Groin Strain

It's all about care and I cannot care for myself. Can you? If you're like me you're totally out of control. My apartment is messy, my brain is messy -- I imagine my neurons are something like the computer cables that are slung behind the desk, twisted like lianas -- and my body is in pain. Now, it's a groin strain.

I say strain, but really I have no idea of the difference between a pull and a strain. I said that to a friend and he said, "that's because you haven't been injured enough!" Interesting logic, isn't it? I am happy I have not been more injured in my life, but recently everything bothers me. I have had this groin strain, back trouble, and excessive dry skin. Next I'll be suffering from chronic hangnails or something.

The problem is not the groin strain, it's the inability to cope with pain. The mind starts spinning. I hold the hurt area and remember what I read online that if the pain reduces when pushed it's a hernia. A hernia? Oh my god. They do surgery for that, don't they? I can't do surgery.
