How could I ever still do this thing of blogging despite my health condition? Simply the reason and ANSWER TO THAT IS when your mental health is still strong and never been affected by other health woes, worries and uncertainty then you can still function normally using your brain to think, analyze, solve problems, and if you can still use your hands to operate computer then blogging is not really complicated. However there is that limit to what you can blog. The limit to what you can see, hear. listen to, describe or explain could be limited in the sense that you are stuck in a place of confinement such as in the hospital. It would only be the situation within your surrounding around that facility and all the rest of the interactions within you from doctors to nurses and everyone within your surrounding would be the access to anything that you can write.
Here's the good news...my dear loving husband brought my laptop and instead of staring at the ceiling then I can use it. I can get into Facebook and chat with my friends, sister, aunts, brothers,etc. I wish could be with my family back to our home. This bring me so much joy not to feel so unhappy about my condition. At least, makes me stronger. Also the good thing is I don't feel any pain. The doctors, nurses keep on asking me if I feel any pain. So far I don't feel any pain at all. Thank God! It's just felt uncomfortable being poke with needles for the blood work so many hundred times and for IV and dialysis. Wow! It feels like pin cushion here!Opsi! Not from me, the pin cushion word > it was told by one of the health care workers when she saw the black and blue bruises on my hand. (Don't worry my skin heals itself back to normal) Oh, I'm not complaining just that my hand got black and blue and had marks of all the needles used to draw blood since Sept 29, 2023. Well, getting used to it now. No pain no gain. lol. OMG! Why don't you use TIDE, SUNLIGHT & ARM & HAMMER?
Just maybe they thought I don't feel the pain and no pain at all so they keep poking my hands to draw blood. lol. Not that funny. I know there are doing their great job. The health care workers are doing such amazing responsibility of providing the great care they are supposed to do. I know medical procedures and protocol as when my mother worked in the military hospital as nursing attendant and my father who worked as medic for Red Cross and chief clerk in the Admission Office for the OIC in the same Army General Hospital. I also volunteered in that same hospital at a very young age at the Orthopedic ward doing minor duties helping high ranking military nurses and doctors. I was a medic in the CAT program during my HS Years. I worked in pharmaceutical company as a medical representative conducting free medical clinic at DRTS Department of Health in Philippines.Well, that was long time ago.
I know for sure medical terminology and medicines but my own health condition is something new and overwhelming.
For now, have to relax and keep my mind busy on some other things to keep me busy and not think negatively. I met my new kidney specialist with her therapy dog Atlas. To be thankful for all the blessings that come my way. The kindness and compassion of all the health care workers (hundreds of them, wishing I could post all their names here but I'm not sure whether they would like being read through blogs (I would inquire on that later) are providing is an assurance that I will soon return to my normal life. I wished. I hope🙏🙌💓Thanks everybody you are all God servants in providing so much care, attention, and being natural in your chosen field of work. The work of health care workers are the most remarkable honorable way of serving people in need of health support. They are like soldiers in a different field. They are the new heroes and hope they also receive medals for their gallant bravery, valor and kindness, compassion towards their patients. That was it ...not always for the money. They are of service to help cure the sick, treat the wounded, restore the patient's self-esteem, bring back them to recovery and make sure that they receive the best health care ever under their watch.
