Mom's Follow-Up Checkup, the Hospital Beeper, and Overcoming My Fear of Going in a Crowded Cafeteria All Because of My Growling Stomach

We're in the middle of nowhere, why? Our service today, a tricycle, decided to act up and now it won't start running. I'll be cool with it if we don't have something important to do today, but, Mommy F has a follow up check up and we can't cancel it.


So why act now? Why you have to stop running in the middle if nowhere? We'll be late for sure -yeah, we're really late and ended up being the 57th to be called. Imagine that, goodness. Mom was really annoyed.


Good thing the owner of the house where we stop had some tools so Ka Alvin can change the spark plug in his tricycle. We made a stop twice because of it but even late, we still arrive in our destination. But yeah, after a really long waiting time. Aigoooo.

Mom insist in walking but the people noticed Mom's having a hard time walking so they let us use a wheelchair. The question is, do we also need to pay for using this? Oh gosh, more expenses then...


During the waiting time I am attending to Mom checking on her asking and making sure that she's okay. Although I was focus on her, I can't help but also noticed the number of people who needs a check up. I checked it before going home and they're currently at #81. Thats how much people visit in a hospital for check up that day, quite a lot no. There's too much of us here that waiting is so exhausting. Mommy F was really annoyed too but can't do much about it. Everyone has to wait for their turn, whether you're a senior or not. There's no priority because everyone made an effort to visit to the hospital much earlier than us.

We left home at 7:00 a.m, we arrived in the hospital at 8:30, we're really surprised when I heard that we're on the 57th. Crazy! But you know, waiting to a late doctor is more annoying. Why some doctors are like that no? They are not on time always, it's okay if they are a minutes late but more than hours? Hah! Even my ENT doctor is like that. ಥ_ಥ
Anyhow, an hour, turn to 2 and 3, it's already lunch time but we're still here, waiting ʘ‿ʘ. And you know, I was willing to wait until 1 pm, in my head, I'll eat at home, I don't want to eat alone in a crowded carinderia. The shy me is seriously begging me not to go alone. But because I'm already super hungry, no choice, I had to do it alone. Mama did the same. It is really a good thing that Mama's with us because if not, no one will look after Mommy F if I ever went to the nearby carinderia.
And I can't still believe that I was able to eat alone in the carinderia, ordered on my, own, in an unknown and crowded place. If the situation call for it, I can actually do it, I just need confident and a growling tummy (≧▽≦). So yeah, I also bought lunch for Mommy F coz she's also already hungry. Mama A already ate before me so after finishing mine, It's Mommy F turns. She's actually love her viand that time, haha, chicken barbeque. Sadly I don't have a photo of everything coz I mean, i'm still shy to take photos, in a crowded place. And I am actually eating fast because I want to go to Mommy F fast ( ꈍᴗꈍ)




So we finished our lunch and waited another hours because unfortunately, it's lunch break for the doctor ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌. Before they left they handed a biscuit, a pampalubag loob maybe. Of course we understand, they are only human and they also deserved a break.

The break is not that long either. After another more minutes, they return and they started handing this to us. This is like what you found in some fast food or cafe when your order was ready. If they use this now then that's better. I like it coz it vibrates and made a sound. When it's finally our turn, they just ask us a few question and we just answer them and its done. There's a scheduled check up again this month, but this time with lab test too. Then after 6 months, Mom have to undergo another CT Scan to check the blood cloth in the back of her head. Hopefully that blood was already wash away or something.


She's also taking six kind of medicines, she has to take them for 35 days aguy. Before leaving they handed this to us, a BP Diary. We have to Monitor mom's BP from then on (^._.^)ノ.

Oh @ruffatotmeee that's a long crazy journey you had today. From tricycle commotion to doctor's impunctuality, for sure you ha a slight headache that made you feel you need check up too. Huhu. But I am glad you made it and successfully had your Mom checked up which is very necessary. A little bit of patience would really make us successful in doing things. But if that long hours was seven or eight hours of waiting, for sure I am leaving. Cannot wait it because it is a waste of time. Haha. Anyway, I hope your Mom gets well and has her bloodclot gone. I am praying for her health. Thank you for sharing this little journey ruffa❤️
Really a tiring one, esp for Mom, she's been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time. I wish we can just leave, with how much time that was wasted there, its a good thing wala na kaming naka schedule pa na gawin that time. Lol. Thank you for the visit.
I remember going to the ob-gyne clinic for a check up too. We came at 8 in the morning traveled almost two hours to get there just to wait for another 6 hours before I get called. Even had the time to eat lunch before getting checked haha. the doctor comes at around 10-11 in the morning, to which there are about 50 pregnant women waiting in the small clinic. Since the space is small, the temperature is really higher than usual room temperature.
Sometimes really physicians in our country really have that late comers attitude. Although may be they are really busy but waiting for more than few hours is too much I think for patients. Hope your mom feels better soon!
Gosh that's also a long hours of waiting. Sad we can't just leave coz its also important aigoooo. I'll be more annoyed if the weather is also really bad.
Right? Like, why they can't come ng much earlier ba. Aigoooo
It was such a long queue and for sure your patience were tested. Good thing that you were able to make it with your mommy F.
Seriously! I feel bad for Mom coz sitting for long hours is exhausting too esp if its in a wheelchair. 🫠
Ayoko talaga makita mom ko na naka wheelchair na. How old ulit si mom mo? sana mas lumakas pa sya :)
Same, nakakaawa, but no choice. Aigooo. 71 na sya, that day masakit din paa nya 😮💨. Thanks madam, tuloy2 gamutan nya now. May improvement naman.
It's sad that the hospital does not have a senior priority lane.
Hope the blood clot is gone with the help of the medicine.
Really sad talaga, di ata uso kapag sa hospital. Really wishing for that, amen
Mainis Ka talaga minsan SA tagal Ng paghihintay. Lalo na ang tagal dumating mg doctor😬
So true lang talaga, di naman pwedeng umuwi muna coz we're from other town pa. Aigooo
Nakakainis talaga Kung Saan may lakad at kailangan mag madali Doon pa nasisiraan 😅 parang tinetest Yung patience mo e. Hahahaha bat buti nalang nakaabot kayo dear, pero mas maaga Sana kayo Kung Hindi nag inarte Yung sinasakyan niyo e. Hah
Chaka true mapapa independent Ka talaga kapag need na talagang ikaw na dapat ang mag isa. Haha best experience talaga Yung face your fears 😅
Pagaling mama mo dear at mawala na Yung blood clot niya sa ulo. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So true dear, ang if sana di important okay lang, kaso, nong araw pa talaga na yoon. If mejo maaga kami baka nakauwi sana kami ng mas maaga.

STOPYour story really touched my heart. It shows how deep a daughter’s love can be patient, selfless, and brave even in uncomfortable situations. You faced challenges, from transportation issues to your fear of crowds, yet you still chose to care for your mom with strength and compassion. Wishing your mom complete healing and you more courage and faith in every step of her recovery journey.
Awww, thank youuuu. We really want nothing but her full recovery ( ◜‿◝ )♡
That was some journey and I was trying to remember if you had a tricycle then I presumed you mean you rent one. Well at least that episode is finished for now. You know we are strange creatures, but when we really have to do something then we usually do, just as you did ordering food on your own! I hope you enjoyed it!
We have a tricycle yes, its new actually. The plan was to use it and just hire a driver but in the last minute they decided to rent a tricycle too. We really should've use ours, aigoooo.
We become braver if it's really we had too, i mean no other choice there ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
