my latest trip to GH, and I got to Talk to a Doctor


Just got back from the Hospital, i was there for about 3hours. dad did an ultrasound (the same thing mothers will do to see their babys in the tummy) this time dad is not scaning for a baby, but to look into his kidneys.

I got the chance to talk to the doctor this time, It was Dr. N. She was nice to share what was happening and what are the steps they are taking to help father recover.

she explained that his kidneys are week. and he needs to be transferred to another wad after this so that another specialist can work on father's kidneys. Now, they must stop antibiotic and certain pain killers because they will make them even worse. father had a habit of taking pain killers (ponstan 500mg) each time he has pain and his not the kind of person that drinks clear water. he drinks mostly Coffee and tea ... and COKE. This does not help with his kidneys, plus he smokes, that makes it weaker 2times faster.

and for his pain, Dr N, and other Bone specialist found that fathers Lumbar area (i think L2 & L5) is dislocated. this cause the nerves inside to get pinch (cause PAIN). Dr.N did not say what they will do about the Spine yet, but she stress on his kidneys 1st. i believe its true, because if he cannot take medication , he may not be able to take the surgery. so its 1st things 1st.

.................................................................. what else can i say? i really don't feel like saying anything now. maybe next time when i feel better.
a cloud will clear and a rainbow will appear, but not now.
