Why the Sudden MIA?

Its been almost two weeks since I have last updated this blog. Why the sudden MIA as in Missing in Action.

Last week was not a very good week for me. I felt ill, weak and helpless due to my health condition. I felt pain in my tummy for three days and it had caused me sleepless nights. Like the majority, going to the hospital for check up is my last option, I will only be pushed to visit the place if the pain is really unbearable. In order to ease the gas pain in my tummy, I drank Sprite - a colorless lemon-limed flavored, caffeine-free softdrink in the morning and afternoon on a Friday, two weeks ago. I even bought Aceite de Manzanilla and Buscopan in order to feel better. I wanted to get well not because I can't stand the pain but because the soon to be ex-bf and I will be watching the last episode of Breaking Dawn later that night.

My tummy felt better after drinking another Sprite in the afternoon but I started to burp endlessly. I also shivered because of coldness embarking inside my body. In order to lessen the chill I felt, I drank a cup of coffee and sipped a bowl of noodles. I still felt the coldness and the burping does not seem to stop and I started to vomit. I threw up all the food I ingested but to my surprised the vomit contained blood.

I immediately asked the permission of my immediate superior to allow me to time out in the office earlier than the official business closing hour. Anyway, it was just fifteen minutes before the end of our office hour. I felt scared as I did not understand what was happening to my body, I have no choice but to proceed to the nearby hospital. I sent a text message to the soon to be ex-bf and told him to follow me at TMC Emergency Department.

We have waited several hours of laboratory tests  and procedures for the results. Another ailment came up: acute PYELONEPHRITIS is the name. It is an ascending urinary tract infection that has reached the pelvis of the kidney. Cotrimoxazole allergy, PCOS and now pyelonephritis.

I am very thankful to my soon to be ex-bf because he took care of me and make me felt loved. I owe it not only for myself but to the soon to be ex-bf to take good care of myself. It made me realized that one year from today, I will not only take care of myself alone. I have to take care of my husband and the family we are going to create.
