Good Saturday morning from this side of the globe. How is everyone?
I cannot be back here because this semester will be a very busy second half of the school year for me.
I had my check-up last Wednesday and I was pricked twice by the medical technologist because "I had very low INR---0.66". My cardiologist advised me another prick in another hospital and the result was 2.01. Dr RG said he will investigate why the 2 results were too low, despite the fact that I did not alter my routine.
I will be assigned at Intermediate Medical Care Unit, handling level 4 students per shift. I was not granted late shift (3pm-11pm)but morning shift (7am-3pm). This week is also a very toxic one for me, and I am not yet done.
I will miss you all here, but duty and rest call first. I should be stress-free, in work and at home. Never mind my sister, she is already a part of my emotional activity at home.

yes, the first result in the hospital was way too low, that i had to have another prick after my check-up, and still it was low.
the result in the other hospital was within normal limits, thank God, that was why i had to tell my cardiologist about the discrepancies of the results

@ridingbet Thank you. It was kinda expected when his PSA showed a more than 100 number. And he suddenly was thinning and growing weak rapidly.
That's good that you have at least a rest period. Indeed , colleges now starts August. Even h in out state university here , the Bicol University starts August. But private schools started already and the public elementary and high schools.

indeed, the 0.66 and the 0.76 (2nd prick) by the same medtech is too low, as compared to the one from the other hospital which was 2.01.

@LadyDuck hello there. yes, i was back last 1st of June. i am on desktop now. i usually read discussions on mobile phone and i cannot just respond because----- my index fingers are big and i might punch the wrong keys.
it is so hot here, even this morning, and humidity is always so high that we literally sweat upon waking up.

hello, Miss Jabo, how are you?
i missed this site that i wanted to just log in on desktop, but my work hindered me from doing so.
i miss many mylotters here, and i am now trying to communicate back to them.

thank you. my health seems to be stagnant- not improving, but not deteriorating too. i have bouts of allergic rhinitis due to the erratic climate, and sometimes, i feel so exhausted climbing up and down our school. my next check-up will be on the 16th of this month and hopefully, the INR will be normal again
