Why it is Expensive to be Sick (and be Fooled)
My life had been pretty terrible last week. It all started with the previous post, where my pity shows of fear combusted the paranoia in me until its flames consumed my innermost feelings of near death threats. That drove me to consult the nearest friendly clinic and chronicle the first-ever consultation of my entire life.
I became (a) patient. I shamelessly confessed my dizzy thoughts and incorporated it to the history of my stupid head accident. The doctor then (examined) looked at the scar covered by my hairy head and without any further ado, she advised me to undergo a skull x-ray and CBC (complete blood count) and gave me her usual scribbled prescription. On her medical speech, she also mentioned about CT scan and other tests God-knows-what, if in cases the advised tests would be negative. Instantaneous relief is what I got after the confession (which made me realize I should also confess all my sins to the priest), but not too long, I was kind of devastated before those succeeding medical terms and medical bills in the future.
Vertigo is Wherever I Will Go
I started to feel dizzy the moment I got up off bed last Saturday morning.
I still felt intermittent dizziness at work.
Dizziness also occurred when I laid down to sleep.
Today, I am “at a place called Vertigo \ It’s everything I wish I didn’t know \ Except you give me something I can feel \ Feel”. Now I am singing with U2.
“Hello! Hello? Are you still at a place called Vertigo?”
I am still in a dizzy mood, and now I am starting to freak out!
Vertigo, a specific type of dizziness, is a major symptom of a balance disorder.
…Vertigo can also be brought on suddenly through various actions or incidents, such as skull fractures or brain trauma, sudden changes of blood pressure, or as a symptom of motion sickness while sailing, riding amusement rides, airplanes or in a motor vehicle.
…Traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic injuries to the brain, also called intracranial injury, or simply head injury, occurs when physical trauma causes brain damage.

I am also showing signs of Postconcussion Syndrome:
- Fatigue
- Sleep Disorder
- Headache
- Dizziness/Vertigo
- Irritability/Aggression
And I am also starting to feel these:
- Anxiety
- Depression/Lability
- Personality Changes
- Apathy
I am REALLY scared…
Ginatilan Left a Mark in my Head
Sh!t Accident happens. Was I lucky or unlucky?
I lost my balance in the CR and hit my head on a sharp edge. I was drunk. I did not know if I slept or I fainted from the impact. I could not seem to figure out how much time I spent lying in the cr with my head pillowing the edge.
Slash wound on my head. A little blood stain on my pillow when I woke up. I touched my lump (on my head). Blood.
I was still drunk.
I vomitted.
That could have ruined my entire day.
These pictures could not have been taken:
(These are the two of the three falls in Ginatilan, Cebu. They are the Inambakan and Kambugnawan Falls)
