And that means going back for lab tests and check-ups. My last visit to my hematologist was two months ago. My other doctor visits will be in September.
I’ll have a check-up with my hematologist tomorrow although my platelet count that she is monitoring is normal. I’m a good patient….haha. Her sky-high professional fee is not covered by my Intellicare health insurance. She only accepts cash. The truth is, I am always praying that my health would stay in the low range of CKD and DM2. That’s manageable enough if I may say. I do spend more than 6K a month for my medications on top of the four kinds of medicines provided free by our Municipal Health Office. One of the perks of being a senior citizen in our town. I get 20% discount on medicines with prescriptions. I also need to submit the doctor’s prescription at the Municipal Health Office to avail of the other four and that is renewable every four months.
I am not so comfortable going out during these rainy months. Good thing, we only have thunderstorms this afternoon. Our weather bureau is monitoring an LPA (Low Pressure Area) that has entered our country but they said it won’t likely turn into tropical depression. There are three expected weather disturbances this month. Three are several LPAs running after each other in the Pacific Ocean at the moment. I am hoping they won’t reach the Philippines.
