Monday blues

Health Service, Bentley Western Australia

Gosh..I’m late for my appointment. I woke up early this morning, but after subuh I went back to bed. I’m still not feeling very well this morning. Then I have just realised that I’m late for my appointment. It was suppose to be at 1045 and once I reached there it’s already 1105. Aiyoooo..I make a sad - 10cent face to the receptionist. She was asking me if I have a good reason for coming late…I told her that I’m sick this morning. At last she squeezes me in and the doctor also mad at me for being late. I just said sorry....it’s my fault ..sob sob sob. I came to see him for two reasons, for the flu (more than a week) and also for my every 6 month follow up as adviced by my nephrologist. I don’t like the follow up; in fact I’m supposed to do it in the last 2 months. I’m scared of the needle uhuhuhh.. Thank God, my blood pressure was nomal, that’s a good sign that I’m doing ok. Then I went to take my urine sample, the ‘mid stream’ urine. Since I did urine sample for many times, so I’m quite an expert already. The finale... its time for blood sample...my heart beats started to play the dangdut rhythm…dag dig dug (I just read about the dangdut singer, Haiza got married to the ex-hockey player). I told the nurse that I’m so scared of the needle even though this is my hundred times. “Nobody likes needles” she replied. I salute her..she’s an expert, I don’t even feel any pain. Fuhhhhh..what a relief!!!!!! The doc asked me to call for the result between 2-3 pm, Thursday next week.
