Personal injury is a funny thing not funny ha-ha, but it has obscure meaning if you think about it.
Personal
You get the picture. And what about injury
Injury
I have had a bit of trouble today thinking about this notion of "personal injury" and when I casually said to a friend, "What can I write about?" she replied without hesitation, "Write about my personal injury!" and I went "AWWW!"
My dear friend is suffering the most painful torment imaginable; her beloved boyfriend has gone away. And she is feeling very personally injured indeed.
They've been together about three years, but an opportunity arose in her man's life that could not be passed up and they have decided to continue a long distance relationship, over the few hundred miles that separate them.
We talked to another colleague about this. He is undergoing an even longer distance separation; his significant other is in another continent and they only get to see each other every few months.
She plaintively asked him, "Does it get any easier?"
He replied, "No!"
I recalled a time when, at 17 and after four months of going out, my naval rating boyfriend went on a six month tour of duty. I was in the first flush of love and his going away hit me very hard. We went out for about 18 months in total, but eventually the continual separations took their toll. I remember pulling the collage of photos of us off my wall and crying as if my life had ended. As it happened, my life had just begun.
But, I don't think I should mention that to my friend right now. She wants to hear that everything will be alright and that they will stay together through thick and thin. I surely hope they will. No, I know they will.
My male colleague is looking forward to the day when his other half returns home and they can start their lives together again. He says their dog misses her very much and when she returns for a visit the pet takes a few moments just to fully recognise his mistress. He sits there with a puzzled expression and then wham - it's full recognition and the dog goes crazy.
As I look at my friend, staring at the pictures of her darling on her phone and sighing heavily into her coffee, I get the feeling that, if she could, she would instigate a personal injury compensation claim against those who dangled the stellar-career-move carrot in front of her boyfriend and made it very difficult for him to stay.
Of-course any personal injury lawyer worth his salt would jump at the chance of this sort of litigation. You only have to look at her face to tell the levels of pain she's enduring. 100% compensation for an aching heart now how much is that worth?
