Dear Diary: I Am Ready for the Doctor Today

This is my position while doing STEEMITing, there's my tablet perched on a LED monitor on my bed and I'm like this all day

I borrowed my brother's cellphone camera hoping to get a camera phone that he gave me the last time and he gave me his probably not used yet Samsung GT-S5301 pocket phone so I can use with today's Laboratory exam and Consultation to the doctor and this grainy picture is what I've got as the resulting quality and it made me sigh for that matter. But anyway at least I will get some photos with this gadget.

My brother, not the previous one that took the photos also gave me through my mother an extra SD card apparently for this cellphone but I texted him and asked for what is it for and he said that it was for the phone. I asked him if the phone has no SD card in it, he told me that he don't know, that I have to open it to know and then I have to put the SD card myself as if I know and I have the ability to open this phone keeping in mind not to scratch or break something while doing so, tsk it made me sigh again.

Luckily my mother don't have to look after my nephew today to his school because it is holiday today and she can freely assist me along with my father to yet another medical escapade for me so I just took some Ibuprofen and diclofenac for pain, both are really good for pain but not for the digestive tracts.

I had seen people died from taking them and it caused their kidneys to fail, the other one kidneys and stomach. But these medications are safe, provided that they are taken with foods and not taken continuously for two weeks. But even for such shorter time these can hurt people's health and people must know what they are taking to their system.

I have no choice but to take these pain relievers but I am not taking them everyday anyways so it is still okay. I just need them just to allow me to move. Even with ever so careful movements I am still getting hurt and what more if I will get an accidental slip?, then it will be a catastrophe.

My goal is to get a parathyroidectomy, it is a procedure next to medications controlling it not working. But I will not going for the medications as it is expensive and will forgo with it if the doctor will agree, if not, then it will be a problem. But since I actually had the product in my face as the problem, then maybe thee doctor will have to come up with a solution for my condition.

This second Endocrinologist may have to talk to my Nephrologist first or might give me the baddest news that I don't want to hear, that I can't get a surgery because of the comorbidity issues in my health. I am ready but fearful and worried. God help me.

stay strong brother

I will Brother.
Thank you and God bless you.

I'm wondering about your day. I keep checking back.
Whether it was a triumph of tragedy, please know that you have more options.
If it is any kind of consolation, my admission paperwork was not completed properly by my doctor, and was rejected.
He has to resubmit it tomorrow, then we wait for processing ( the clerical staff said her pile of admissions is high so she won't happen for a few days). No triage, just reception staff processing data.)
I hope you are okay. Will keep checking back.

It felt a bit like I was talking to this little britain character

I just posted my updates @girlbeforemirror
Quite a day today.

Just remembered @cryptopie, they also have benadryl gel. It helps my neck some and i dont think its as hard on the stomach.

I'll manage @weirdheadaches
Diclofenac somewhat have an extended analgesic effect but still I get some breakthrough pain which still painful.

It sounds like today is going to be a really big day; I truly hope you'll hear some long-awaited good news that you're eligible for surgery and will be able to afford it. My thoughts are with you today, I'll check back soon for an update.

I have no idea what will the doctor will say but I have to get my hopes up @runway-psyche and prepare for what is to come and my plans after.

Good luck brother.

Thanks for the support @oceanrift
God bless you brother.

Stay strong @crytopie
