I always wondered about the meaning of the proverb, never actually found the time to even try finding out. Well, not until now! Last week I decided to get rid of my boredom and get some cooking (actual cooking!) done. While opening a can of peas, I ended up slicing open the lower skin of my left thumb. Never in my life had I seen so much blood and that sight of torn skin, oh! it was almost too much to handle. Luckily, without loosing consciousness I was able to wrap a bandage and stem the blood flow and without any hesitation, called over Akhilesh and Farhan to take over the situation. I would really like to thank them again for their help in getting me out of the shit I got myself into!
Anyway, thinking that that was the end of that episode, I went along the next day doing activities I may never have done even if I was in tip top shape! For some reason, Iwent lawn bowling with friends and later an exasperating session of Squash. The next morning I went just out of curiosity, to the casualty ward of the hospital nearby where I learnt that I had to get four stitches to the thumb!
It was then I realised that if I went on the very day of the accident or maybe the next morning, I would have not needed the stitches which were possibly because of the aggravation of the sports I played that day! So, I learnt the lesson, a Stitch in time saves nine, meaning: don't wait for things to worsen, be done with what is to be done asap! I got the stitches removed today so I though the first thing I should do is tell you guys my experience, so that, hopefully a stitch in time can save you nine!
