Visiting Mr McDreamy

I am actually at work now, piles of credit card statements for me to account for and to file, but am procrastinating.

Maybe accounting job is not really my cup of tea. It's simple, for the current position, but not interesting.

Anyway, I visited the handsome GP (Previous visit HERE) again this morning.

For the past month, I've been feeling feverish, tired, anxious.

For the past week, mildly runny nose, frequent urination at night, sleep affected, right lower back pain yesterday, and mild pain in right testes.

I am worried that something may be wrong with my kidney. So I made an appointment yesterday to see him.

After telling all the symptoms, I was actually expecting that he would ask me to undress. Already showered and all that...LOL

But he just said it could be due to anxiety. So he printed out a DASS 'test'. It's a psychological test, it has a list of questions for me to answer. Just had to rate each question from 0 to 3.

So, the scores I had showed that I might be seriously depressed, normal for anxiety and slightly stressed.

I think he was expecting me to score super high on anxiety, and that would help explain the symptoms hopefully. But surprisingly, I wasn't anxious, according to the test.

Anyway, he ordered some tests for me. The standard STD screen (for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea urine), HIV, Hep C, Thyroid function, Full Blood Examination and PSA (might be prostate specific antigen- screen for prostate cancer??)

Ok, back to work now.

Oh, by the way, he's still so charming.

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...
