Those two places will teach you the true meaning of the vanity of life. In the hospital, you will see people who are willing to trade every possession they have just to regain their health. I have heard patients plead with doctors, “Whatever it costs, I will pay, just help me get better.” And then there are the lifeless bodies in the morgue, people who no longer know what is happening in the world they left behind. The morgue is a place of deep reflection. It can completely reshape your understanding of life.
Oh Lord, in the pursuit of a living, may I never stop living.
Something unpleasant happened to me on Monday. While working at the site, I fell from a height. As I struggled to hold onto the scaffold, my mouth hit a metal bar. I got a sharp cut on my lower lip, not too deep, but blood rushed out immediately.
I managed to climb down and sat for a few seconds, pressing my lip to stop the bleeding, but it did not help. Thankfully, there was a first aid box on site. I applied some medication and the bleeding stopped. Afterwards, I went to the pharmacy to get drugs and vitamins.
I am grateful to God. It could have been far worse. What if I had fallen head first to the ground. So many thoughts ran through my mind. No one on the blog would have even known what happened. People would have created their own narratives about my absence. Maybe some would say I finally bowed out because of the trolls here.
I sent photos to my siblings and they all screamed. I begged them not to show my mother until it heals. She would cry first, then call me every minute of the day.
Sadly, I was not compensated for the injury, even though I did not ask. This is one of the risks of the job I do. You can never predict anything. We try to be safety conscious, but ultimately, only God protects us.
By the year twenty twenty seven, I hope to transition into something entirely different. Not because of this incident, but because of age and the stress that comes with this kind of work.
I am already pursuing an interest in cyber security. Once I am able to raise the funds or get lucky with one of the scholarship schemes I applied for, I will make the switch.
Please join me in thanking God. He has shown me mercy and compassion. To Him alone be all the glory.
