Greetings, folks. Between the previous entry & this one, I've been in & out of the hospital twice more. The liver swelling is pretty much confirmed & it's causing adverse reactions to medication. There were allergic reactions causing my face to swell up & rashes appearing all over the body. I've been in the ward for observations & the blood pressure was pretty much low most of the time. The various doctors here kept asking if I consume generous amounts of alcohol; I neither smoke nor drink so the liver swelling up is unexpected & mysterious to say the least.
Folks, if you are unwell & in serious condition, it's better to be warded than being treated as an outpatient. The former means you medical expenses are taken care by whatever government schemes in place. The latter - you fork out cash. I've pretty much used up my last paycheck & whatever donations that came my way (thank you to the kind donors as listed in the previous entry) to make ends meet. So this is a tough one for me especially so when I'm on a contractual appointment; I don't have any medical benefits & I don't get paid for the days I'm not at work despite the legit medical certification. I'm sharing this here so that you can plan your days better (better than me, at least) in case you fall ill & need to be out of action for a while. I pray you would not be in such a situation.
On that note, since I'm pretty much at home for the most part (no work + no money = stay home), I would resume blog entries with immediate effect. It helps keep me occupied (distracted more like it) especially on days when I feel too weak / lethargic to play guitar; it's the meds side effects & it's here to stay. Thank you for all your contributions, if you still have spare change, please send them my way; every bit counts. I would be putting the QR code link at the side bar for easy reference. Thank you once again to everyone who had contributed in so many ways - God bless.
