Saturday trip out

Before my follow up...Shane sms to tell that she could get me my old meds for a certain price...which obviously is too late after the follow up good news since i no longer use that...and the topic somehow went to meeting up for dinner

As usual...she's super blur one...mixed up my working location again...but it was decided that we would meet on sat afternoon for lunch with her friend...after i go hospital to return the meds

Then on tuesday...i got a very very surprising visitor on my msn...it was Adeline!!! haven't heard from her since ages although we have each other's msn contact...so talk talk talk...me repeating my 5 months history to her without the need of explaining the medical terms...hehehe...and then decided that...meet out for dinner on saturday

Then on wed night...annouced that there's tracting on saturday morning...

So all in all...my saturday is going to be one long day!!!

20 Feb 09

Morning:
Went tracting at the KK hall at 9am...i had to drive there since i'm going straight to assunta to return my meds...and then onwards to meet shane for lunch...

So...tract around the hall...walk walk walk...then jog jog a bit bit since won't be exercising today...so might as well do a bit...walau...sweat like don't know what...in my jeans!!!..joshua so kwai to teman me jog balik to the hall...hahaha

Then after breakfast...went to assunta hosp...called Dr. Thye's nurse to make sure she'll be there as i was already running late...had to go pump petrol and top up touch n go card somemore (stupid bro forgot to top up for me...made me got stuck at toll plaza)...then found a parking spot on the 5th floor...walk down the stairs as lazy to wait for lift and also wanna exercise more...found out i left my parking ticket in the car...so up again to the 5th floor and down again...walau eh...my legs were breaking d

Reached Dr. Thye's clinic...WALAUEH...super chui lang man!!! (super a lot of people)...and i thought i can just go in in between the patients...ya right...she's so busy...there's no in between patients...in the end...gotta wait for 1 hour...sms shane to tell her i'll be super late...only to be called back and kena zha by her for not making appointment...with the lecture of her being in the industry for 10 years...hehehe

Went starbucks to get a hot americano...then go back to the nurse counter...only to find the bench facing the room was fully occupied...the nice nurse was kind enough to ask me to sit next to her...like i'm a special patient only...then she told me she put me as an appointment for Dr. Thye...so clever man this nurse...hehehehe...although i didn't make any appointment...she made the appointment for me!! so in a way...i wasn't even cutting any queue!!! too bad Dr. Thye was super busy with a few patients that needed to run a lot of tests...hence the long wait...nurse so nice somemore show me my old records available on the system...until finally Dr. Thye's patient came out...

I didn't even know that the nurse actually brought out my medical file for Dr. Thye to refer...but i guess she needed to do that...since she knew my purpose of seeing the doc...before that i saw Dr. Thye while she was on the way to the stress test room to see another patient...and already told her i need her help to write the instructions to stop my medication

So...while Dr. Thye was writing the instructions (letter)...she asked me...how many box left??? i was like..."box?? no box...just 5 strips left...about 36 biji..."...she was like "huh?? not one box??? can return???"...i told her i think so can since they charged me by per pill and not per box...and so she continues to write the letter...

Then i asked her...i have one strip where i have taken out one pill and is no longer a perfect strip...so if the pharmacy doesn't accept that strip...can i continue to take that strip for a week??? She gave me a look and said this..." Later you get hypos again...then you say you get hypothryoid..." ...right...she remembers me all right...hahahaha...i was like..."no la...no hypos...lower bg only...still normal...hehehe"...but was also on the paiseh side...don't you just love this doc man...like to zha me kao kao now...hehehehe

After returning my meds to the pharmacy...i walked back up 5 floors as exercise again...and i notice a very big difference now compared to 3 months ago...on monday...i ran up the stairs as well...and only managed till 4th floor running up...then walked the remaining 3 floors...and with just a little bit of panting...this time...i manage to walk up all 5 floors with no difficulty at all...of course la my heart was beating fast...but that's normal...i still had the stamina to go on more floors...woohoo!!!

