Inside the head of someone with Systemic Lupus Erythemtososus (with a mother recovering from Invasive Ductal Carcinoma)

No Check-Ups For Now
I've been back in Manila for more than a week now. Despite the constant reminders of my mother, I still haven't been to my doctor yet for a visit. It's not really mandatory for me to come see my physician everytime I come home from a foreign assignment, but my relatives I guess want to be sure that I'm still fine and they don't see another episode of what happened to me last May. I feel fine. Some people say I grew thin, some say I grew fatter but the general consensus is that I look a-O.K.. I guess that's a source of comfort for now. Actually since I got back I've been staying up late again, either due to traffic going home, or parties and dinners I've been going to with officemates and friends. I haven't really regained the lost sleep I had on the flight home from Paris. Compound that with the little amount of sleep I've been getting these past days and I'm pretty sure I won't have "acceptable" urinalysis, CBC, and ESR lab results. So I think it's better that I don't see my doctor for a while. In any case, I think she'll be on Christmas vacation too.
