2009 – I didn’t get sick even a fever at all. Come 2010 – spent a week in a hospital.

Ilan days na din ako nilalagnat and I thought na lagnat lang talaga yun. Nagpa-CBC with platelet count ako at lumabas na mababa ang platelet ko. Positive Dengue nga. We opted for confinement for hydration lang. Sayang. Pwede na sana yun sa bahay. Pero iba din talaga yung may medical assistance. Thanks to Our Lady of Mercy General Hospital in Pulilan, Bulacan and to my attending physician Dra. Eliza Valenzuela.

One night hindi namonitor ng nurse ko yung IVF level ko kaya nadrain, ang tendency magclot yung dugo ko dun sa abbocath. Pag nagcloth kailangan ireinsert. Huhuhuhu! Sa kabilang kamay sinubukan pero wala. Cephallic vein subok ulit pero wala. Huhuhuhu. Hanggang sa yung Resident on Duty ang nagreinsert. Nagtataka ako bakit sa artery niya ininsert instead na sa vein. Anyways, alam nya naman ang ginagawa niya at gumaling naman ako. So, good.

Thank you sa lahat ng concerned citizens na nagtext at dumalaw. Ready na akong magpakagat ulit sa lamok. hahahaha!

Don't worry I was really fine. I was just goofing around so I put on some powder on my lips to look pale. Crazy eh?
