Life Through My Eyes
Over the course of the last few months, my fear of needles and getting my blood drawn has lessened significantly (because let’s face it… after the amount of times I’ve had it drawn, I really should be over it by now). Sometimes, I don’t even feel it pinch when they draw the blood — woohoo! …
Some people prefer doctors’ of their own gender for a variety of reasons, but one common reason is that ‘they can relate to the problem’. To which, I’ve heard the argument (and read online) that if you want to use the argument that you want a doctor that has been through what you have, then …
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, “Why did this happen to me?” unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. How true is that?! Recovering from a viral I caught last month has taken much longer than anticipated for some reason and is still making …
4 blood tests, 4 urine tests, 3 ER trips, 3 IVs, 2 doctor visits, 2 flu tests, 1 X-ray, and 1 cat scan. In the span of 7 days. What a week! Have I set the record for the times I’ve had to visit the ER in the span of seven days? I could throw …
UPDATE: 1/12/11 4:45 PM My cousin informed me a little while ago that her friend passed away. Please continue to keep her family in your prayers and help financially via means of donations if you are able to. You can read the original post below: — I hope this reaches all of you in good …
This is part two of the post from here on the following questions: You know what I’ll never understand? Why patients with heart related symptoms are made to wait an hour (plus) in the waiting room in the emergency room. Why patients on a “cardiac diet” are fed cheese sandwiches, lasagna, and other such things …
You know what I’ll never understand? Why patients with heart related symptoms are made to wait an hour (plus) in the waiting room in the emergency room. Why patients on a “cardiac diet” are fed cheese sandwiches, lasagna, and other such things in hospitals. Why a cardiologists’ office serves pizza (ESPECIALLY after a stress test). …
You know what’s worse than being sick for about two weeks? Spending about eight hours in the emergency room while feeling miserable! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – nurses – my god, are they the most patient people or what? I don’t know how they do it. I’m a fairly impatient and stubborn …
Would you believe that six dentist appointments later, the whole root canal business is finally over today? I finally got the permanent crown put in earlier this afternoon. I can’t believe this took SEVEN weeks – when it usually takes one or two visits!
I LOVE barbecues and I love family gatherings, so a joint barbecue for nearby relatives and some friends for Faraz’s and my graduation party yesterday was definitely my kind of day. It was also kind of a farewell party for Faraz. I can’t believe that Faraz will be leaving next week for Canada! Thank you all …
