What happened to the few days of spring-like weather here in New York? It’s 43 degrees , wet, soggy, dark and dreary, and it’s windy.
When the domestic front is not that good, and the weather is nothing but — it feels a lot more depressing. I’ve been quiet for a few days, not for lack of things to talk (write) about, but because I have been consumed with a lot of what if’s that are running on my mind. The string of appointments with doctors between me and my husband is just too much to take. No, I’m not counting my vein doctor here. I’m referring to the more critical visits that had to be done recently.
I’m on pins and needles. There are medical tests that my husband has to undergo. I moved my first bi-annual visit (I’m being monitored for benign cysts) to my breast Oncologist to give way to more important tests. The appointment that I’ve set(third week of March) six months ago, will now be in April. I’m just lucky that there was a free slot available on the first week.
It’s not easy being healthy. No matter how much effort you put into it, test results don’t lie.
Yes, life is great with God’s unending blessings, and I’m forever grateful. I can’t say that my life is perfect, because who has that, anyway? I just feel so blessed and lucky to have gotten the chance to experience what I have been blessed with. I should therefore, just continue to count my blessings. I tend to whine and complain when things are not going smoothly, and that is not the best way to go. But I think that is human nature.
I need to be hopeful, I have to think positive. Life is good!

This month for the three of us is full-packed with doctor’s appointment as well. But they’re all about our continuing-care since we are with a new PCP. Since we moved in here, our appointments for this month (dental, eyes, and family doc) are our first under a new insurance. It’s been seven months ago but the hubby was too stubborn to have himself checked while me and the daughter were away. Now that I’m back, I did all the necessary things to be done. This morning was our first check-up with our doc and I love the PCP I’ve found for my family. I’ve told every health complaint I’ve got and I think I’m doing well as my doc dealt with it well enough. I can understand the stress and the feelings of the strings of appointment u’r about to undergo. Indeed, it’s not easy being healthy. We are just lucky that we have access to those cares and concerns that we’ve got. Good reason enough for us to be grateful.
Take care sis and God bless!

@ Recel
thanks for sharing your thoughts and the re-assuring words. I need it badly.
its’ tough kasi you go for routine tests and you expect the best but you come out with nothing but…
Hey Tuks! Ay naku…I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately…brought about by a couple of [sad] events…death of a high school teacer and a hs classmate’s accident the past couple of weeks. Grabe para akong inalog [tama ba yung term ko?].
Anyway, I’m trying to be positive as much as I can. We just never know kung anong mangyayari bukas.
Stay strong. You & F will be in my thoughts. Sana naman nothing serious…and your worries are all for nothing.
