::Chest X-Ray

Wednesday, July 19, 2006

Pacette called up in the morning to tell me to get ready. I hurriedly logged online to inform Randy that I will do my X-Ray and have my blood sugar be tested.

When Pacette arrived, Pearl and I hurriedly went downstairs. We went to Quezon City General Hospital OPD. Papa assisted us and instructed Pacette to get me Out-Patient Information Sheet and Patient's Card.

When my name was called, I explained what has happened with me. The nurse took my BP (110/80) and pulse rate (80). Then, Papa showed me where I could have my blood sugar test. Normal blood sugar count is 100 but, mine was 111. They advised me to watch the food I will be eating since my father is diabetic.

I was then called by a young doctor, who gave me Serc (16 mg. tablet) prescription, to be taken 3 times a day for 5 days, for drowsiness. He also gave me X-Ray, CBC, and Ophtha requests. Papa then accompanied me to the X-Ray room and I had my Chest X-Ray taken, result will be released on Friday while Optha clinic was closed. I should be early tomorrow to be accomodated since they only accept 10 patients a day. Besides, fasting is necessary after 12 midnight tonight for my CBC test tomorrow morning.

As we arrived home, I was grasping my breathe. I had severe headache and been dizzy since I left the house. Randy was waiting for me online. I left all programs running so I can chat with him as soon as I arrived home. I told him how I was accomodated by the hospital staffs warmly unlike the ones from Capitol Medical Center.

He excitedly told me that since I left, until I came back, Blogshares site had been under maintenance and backed up the same time I arrived. I jokingly told him I didn't have a hand on it... At times like this, Randy and I realized that life will have no meaning if one of us won't be there around... we have waited all these years to find each other.

And, am hopeful, the result of chest x-ray on Friday will be negative for fluids in my lungs. Whether I lacked oxygen or not, the series of test will determine what's my possible illness... and, guess what? I snoore couple of times last night!
