A kind of challenge that comes so sudden Article # 188 April 21, 2023 Hello readers and friends! How are you all guys? I hope everyone did have a good time and fulfilling on all of their desires in life. It's been a long week since my last posted article. I didn't have a chance to visit others' write-ups or replying all your comments. I appreciated all your efforts guys and I thank you for all of that from the bottom of my heart. My week was not certainly good because of my hectic days of work and I need to double my efforts to finish all of the necessary things not only at work but also at home. *A few months ago, last December when my partner started feeling uncomfortable with his stomach when he gets full after a meal. He vomited and have a cold sweat turns out into heartburn. I thought it was only normal because of stress at work and lack of rest. Every time we eat, he feels irritated in his stomach and bloated. I started worrying about his condition but he just always say that his okay. of course, as his partner, I cannot let it slide not to do something for him.* *Yesterday his not feeling well again and I forced him to see a doctor. I was really worried, I know most wives can relate to my feelings. We went to the hospital but unfortunately, the clinic was already closed we arrived at 1 pm but their clinic hours were 9 am-11 am.*

When we got home, I visited their website and got a booking for today's appointment with the doctor. I'm glad my request was granted.

We immediately went to the clinic at 9 am *today. While waiting for the doctor, :-) we got a selfie💕*

We looked fine in that picture but deep inside, my heart beats so fast because of nervousness. I don't want him to see my weakness and worries because I know he also feels the same and he gets strength from me. A few minutes later the doctor finally arrived.

The doctor examined his stomach and diagnosed him with GERD.

The doctor said my partner needs to undergo a laboratory test.

The doctor gave us also a resit about the medicines to take for HYPERACIDITY.

My partner has also hypertension five years ago since he was diagnosed. After our check-up, I went to the pharmacy to buy his medicines but I am so sad because of the price and it is quite expensive I only bought only 4 instead of 14 capsules and 18 pcs instead of 30. And 10 pcs instead of 200 tablets for his maintenance. But it's okay I will buy more when we get our salary this week. I don't have enough money and tomorrow we have to go to the laboratory for the test. I don't know what to do, but I have to find ways for the sake of my partner. I tried to borrow from our singking fund at our workplace and gladly, I can have money for tomorrow. I know God gave me this challenge to make us stronger and test our faith in Him. I always pray to God and thank him for whatever challenges come in our life because I know everything has a purpose and it is happen for a reason. I hope and pray that tomorrow will have blessings and good results for everything. Thank you my virtual friends❤
