Last Saturday , my husband experienced an eye swelling that makes me worried an anxious. He woke up Saturday morning with that condition already. His eyes were only seeing white colors like clouds and only shadows that makes me in panic mode because having an eye defect is not good especially when you are working and also in driving.
This is not the first time that he experienced that. He already experienced that before we met but it getting more worst up to now. When we were staying in Manila I always go after him everytime he went to the opthalmologist to make sure that I also understand what the doctor said. The doctor gave some prescription which is the artificial tears and a medicine for the eye , I no longer remember what's the use of that. After taking the medication , his eye will turn to normal like nothing happened.
His condition occurs every year. It was during September and the doctor said it was a seasonal and he can't figure out the exact condition of my husband's eye. He said maybe it's because of the weather but he can't assured it.
Year 2019 when he experienced that condition again and he only see white colors like clouds again. I am here in the province that time and we decided to find an opthalmologist here and our relatives recommend a doctor in Gapan City. We went there and the doctor checked his eyes. The doctor cant determine hos eye condition and she said my husband need an eye xray if the medicine that she prescribed to my husband didn't give any cure or effect.
The only explanation I remember by the doctor is that the reason why he only see white colors was because the water in his eyes became white instead of being translucent and she added that this condition happened because the body has some infection and the eye was reacting to that infection. We really have no idea if he has some infection in the body as he never get ill in that moment. My husband undergo on a urine examination but it was normal and he has no infection.
The ophthalmologist gave a two medicine to him and after taking it a couple of days his eyes went to normal and because of that we didn't go for an eye xray anymore.
Then after 2 years , just this Saturday , his condition came back again and it became worst because his eye were already swelling. It was reddish like he has a sore eyes and the tears keep falling on his eyes. Gladly , the number of the secretary of the opthalmologist was still there in my husbands mobile phone. I contacted the opthalmologist and I asked if we can go there by Monday but unfortunately the slots for check up are full so I have no choice but to book an appointment by Tuesday. Nowadays you need to set an appointment before you go on a clinic to prevent the crowded area.
For the mean time I find an alternative way to ease the pain that my husband felt. I looked for an optometrist even if I know that they cannot figure out the true condition of my husband's eye. I just find an optometrist just for the prescription of eye drops that can used to ease the pain of my husband's eye.
Yesterday , he went to Gapan City for a check up and like the last check up he had 2 years ago he requested for an eye xray in one of the hospital in Cabanatuan and also gave him an eye drop. I contacted the hospital for the schedule of the eye xray and I asked if I can choose Saturday because it was my husband's rest day. The secretary confirm it and said that he needs a creatinine test before going to the hospital and also CSF so that the payment will be covered by Philheath.
Early this morning he went to the clinic for creatinine test and then I thought about the Philheath because he just back to work last December 2020 and to be able to use the Philheath , it needs a contribution for 9 months. The secretary told me to update the category and the payment to be able to use the Philheath.
I search some of the accredited Philheath partners here and luckily I find out that I can pay the 3 months in our Local Government Unit to be able to use and qualified the Philheath of my husband. As I am typing this , I had an anxiety thinking about those things as I don't want to disturb my husband in his work. I want to settle the payment on Philheath now but who's gonna look after the kids. This is not the article I will make today but because of anxiety I can't think of any single words on the topic for this day.
