此時此地此刻... 活在當下 Live for the moment: Appointment with specialist

Got mixed feelings for today. I had an appointment with a Gastro specialist for my stomach problem. I was nervous but also looked forward to it because I really wanted to know what was going wrong with my body. It really doesn't feel good having to suffer different kinds of pain/discomfort every day without knowing what to do to help improve the symptoms. At the moment, the only thing I can do is eat healthily, do exercises, be relaxed and have someone's massage service.

My two good friends 'pak pak' and 'pig pig' accompanied me to that mobile clinical unit in Salford. Initially I was expected to meet them at Piccadilly train station. Who knows it turned out that I met them near where my ex employer organization was! This tells me nothing's perfect - I can't avoid every person that I don't want to see or talk to... It was the first time we went to that mobile clinical unit. I was supposed to be the 'Tom Tom' for pak pak but I didn't do my job well and we went too far away from that clinical unit. Luckily at the end we managed to find it!

My appointment was much quicker than I had expected. Soon after I had reported to the reception, a nurse called me up. Pig Pig accompanied me to the room to see the consultant. The consultant asked me some questions and then asked me to lie down and 'knocked' my tummy with a kind of 'hammer'! He then ordered me to have an ultrasound scan and endoscopy. The first one could be carried out today but the second one had to be arranged by the endoscopy unit! Since I didn't eat anything, I could do ultrasound scan to check if I got any gallstone soon after I had seen the consultant. My first time to have an ultrasound scan! Interesting to see the monitor about my internal body... The lady said things looked normal... It was good to know I didn't have gallstones but still I'm wondering why I have stomach pain and other symptoms. Hopefully the endoscopy can be arranged soon...

After the appointment, I had breakfast with pak pak and pig pig at McDonalds! Felt a bit sorry that they had to wake up early today. They said they didn't get used to being awake so early! :P Then we did a bit of food shopping and we went back to pak pak's house as I had to have a look at pak pak's laptop again! After today, I hope I wouldn't have to deal with the problems of pak pak's laptop. I really feel tired of it... :P

I couldn't wait to go back home after sorting out pak pak's laptop problems, since the weather was getting worse - raining, and I felt cold in pak pak's house. One of the reasons why I'd prefer flats to houses is flats tend to keep more warmth than houses!

The weather this morning...
