Improving Their Facilities

tere — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:48:40 +0000

During the last visit to the hospital in the city showed me that they are improving their facilities as well as their medical tower which is now almost finished with the extension and renovation. There are new medical equipments in the hospital like those that I have been browsing through such as those medical computer carts at Howard-Medical.com. I have seen some of those installed and being used at the admitting and emergency.

Improving their facilities is a good way too since this will benefit the patients of the hospital in terms of upgraded medical system and equipments using more advance medical technology. These improved facilities will also convert to more efficient service and ease the workloads of the nurses, doctors and hospital workers. As they say these medical carts are there to make helping others easier as part of improving their facilities.

Hope It’s Not

I feel that pain again on the lower right side of my tummy near my hips. Hope it’s not A! It is the last thing I want. The pain is piercing and it is a little bit more intense now compared the last time this happened. I just finished a cup of McDo’s choco hot fudge that hubby bought earlier for my snacks when I started to feel the pain. It comes and goes. Hope this is nothing.

I immediately applied Indigo Manila’s Jar of Hope First Aid Gel when the pain started. This gel was the savior last time as it drove away the pain after applying it for a few times for two days or so I think. I actually thought the bottle is already empty now but when I tried my luck earlier to see if there is any little left, indeed there is still a little gel left in it. So I used and applied it immediately. As of now it seems to have gone away and I pray it indeed has gone away for good and won’t ever come back anymore. It’s Christmas and I want to spend it with my boys and my family here at home, healthy and happy!

God is good! Praise the LORD our healer!

Proper Nutrition and Exercise

As a mom to a young kid, I sometimes need to remind myself that there are habits and lifestyle that we need to change like working late at nights and not following a really healthy diet. This usually springs out of my mind when I and my little kid gets sick. With thoughts on proper nutrition and exercise, I also stumbled and found this Bioidentical hormone therapy austin as I found some time and went online for a little research on those topics to start with. While I was reading on something about PMS and stress induced adrenal fatigue, I get to read on that hormone therapy.

The times I had been sick lately I think I can attribute that to stress and fatigue. When you have two boys to deal with, moms can get to that point in terms of her health concerns. Proper nutrition and exercise is something I am trying to put more into my life now. I want to live longer for my little boy. He needs someone to help him through and I hope dad will be able to see that like I do. Any mom or dad and family actually needs to have proper nutrition and exercise. Make it a habit and a good family bonding activity like playing soccer for us.

Without Warning

tere — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:37:58 +0000

When manufacturers without warning for certain medicines or if they fail to provide sufficient warning on possible medical problems that might come out after taking their medicines, they become potentially liable for injuries and damages that will be suffered by those who take their products. Take for example the increased risk of developing cancer of the bladder when you happen to be a diabetic taking this particular medicine called Actos. Without warning, you might suffer the side effect. Unfortunate to be in such a situation that can be avoided. Given this, if it happens to someone you know, they might just need the legal assistance offered by this actos cancer law firm. It is no easy thing to find yourself in but you can seek legal actions for it.

Praying for Good Health

Just as we are about to rest and sleep for tonight, I prayed that my boys, me and my family will always have good health. I am reminded by this as I read about the Crestor lawsuit for a medicine meant for people with high LDL cholesterol, high total cholesterol, and triglycerides. I remember someone who has two of those health concerns. I hope that someone is not taking any medicine that poses health risks like possible scary and serious side effects such as heart attack and heart failure. It is indeed scary to know after all a medicine that you expect to make you well is bringing you more health risks.

Glass of Water

One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study according to “@cool_fact”.

I think this is just what I have to do. In fact I may not have totally noticed it but since I am now mostly keeping a bottle of water in my working table at night and I drink from it as often as I can since I was not feeling well last week, I realized I was not as hungry as often at night unlike months before. Maybe that worked for me. Well that sounds good and I might as well hopefully keep it as a habit at night especially when am up late working. I still am trying to lose weight and snacking late at night is the last thing I need to do.

Clear

tere — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:31:11 +0000

What a relief it is to hear today from the doctor (or at least my son’s pedia) that my lungs are clear after taking all the meds and antibiotic previously prescribed by my doctor who happens to be his wife. I know I feel better now after taking the Z antiB meds after a bout of cough that my son and I had almost at the same time. I could somehow sleep better now after a rather restless night last night. An episode of shortness of breath last night forced me to retire even if I wanted to do more work.

At least now less concern over my health and I could just pray that the little boy’s allergies or what it seems that exhibits through this rather cough that still persist even if he is through with his antibiotics. Praying for his full and complete recovery. I really pray this is no asthma that he has. I know God is always good and he will grant my fervent prayer.

Achy

tere — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:53 +0000

I woke up with an achy left side where I slept on. I hope it is just because of that little toy of the little boy that I found in the bed near me. It was gone soon enough and hubby told me it is not what I initially thought it was otherwise it should persist.

Today is doctor’s appointment day after I was put on hold yesterday because the slots were full already for yesterday and the doctor had a meeting at three in the afternoon. I hope the doctor’s findings will be okay and nothing serious.

We have a busy weekend and I want to shoot the festivities with hubby this weekend if health allows me too. Praying this achy feeling will go away now and not come back anymore, okay? *wink*

Double Check

tere — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:01:51 +0000

With so many medicines available in the market, it would be good if we double check on the medicines you take. Let us take for example, those who are type 2 diabetics who may be taking this oral medicine called Actos that had ended in an Actos lawsuit because this medicine based on studies may be causing serious side effects that can lead to serious injuries such as heart attacks or heart failure, as well as an increased risk of bladder cancer. We cannot take this for granted because being a diabetic is already no easy thing to deal with, how much more if you develop another complication coming from the medicine you take supposedly to heal you.

Stand Instead

tere — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 01:31:24 +0000

Have you ever thought that for every hour that you are sitting while watching TV or in the computer, you increase your risk of having a stroke by eighteen (18) percent?

Yes, so stand instead or stand every now and then. Do more physically active things in between each day. Spend more time moving around. Well that is something I have to remind myself constantly more. Standing instead is something that a friend had told me before is what she was doing aftershe gave birth.

Well for me now aside from just standing once in awhile or doing house chores in between, I try to dance to some upbeat music, stretch and even jog in place at times when I can get a break. The little boy would sometimes wonder what I am doing and I try to explain to him and let him join for more fun.
