Well, yesterday Kenneth went to the doctor because he was having trouble breathing and said that his chest hurt... after returning from the Dr., with a recommendation to see a specialist (cardiologist) in Santa Maria, Nora decided to take him to the hospital in Marilao and have him seen by a Dr. there. After she got home from that, we found that nothing wrong with his heart (bp before was 120/90 which is not bad but that doctor must have also had a business treating horses, cows and other forms of lower life.... idiot).
Kenneth was officially diagnosed with Asthma and medications were prescribed, the total bill to me for this little adventure was 1,500p (actual bill was 1,380p, but I gave her the rest to cover the bus and jeepney fares). Having no health insurance here, if you have a sickly family will quickly put you in the poor house or on the street.
Ate Linda and Uncle Edwin appeared later on, about 4:30pm and that made for some excitement. It is good to see them and they seem in good spirits. Getting their grandson registered in Manila for foreign work is their purpose of being here now. Keggin will be staying here until such time as he is called to work.
Today is Wednesday, I hope that the RemitHome money comes as this is the 4th day. I might try to call or contact the bank later. but the delivery instructions said 1-5 working days and Monday was a holiday in America, being Presidents day.
Not sure what the remainder of today will offer, I do know that Nora will be going maybe into Marilao to purchase the remainder of the prescriptions for Kenneth. And today she WILL go to St. Lukes clinic. As near as she is accurate to the number of days she has missed, she should finish treatment on the 17th of May...
Well, I must close now and visit the relatives, perhaps I will add more as the day progresses... Gareth has a dr. appointment today so don't know when Lollie and I will chat.
Later you goofballs...
