It's been a month since I went to the doctor for my wide range of health problems as you read in the blog before this. Well, here's an update. Still sick. My sinus infection was under control a week ago, as my doctor puts it, but after I went to the doctor today, now it's not. SUPER.
Since I went to the doctor I have manage to...
~Have follow up checks every 3 days. That's at least 10 doctor visits (costing ~300,000w total, so far..)
~Have had 5 pills prescribed to me to take 3 times a day ( Which means I have consumed 340 drugs, not including all the IBprofen for my body aches). Which also cost around 12,000w for each prescription.
~Have had my ears drained (twice in one ear, and once in the other).
~A shot in the butt.
~The goods from my nose and throat sucked out every dr. visit.
~Have had 5 different strained muscles in my rib cage from coughing.
~A few SUPER awesome side effects from all the above.
~And received a present from the doctor, a very fashionable surgical mask to wear.
All lot of people complain about the healthcare in the States, but at least you can visit once and get all the drugs you need to become healthy again AND maybe use a sick day or two.
On the bright side, if you know me, I usually don't let feeling awful stand in my way (except for the last two months) and I'm headed to a Winter festival this weekend. Don't quite know what to expect except there will be ice sculptures and ice fishing, where you catch the fish with your bare hands!!! Once I heard that, I was sold! If you catch a fish, which I will, there's a place that'll cook it for you. Stoked!
Don't worry, I'll post the pictures of my enormous fish! :)
