hilot.

What you don't know won't hurt you, that is till you see your doctor.

My back started to hurt again 2 weeks ago and this time I was having difficulty walking or even just standing up. This is bad,... so bad that I really had to see a doctor this time. Unlike earlier this year when I had U.T.I., this was another thing. This time i need to have some tests, and I took all of it, CBC, FBS, Lipid profile etc. It could be nothing or I could have everything. I was hoping nothing will show up but I expected the worst.

When the results was explained to me by the doctor, my worst fear didn't happen. I got 3 out of 5. No celebrations here. My blood sugar was normal, my liver was normal and I'm not hypertensive, but I have a slightly above-average cholesterol level and I have high readings of uric acid. Shit. Now the hard part. I have to take some medications for 2 months and HAVE to stay clear of some food groups for everything to normalize, and I have to exercise! I have weekly sports activities when I was in Manila, but while working here I wasn't able to participate in any. Though I do get to walk a lot while at work, the doctor advised me to do other activities because my body has adapted to the level of stress associated with work. Ah well, The good thing is I'll be coming home soon and I can go back to playing basketball and badminton.

My back still hurt up to this day even after a "hilot" kneaded all the air in my body. Though she said I had a lot of air in me but after the session my body still hasn't deflated. Hehehe.

A lot of air. What the heck does that mean? The masseuse also says I have a lot of "hangin" in my feet. Whatev.

Get well!
