At this point I started to cry because it was just so sore, so she took it out. The nurse then told me that my veins are too small, so she’ll go get a new needle and try again.

Then I started to cry. The nurses and doctors came and tried to convince me to let them try to do it again. One of the doctors tried to tell me, “You know, this just happens sometimes,” to which I replied, “Well, then you come try it.” That was enough and I was too shocked so I just paid and left, without getting any treatment whatsoever.
