Tonight I dislocated my shoulder . On the way out from Alican I slipped on the b nicely cleaned marble stairs. Falling, I felt my shoulder move out of it's lock, as if my arm was extending to lengths it shouldnt. And on the floor all I was saying was 'shit,fuck' and all. Aykut, leaving ahead of me was at the exterior, hearing my fall, he as shouting, asking if I was O.K.
Most goddamn painful moments of my life, so much pain, I almost fainted walking outside, the arm dangling, I needed to hold it but noone wanted to touch it not to make it worse. People put me in a cab and Aykut took me to the hospital.
Aykut, the dude I know since years, drove me and made small talk in perfect precision helping me think away from the pain as we waited for an emergency doctor. I was in super pain having hard time being nice, almost blacking out while x-raying my arm. So much pain.
And the doctor shows up, like a hero, middle of the night, right out home and super calm. He says he is going to put it back, and If I resist he has to knock me out and do it like that. I ask if it's going to hurt, and he says 'yeah a lot'. All I have been thiniking of is lethal weapon. Mel Gibson hitting a wall to put his shoulder back on, squirming in pain.
A helper comes to restrain me and he lifts my arm making small talk. I'm thinking he is just going to push and I am going to scream in pain. I look into the nurses eyes and she holds my hand. And just like that, with 2 small movements he makes a move and this enormous pain, as if like a volume to high turned down, goes away in a moment. I cant believe it. It just disappears. No pain, no crunch noise or anything nasty.
And I become myself again. All the bad thoughts gone. Thinking as If I have done something wrong in my timeline and It returned to me with this pain.
I was super lucky, I had good people around me. I knew Aykut so little and he helped me so much, it just makes me appreciate my friend and people I know. Through my life I have been surrounded with great people, some I know so greatly, some I know so little.
A person died I knew so little about, and a person I know little stood with me through a dire situation.
I thank the life I live, and everything else but my life.
