D/20091023/0000 - NUH Clinic D

First medical appointment after my ORD. Also the first appointment after my 2 infusion. Each infusion costs roughly $8,000. Expensive but necessary, wouldnt want to lose one or both kidney so soon do we?

I was told to come 2 hours earlier by the ward for blood/urine test. I usually do the test 3 to a week earlier but hey they told me to come 2 hours earlier before the appointment and so I did. Which turn out that there isnt enough time for them to process it and by end of appointment I dont know the results of the test. What a waste of time and money doing the test. Idiots.

My doctor told me my protein level leakage is back to normal after years of losing more than usual. 2 to 3 times more than usual and was back to normal after just the first infusion. Well, for an $8k medication, who doesnt expect some improvements.

After my appointment my brother fetch me back and we visited our old neighbourhood ;  Clementi Street area. Oh how the place has changed. It look so cool now with pubs around. Only a handful of shops from when I stayed there remained. When going home, my brother's van had a flat tire. Argh. I had to help to change it. Tiring.

Think thats all. Waiting for next appointment to see how I am doing as when I had the infusion, it was fasting month and not much crap entered me :)
