The Story Continues

(Read part one here: The Answer Everyone’s Been Waiting For)

Better late than never, am I right? I knew that from the moment I wrote Part 1 of my Dialysis series (should I start calling it that?), it would take me a long time to continue it. The days went by and I didn’t get to it right away, almost forgot about it and thought of not continuing it.. but since I have invested too much in it already, the obvious step is to probably continue it whenever I can, in my most convenient time. It’s a good thing that I don’t have strict deadlines, huh? So much of being a blogger! Hahaha!

My mentality with hospitals usually is to stay away and avoid getting hospitalized as much as possible. Once you end up in the hospital, they’ll do endless tests, and that is when you know you really fucked up your health this time and you can’t treat it on your own anymore. The other part of me thinks the tests they do to you at hospitals is sometimes irrelevant and unnecessary and only there so they can charge it to you and add up to the expenses. That’s another thing I avoid with hospitals – the expenses that you have to pay later!

Being admitted in December was not the first time last year. In fact that was the second time I was hospitalized. Prior to that, I was admitted sometime in October but in a different hospital. That was when the doctor assigned to me concluded that I needed Dialysis, but being the stubborn person that I am.. rejected his opinion and as soon as I was feeling well, I insisted to be discharged immediately. Yeah, little did I know that it would only get worse from there..

The Answer Everyone’s Been Waiting For

Filed Under: Dialysis Diaries

It seems that every time I get admitted into the hospital, or whenever I post a photo of my forearm with dextrose all over it – it freaks people out. 😆 I admit that I very rarely talk about my health anywhere online, what more with my personal life. Most of my social media accounts are locked now compared to in my late teens-early twenties when I would carelessly tweet and post messages online and not think of repercussions later on.

I have also been asked too many times the same question of what happened to you? by several people. From friends, to people I live with, people I don’t see often, people online, even people I don’t know who think I am too young to be where I am right now. Other than that question, they’re always shocked to find out that I have this illness such a young age.

I’ve come to laugh at the reaction process of people.. first they’re surprised, and then they’re shocked.. because I am so young, and I was so.. normal! Like how can this be ever possible, you’re skinny as shit, you don’t look sick at all!

Thank you guys for the concern, I appreciate it, I really do but it does get annoying getting asked the same question over and over again. Also, people pitying you.. again and again. The latter is definitely the worse.
