Hello again, dear friends, how is life going on this pandemic time of the year? I guess our Christmas season won't be as happy as the previous years due to this virus that until now, the cure has not been found yet. As many of you might know, I am at a hiatus because of my heart condition. Since pandemic started, and because I was always at home, with no active lifestyle done, my condition progressed until I developed edema. I was confined last month for one week, and though I feel well now, I cannot have my face to face consultation with my cardiologist because the hospital where I have my check-up with him, is on LOCKDOWN. The nurses, who were my former students, bragged about their facility as COVID-FREE, until one, then two, then three, got infected. I scheduled myself my check-up on Monday, hopefully, the hospital will be safe already. In the meantime, I texted my cardiologist, for my maintenance medications so I can avail of my senior citizen privileges. he sent me the E-prescriptions and the laboratory requests too.

Never brag when you're in the medical facility such as hospitals, you never know what's going to happen. I hope your okay. It's not good to go to the hospital now a days. Be careful when you go through your consultation.

I hope the hospital will be safe by the time of your check up. It's worrisome to go to the hospital these days.

That is good you are able to contact your cardio. It is so difficult to be sick and get treatment these days because of the situation
