I went to the hospital for my follow-up check-up. This time, I was alone coz I'm a big girl now.. hah! hehe. My dad kept asking "Should I come with you? Do you want me to go there coz I'll be in a meeting with my client near the hospital" XD. I woke up late so when I got there, my waiting number is already at 22! I waited for uhhh.... four hours. I fiddled with the strap of my bag, deleted SMS from my inbox (700!!! 8O), walked around the place, observed people, listened to people's conversations while pretending to be asleep, went to the restroom, walked again, ate soy chicken noodles with crab meat and drank strawberry tea, composed messages that I can send to friends in the future (haha), slept for thirty minutes in a slouched position at the waiting area (haha I'm shameless). Well, I didn't know that there are so many people with gastro problems! hehe.
Finally met the doctor at 3:30pm. He told me that my GERD is a long-term problem. It'll prolly take months or years before I can get back to my normal lifestyle. The medicine helped a lot coz the daily acid reflux attack has somehow decreased. I'm not allowed to smoke, drink alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, eat chocolates, etc. I should be under a high-fiber diet, vegetables, exercise *eherm* more, and take psyllum fibre twice a day. He prescribed another medicine that I can take when there's another reflux attack. Oh, and he gave me a discount card for the medicine.(yay for saved money!) . haha. It kinda looks like a credit card! My sister calls it the GERD club card.. hehe. Tomorrow, I'll be back to the pressures of work. Good luck to me and good luck to my tummy :D
