I have a scheduled date with a Chong Hua Hospital in Cebu City for 8/19/08. I hope it is not a date that I actually keep though. Time will tell. I’m still trying to arrange for my medical insurance to be billed directly. Chong Hua has said nope but they suggested a third party that can handle it. So the insurance company is looking into that. I made the date to be admitted because the insurance was reluctant to do any thing until after I was admitted. Perhaps this will help. If this doesn’t get things done, then I’ll have to find another doctor and hospital.
I suggested to Jessie that I take her approach to medicine. NO DOCTORS! She doesn’t agree when it is me. I’m feeling pretty tired of being sick and even more tired of being broke because of being sick. I spend on average over $200 a month for medical cost and that doesn’t include what I pay for insurance premiums every month. I think that’s another $200 a month. It comes out of my check so I don’t follow it all that closely.
I am giving into this cold that has moved into my chest. I’ve been unable to walk for a while now. Tomorrow I will get some antibiotics. i have had so many chest infections, I know what to get even if I don’t know how to spell it. Erythromycin is the drug of choice. Don’t need a prescription for this.
I’m feeling a bit beat down by feeling the crud for a while and financial stresses. I just don’t seem to be able to save. I’ll just keep trying and maybe soon the Adsense income will come rolling in? Yep, at .02 cents a day. I’m getting more traffic but I’m making less this month, at least so far. But I never thought this would be a quick way to make any cash.
I really haven’t felt like doing anything for the last few days, the post on the blog needs some adjustments but I’m just not that much for details right now.

Grrrr, Erythromycin can interact with a blood pressure medicine I take and cause sudden cardiac death. Based on my reading, people with a reduced ejection fraction are more at risk. So I can’t take that. I don’t know what to take. I sure do wish I was good friends with a Pharmacist here.
Sory to hear you are still not feeling better Rusty. I hope you get it figured out.
I’m better, just not well. I guess I need to have a doctor in Bogo City too but my situation is so complicated by all the meds I take. I want off them!
