My Tired Body

I worked my shift.
I could do the shift.
My doctor says I'm in remission.
It wasn't mental this time.
Rather, my body just broke down physically.
I twisted my thumb sideways...
I wanted to stay, but thought better of it.
Why risk a torn ligament?
I went home.
At least it wasn't mental...
Well, unless you count the shock of seeing your thumb bent backward.
Thank God for risperdone.