Afternoon:
By the time i finish everything from the hospital...it was already 1.30pm...so called shane up apologising like don't know what for being so late...and then it was decided that we'll go SS2 makan...

On my way there...at the junction to SS2 near the Lisa De Inn Roundabout...i saw an idiot that suddenly dashed out almost got killed...thank goodness the proton managed to stop in time with his tyres screeching and when he fell...the other car was stationary...if not...he'll be bye bye now or at least with serious head injuries in hospital....

Shane picked me up from my parking spot and went to some restaurant to makan...it was so much fun as it was a 2 against 1 zha-ing session...with me and evelyn ganged up to zha shane...it was so fun and funny...hehehe...

Initial plan was me following them to 1 utama for shopping with shane's mom as well...but somehow...something turned up...plan scrapped...and we had to part...sob sob...but at least...got another meet up date d...on 13 June 09...my next follow up date...since i'll be in PJ anyway...you imagine la how hard it is to meet this ah chiea...as she flies here and there...until airport already jadi her second home...hehehe

So with the original plan messed up...i balik rumah...and jogged on the treadmill for 10 min and walk another 10 min...now i've upgraded my exercise to half jog and half walk...my goodness...the jogging itself make me sweat more than my 20 min of walking last time...and my heart beating faster...means a better work out...so can say this day i exercise a lot...from jogging and walking during tracting...to walking up and down the stairs for 5 floors...then now on the treadmill again...wah...break my own record of exercise time...woohoo!!!

Night:
After gospel meeting...went straight to Jaya Jusco to meet up with Adeline...as she couldn't come for the gospel meeting...she went there first and was hanging around the arcade...as i haven't seen her in a long long while...apart from the web cam...i was looking high and low for her...just when i was about to reach my phone to call...she turned around and pop up right in front of me...yes...i really mean RIGHT IN FRONT of me...and both of us said the same thing to each other...wah!! really no change from last time...hehehehehhehehehe

We went to Kenny Rogers for dinner...since its friendly to me...(thanks adeline for accomodating me)...tested there...and my exercise for the day produced a result of 4.6!! wow!!! and only on metformin 850mg!! ...well its either the exercise really worked...or the metformin really worked...or...the januvia is still in my system...or could be all 3...but hey...i'm not complaining at all!!!

Throughout the whole meal...talking only about medical stuff...from me history...to her stressful meds studies...to exercise...to whatever medical related...quite nice chatting about those...at least this time its her explaining to me medical terms and not me explaining diabetic medical terms...hehehehe

After dinner...went to Caring pharmacy...wanting to buy the pre-balance powder which i put on my oat bran breakfast...and at the same time want to check my BP...since i'm having like not so normal heartbeat...at least i think its not normal...as its low...

Reached the pharmacy and the pharmacist (who already recognises me) told me the powder no stock...but she has ordered it...hehehehe...so i asked her to check my bp...and adeline went...don't get white coat syndrome ah (means get excited and bp goes up)...turns out my bp was 105/68 and heart rate is 62...both adeline and the pharmacist said its low but normal...so i guess i have white coat syndrome...but only with Dr. Thye...since my bp at her place was 130/70...which is high but still normal...the pharmacist was like...your bp is always this low?? since you're also at this level the last time you checked here...when i told her about the reading at Dr. Thye's place...she also hairan...Adeline just went...don't worry...its low but still normal...120/80 is white people's level...LOL...

It was really nice and fun to meet up with an old friend which you haven't seen for years!!!...plus also its someone that you can share your medical condition too as she totally understands it...

Funny thing was...on this day as well...i got another message (more of facebook profile comment) from another meds student and old friend...this time...it was Evelyn (not Shane's evelyn...but MGS evelyn)!! wah...not everyday you get to find future doc friends contacting you when you need it...

Thanks for the medical advice when i needed it future docs!!!
