Down But Never Out

The week was not forgiving at all.
Had been battling cough and colds for the longest time and it already signalled that I had to make this one visit to the doctor or I might regret everything.

Initial diagnosis was not really something I was grateful about as the doctor ruled out BRONCHITIS.To help you picture out what's the deal, I literally spit out thick pleghm which is not a good site at all. To make my description a little bit graphical, slight cough will not mean saliva being thrown out but phleghm...yes a thick one....

Then I had this mini coaching session with the doctor that my visit was long overdue....here are some lessons the doctor taught:

1. consultation with the doctor should be sought when cough and colds do not go away after 2-3 days
2. buying all the antibiotics being prescribed is stupid, get the first three days and if it does not have any positive effect, get back to the doctor and seek help again
3. going natural is no longer a wise decision these days. bacteria or viruses evolve. the more we nurture them inside our body, means we allow them to create strains and community of a whole-new weird sickness is on its way
4. lastly, HMO benefits should be used wisely....you pay for them so you take advantage when the need arises.....

Okay, I agree that these were good takeaways from that single visit I made. The lecture actually healed me instantly (emotionally I guess). From ntow on, I have a new perspective on my health, GET A DOCTOR WHEN YOU NEED ONE. When do you need one? Well, refer back to the 4 takeaways with the doctor.

The week was tough as me and my partner transitioned into something that is a little awkward. The term is OPEN. Yes! It was finally decided with provisions and all. Question is? How do we handle it. I guess the only way to find out is to test it.

Believe me, it may sound a little cheezy for some but it you are bound to act like this character for the zodiac sign LIBRA, balancing things like love and career is a daunting task. You can never have the best of both. Somewhat, one will have to get less attention than the other. Right now, its important that I make good out of my career. I get all these encouragements from my bosses, that I can make the most of my position if I only know exactlywhat I want. I vow to make things happen...

As for the other side of the balancing task, loving a person is not just like taking a spoonful of food that you spit it out if you don't want it. Sometimes, talking it out and lowering your pride could be the worst thing you'll ever do but it may be just the most efficient and useful tool you can rely on. Like I said before, it was awkward. Who said taking these changes are easy anyway.

Right now, I am getting back in shape. Got a clean bill of health from the doctor. I just need to reinforce more rest and get back to work with a much better perspective of things. It is important that we look back at things that cause our breakdown and learn from it.

I learned from the best.........
