The 5-month coughing and constant low grade fever have given me enough opportunities to get familiar with public healthcare system. Yes, it is a great thing to live in Canada that you don't have to pay a penny when you are sick (To be exactly, other than $3.5 per hour hospital parking, I paid nothing). However, how efficient and effective the system is, it might be too early for me to judge. I've seen 5 doctors, got 6 different medication, taken 2 blood tests and 2 X-Ray during last 5 months, unfortunately I'm still coughing like a dying old lady while I'm typing now. My chest and stomach muscle have got more than enough exercise during the last 5 months for me to skip all the gym workout. It gets annoying only
when I feel all my organs are displaced after deep coughing for no reason. I hope my doctor can take the coughing away from me on Thursday when I go visit her again to see my other test results and potentially I might be assigned more tests to do (feel like myself one of those little cute white lab mice). Or maybe I should go walk into ER directly and tell them I might have H1N1......haha, H1N1 does sound more sophisticated than Swine Flu.I'm so grateful that my parents are with me for the last two and half months. It's been many years I haven't been around with my parents, I like to be a kid again (ha...said shamelessly). With Mom here, my stomach has been pleased a lot, however one thing weird is that I don't see myself gaining any weight. Only thing I could think of is my mom is a genius.
Summer is over in Ontario. I can feel the long dragging winter is around the corner, maybe this weekend is a good one to go north for foliage. I desperately need a vacation, maybe a prescription of 2 -week vacation can cure my coughing. I know I'm a genius, like my mom.
