The thing is when you get hurt or hurt yourself, you feel sorry for yourself and start to imagine the worst case scenario.
When I got hurt by that stupid, big, fat dog on Saturday, I then went on to think,
'What if it had dislocated my kneecap? What if it had knocked me into the river,? What if, I'd been unable to walk home? What if it had bowled Tilly over and she'd got hurt?'
I think it's human nature, or my nature anyway, to think of other things that might have happened. I didn't vocalise any of these thoughts but they did run through my mind as I hobbled home.
I'm ok now, by the way.
