This week is the opening of classes for public schools ad the weather is really crazy.

There’s intermittent hard rain and strong wind and today was no exception.

After six sessions  of physical rehab, I  was bound for a follow up check up with my doctor. To make sure that I will not be wasting my time, I phoned  her clinic before 1 p.m. and  was able too confirm that she will be holding her clinic today  in the midst of  the rowdy weather.

I was fifth on the list.

Since I know that she will not show up on time, I decided to  swing by the Lung Center to claim myy Bsic Skills Training (BST) shirts.

My BST training at LCP will start on June 15 an I am really anxious.

I arrived at St. Luke’s around 2:30 p.m.  and I went straight to rehab  department to  get my  progress report.  I reached the doctor’s clinic before 3 p.m. and the doctor was still checking on patient number three!

So I had my turn after 20  minutes and the doctor asked why I was wearing a mask. So I told her that I am on immunosuppressant and I am seeing a nephrologist.

She asked me why I did not tell her about it during my first check up. I told her that I was so tired waiting for  her and she seemed to be in a hurry then that it slipped my  mind.

She was concerned about me taking the pain killer (Myonal) as it is nephrotoxic (would harm my  kidneys). I told her I did not take it.

After some physical exam, she told me that the spasm is so minimal but I have to continue with my rehab  and she ordered for another six sessions.

As I have mentioned, the weather was crazy and as I went out of the doctor’s clinic, the sky was dark so I decided to go home straight.

Darn, I forgot to swing by the rehab dept to  request for a rehab sked on Saturday!

I phoned St.  Luke’s and I was told that I need to go there personally for the sked unless I want to have the six sessions with  my former PT.

I want another therapist. So I will just drop by 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.
