I went to the pulmonary doctor last Tuesday, March 2. He assured me that my lungs are clear and that my cough and colds are caused by a virus. He assured me that my body would feel a lot better in 4 to 5 days. That my body would heal by itself.
I am done with the prescription. I still feel not well. My cough persists and it keeps me awake at night. I sleep intermittently. My husband also loses sleep from the sound of my barking at night. Although he would never admit that I disturb his sleep.
He said he’s starting to have cough and sore throat but he does not want to admit that he got the virus from me. He didn’t want to make me feel sorry for myself.
Omb—–“Sorry tart, nahawahan na kita”.
E——“Kay Philip Santos ako nahawa, galing daw sya sa sakit”.
Omb—-“Pero, hindi naman kayo nag-aakapan ni Philip”.
E——“Kahit na, basta pagnag-uusap lang pwede kang mahawa sa virus”.
Nasermonan na naman nya ako this morning over breakfast. Kesyo psychological daw yung way ko ng pag-ubo. Pati yung constipation ko psychological din daw. Ang sarap ng feeling na hinihika na ako, hindi na ako makahinga, masama ang pakiramdam, nanghihina, nasesermonan pa.
This afternoon I wanted to go back to St. Luke’s in QC but because of the heavy traffic, I hesitated. Instead I tried to speak to the doctor thru the phone. The secretary told me that he couldn’t pick up the phone because he has 10 more patients waiting. I called several times. The last call was at 5:30 pm. The doctor left a message with the secretary.
That tomorrow I just go straight to a ENT. Not to him? I felt like he was giving up on me. Bakit naman kasi ayaw akong gumaling.
Good morning, Ms Annie.. 🙂
Mahirap talaga ang condition mo.. U said u already have asthma attacks and a very bad cold which makes it more difficult for u to breathe well.. Add to that a SERMON which leaves u feeling more sorry for urself than helping to make u feel better.. 🙁 Pero i know that ur hubby means well — ayaw lang nya cguro na mashado kang nagwo-worry which also adds up to ur stress.. 😉
I don’t think ur Pulmonologist gave up on u entirely.. Maybe he thinks that an ENT Specialist could better address ur health problem, kaya he left instructions to his secretary for u to consult with an ENT.. 😉
Perhaps it would be best if u do see an ENT so he could do something abt ur persistent coughs which makes u (and sir Edmund) lose sleep.. 🙁
I hope u will feel better soon, Ms Annie.. 🙂 pls take care and be safe always.. Try to rest whenever possible para makabawi ka ng sleep 🙂
God bless u… Have a nice day, Ms Annie.. 🙂
