Mattie,

6 doctors in a week!

I've seen six doctors in a week.

1. Family Med Doctor from Intellicare advised me it was vertigo and prescribed betahistine. She told me to check with an EENT. (January 30, 2009)

2. EENT Doctor at Makati Med told me that my ear drums were fine. It's just diet, lifestyle, and stress. (February 2, 2009)

3. ER Doctor at Makat Med just gave me meds and asked me to continue with betahistine. He advised me to see a neurologist because I had head trauma when I was a kid, it was my second attack and my ears were fine, and i was under medication but it still had the symptoms. (February 4, 2009 close to midnight)

4. EENT Doctor from UST asked me to do several tests. He changed my medicine to stugeron and prescribed vitamins. I will go back to him once the test results are in. (February 6, 2009)

(Tests were scheduled for February 16, 2009.)

5. Optha Doctor from UST advised me my eye pressure was ok. I had 20/70 without glasses but 20/20 with glasses. Nothing wrong with my eyes. (February 6, 2009)

6. Neurologist Doctor from St. Lukes told me that the medicine the second EENT doctor gave me was good and the tests too. He asked me to do the test and come back to him if the EENT doctor has tested me negative for peripheral vertigo. (February 6, 2009)

(He requested the tests too and I checked with St. Lukes if theirs were faster. I was scheduled for tests this coming February 10, 2009, Tuesday.)

*sighs* I was so tired last Friday...

when the world is spinning round and round

Last Thursday January 29, 2009, at around 4pm I was awaken by severe pain. My left ear was inflamed again. I mustered the strength to get up and buy myself medicine at the nearest drugstore. The pain subsided.

Around 8:30pm, Joan and I were talking about how she will go about her resignation and when I stood up to start cooking, I was attacked by severe headache and dizziness. I also felt like vomiting.

I went to the doctor the following day and her diagnosis was Vertigo. Since my left ear was inflamed, I was advised to see an EENT doctor come Saturday.

Saturday, they referred me to a certain Doctor, however, he cancelled going to his clinic and was asked to go back Monday. I went back Monday February 2 and was advised my ear drums are intact and that the only problem is my ears are too clean. He advised me that it might be diet, stress, or lifestyle that might have caused my vertigo. He told me that vertigo might have stemmed from problems with the ear, eyes, brain or general blood circulation.

I continued the medication of the previous doctor I saw.

However last night, February 4, at around 9:30pm I had the same symptoms again. This time my ears were not inflamed. I asked my brother to take me to the hospital. They arrived at 11:30pm and I went to Makati Med's ER. I was advised to rest and go to a neurologist.

I hate getting sick. It's expensive and it's not fun. =(

new

I just started training for a new company. I didn’t expect much because of the blunder I just got from my previous company. Hopefully everything will go smoothly for my clearance later. However, my class is the most fun training I’ve had so far. The people are crazy and wacky. We went out drinking last Friday and they’re a tad crazier outside but also shared their sentimental side. I wish to have good working relationship with this people.

There is also a matter with my new home. During weekdays I live in my dorm. I have to share the room with six other ladies but it’s ok. I’m getting the hang of it. I’m so used to having my own room and bathroom but at least I don’t have my people bossing me around. There was just this one time though a case of luggage being delivered for someone at the dorm but no need to dwell on that. If she will really think of it, if not for me she won’t have her luggage that day I did her good and she should be thankful.

Anyways, there’s just one thing lacking… or someone lacking rather… someone I can start making memories with…

expectations

You told me not to expect. I told you I’m going to wait. They are contracdictory. You told me you’re not even expecting then maybe you shouldn’t. I’ll start not expecting too. You told me to stop my obsessions of him not because you are around. I will. I let you be and let you be free and forget about that Friday night…

everything fell into place

It may feel like it's very alien or abrupt how this all started but there were indications right? Anyways, we are taking baby steps. I'm realizing the signs only now. It feels like we fit right into each other. It feels like everything fell into place.

I don't mind that it happened only now nor the fact it took two years before we finally had the courage to venture or even consider it. You were so into her and I got scared as I was someone new in your life. I had two rocks I was knocking my head with, one after the other. You were a witness to all that. We're both stupid. Nevertheless, here we are. Maybe, those people had to pass by so we could appreciate each other more.

I'm not scared that it won't work. I know it would. What scares me is to fathom what won't make it work. However, this is not time to be scared nor to think of things that has not happened yet and are even uncertain. This is time to look forward for the days that I know you're ever closer to me (for I can't say I only have you now for you have always been there).

I think I already loved you even before I knew I did.

Thanks for making me happy...
