A Long Two Weeks

It has been a long two weeks for me.  Two weeks ago, I just remembered that my doctor has asked me to look for a second opinion with regards to my liver that I totally forgot since I was advised to do it last September.

I found his letter in my files, I called up his office and tried to set an appointment but he was not available.  For two weeks, my life seems weird because Betty buzz me telling me in her dream I died, and was reminding me to go for check-up with regards to my liver.  Then, suddenly, another person was reminding me also about I have to take good care of my liver.  Then, another one; until yesterday afternoon.  I was watching the puppet show in NMEC, when Daryl, the son of Cherrie (my good friend) suddenly was saying "hepatitis."  It alarmed me more.  I thought I am going into depression again. After the show, I went to watch a movie and all of a sudden it seems I am experiencing pain on my right side.  The more I was alarmed.

I took my blood chemistry a week ago, and it seems everything is normal.  I ask my friend Rio to ask Dr. Lu if I should still go for a second opinion and he said "yes."

Today, I finally went to see Dr. Stephen Wong in Chinese General Hospital.  He was nice and kind and also a member of CBCP.  He explained to me many things about my liver.  And he told me that so far I am still in good condition.  I just need to keep my diet and daily exercise to remove fatty liver since there is no medicine or cure for fatty liver.

I praise God, maybe God knows that I have been worried about my fatty liver since my good cousin Jorge died of liver complication which maybe still affecting me very much.  I also had liver issue a year ago, but my blood chemistry and ultrasound this year has cleared me from previous diagnose of the doctor.  At least, now I know that I am healthy and not to worry about my liver.   I can serve God freely this time without other worries.

Now, I just need to have a hepatitis b vaccine and hepatitis c check-up to be sure.

Praise God and To God be all the glory
