I left the house early around 5 :30 am so I could buy breakfast at KFC after my FBS. I was on an 8-hour fasting last night for FBS today aside from three more tests that I had to undergo. I was early but I didn’t know The Medical City Clinic opens now at 7 am so I didn’t have to wait long.
I looked at the bill they charged for the series of tests, my, so costly. Imagine, four syringes of blood from both arms. Good thing, it was not so painful. I’ll be going back to my endocrinologist on Saturday. It’ll take two days before the test results are out. My endo has replaced my internist, she is both an internist and endocrinologist. My left ear is acting up again, sometimes painful but unlike before, the pain is tolerable. I like to see the result of my lab tests first before I go back to the ENT. The latter said my ear infection has a connection with my abnormal blood sugar. The things one has to sacrifice for one’s health. I am glad though that I lost more than a kilo since my check-up almost a month ago. Maybe my morning walks are helping😊.
I am not as worried with my health as I was before because I left everything to God’s will. I pray every day that I still would like to get well so I could take more care of mom and my kids. She is becoming so forgetful every day.
Our liver line Shih Tzu is already four-month old. A chubby little puppy. So happy to play with him every day.
what is FBS?

They opened some branches not so long ago. I’ve not been because they’re too far away (I love around 70 odd miles away from the nearest one [London]). That was one of the first things I had when I was in Ph last year 😂😂😂

Jollibee is all over the globe. We have them here in almost every corner.

That’s right. For some reason, they infiltrated the British market a little late. They have several branches here now, but none of them near me 😑 oh well..

May you get good news about your health. I am glad that the endo is your new primary so you don’t have to go back and forth between doctors as much.

A little tip: Frequenting KFC and the like (And eating lots of fast food fried chicken) raised my bad cholesterol.
I hope your results are good, though.

I seldom eat at Fast Food chain, couldn’t find a more convenient place, since most of them are still closed. Thanks!
