In the past few days, I have noticed that my morning sniffles have returned. I have been sneezing like before, sneezing like there is no tomorrow.

I’d like to think that I am back to the good ‘ol days but that would be a  pulsating  lie.

I have developed joint pains, my feet continues to swell if I stopped popping  in diuretics, I still have hematuria and my back pain begins to eat me.

Maybe morning sniffles has just been added to my list of  unending physical condition.

Here’s to life. Cheers to life!

As approved by the ER doctor, I went to my third session of physical rehab this morning at St. Luke’s (I think I need to rent a space there because I am a frequent visitor already)

The session is scheduled at 7:00 a.m. and Brye, my therapist has arrived on time. I just noticed that there is someone also waiting for him. So I asked him if he’ll be having 2 patients at a time. He said yes. Then I told him what happened to me this morning and I informed him that I needed his undivided attention. He said that the therapy of the other patient will just be quick and will not take much of his time.

Thing is, it is unfair to anyone who is paying premium and not getting a premium service.  His response did not make me feel any better.

Anyhow, he informed me that we will go on with the therapy but he will not  put pressure on my back when he gives the ultrasound and the massage but he focused on the part of my back where I felt the tingling sensation.  The gadget that gives a small amount of current was also taped on the affected part of my  body. Funny thing is, the sensation the gadget sends to my body is the same as the one I am feeling in my back.

As the therapist was giving me a massage, he told me that the muscle on my shoulders are swelling because of the nodes that I have. I thought they were just muscles.  It turned out that they were swollen muscles that give me back pain. Brye  told me that my bad posture aggravates it and he instructed me to straighten not just my back but also my head and my neck.

As he said, it is painful at first but it will really help me come off the back pain.

So what is the  best way to keep my body straight? Lie flat in bed and snooze away!

Right now, the tingling sensation is hardly noticeable and I am looking forward to my fourth therapy tomorrow.

Just when I thought I could pull through the entire graveyard shift this week, I was wrong.

While everyone on the floor was busy feasting on the Katrina Halili-Hayden Kho sex video, I was busy composing my  email to my supervisor. Suddenly, I felt dizzy and the things around me started to swirl.

Before that, I felt the there’s a tingling sensation just below my nape and there’s a numbness that radiates through the back of my head. This is a normal thing and I am getting the physical rehab for it but the sensation and the numbness was a little intense but generally ignorable.

Then I heard my friend calling upon me asking me if I were okay. I remembered I responded a couple of times telling her that I was okay then it went black.

I think I dozed off for a while and when I opened my eyes, the guards were already there with wheel chair.  I was brought to St. Luke’s Medical Center by my good old friend Kaye.

I told them there;s no need for such because I ahve come back to my senses again but they were worried they insisted. They said I was shaking and my eyes were rolling.

In the ER, they have ran ECG and FBS and they were all normal. I was asked to stay for half an hour then I was discharged.

The doctor told me that the syncope (dizziness) might have been triggered by the back pain and it’s okay to continue the rehab and to take pain killer.

The rehab, I continued this morning but the pain killer I skipped. I have so many medications already and I am so concerned about my liver and kidney functions.

I called the clinic this afternoon to request for rehab request forms for my three remaining sessions and the company nurse and the doctor advised me to take a sick leave and rest.

So I am here. Tyring to rest.
