Here's to another life reboot beginning w/ gratitude. Despite my partial negligence, I've been showered w/ prayers, care and consideration. At home, upon informing our household that I might have COVID, all my essentials where already packed upon my arrival from work. At such urgency too, my uncles and aunts prompty prepared my accomodation, vitamins, food and even reconnected the wifi and phone lines so I could attend to my work meetings and watch netflix. During my 7 day being COVID positive, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly were it not for my dear aunt joana who sent me freshly-cooked gourmet and nutritious full course meals 3x a day. Today, she also sent these fresh and delicious @yokado.daifuku Fruit Sando and Fruit Daifuku that's specially prepared by a Japanese chef. At work, our already paid for and supposedly scheduled office outing was deferred. And, my ex-office committee's annual lunch assembly will be held again upon my resumption. My inter-office team also didn't pressure me on the delay on my part. The same is true for my social media deliverables. Thank you everyone. As a simple idealist, I can only strive to grow further and offer more of my skills for the greater good. ☺️ 阿姨送的日式水果麻糬和水果三明治。 #tsinoyfoodies #yokado #daifuku #fruitsando#fruitsandwich #japanesesandwich #covidrecovery #japanesefood #imnotworthy #gratefulness #gratitude #simplypleasures (at Manila, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBUtBIp8b-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I feel like shit, I’m done with this Covid nonsense. Had a nosebleed this morning. My chest hurts. I feel so horrible. Covid is such a nasty virus. My abdomen is a little painful today. I don’t know if it is my reflux of my bladder or the Covid wrecking the liver. I want to cry. #covidbattle #covid #covid_19 #covidrecovery #covidー19 #longhauler #covidlonghauler #longcovid #stillsick https://www.instagram.com/p/CgotPmug6d-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Doctors and the Dissonance

Something many people don’t know about me is that I ABHOR going to the doctors. I wish I could say it’s because they make me get on the God Bless America scale every time or all the blood they take or how long I wait in the room during an appointment or being around sick people...but really none of those scratch the surface of the why. 

CONTEXT: My foundational years were spent in a super legalistic/religious setting. While I’m grateful for the spiritual formation of those years, modern medicine/doctors is one of the things that I have been unable to fully shake off. When I was young I heard/learned that faith in God was supposed to make you well, that sickness was either a test, punishment or your cross to bear for Jesus. Either way there was NO MEDICAL involvement in my early years of life. The first doctor experience I remember, was in 8/9th grade and I had such a bad case of poison ivy that my whole face swelled up and my eyes were swollen shut. The doctor prescribed me steroids (I don’t recall even taking Tylenol prior to this time) and my younger self was pretty certain that I was going to hell on the spot. There was so much dissonance within me as I knew I needed intervention, but also didn’t understand why God wouldn't heal me and why my body didn’t heal itself like it was supposed to. 

I am MUCH older now, and while intellectually I know medicine is not wrong and sickness/disease is not a punishment/test, I still have a hard time going to the doctors if it isn’t my absolute LAST resort! This year has required me to listen to my body more than I ever had before. I contracted COVID in early August and was forced to rest and listen. I have been to the doctor 3 times in the last month-ish and I hope eventually it gets easier as I search for answers on the remnants of COVID recovery.

Tonight I laid on the bed at Patient First, waiting for an EKG and blood to be drawn, all while fighting a panic attack. I cried, recited every scripture I could remember, took deep breaths and tried to talk myself out of losing it in that room by myself. Honestly, I cry during or leaving the doctors pretty much every time. It feels like spiritual warfare and also the place where I feel like that 8th grader who doesn’t understand and isn’t sure it’s acceptable or “right” to go to the doctor.  When they take a urine sample I feel dirty and I feel conflicted as they take blood and can’t force myself to make eye contact with the nurse as my body is fully exposed to take the EKG. Maybe this is all a lesson and a way for me to find the truth amidst the foundational limiting beliefs. Maybe it is just life and the reminder that we are all fighting something, whether it makes sense to us or not. Either way I’m grateful tonight I get to fight and I have a ever present help in time of need. 

Till the next time, keep diving deep friends!
