Insulted while sick
Went to see a doctor today with KL. I’ve been coughing for over a week and KL have had the flu and cough for over a month.
Turns out, we had a viral infection. Weirdest part was, she prescribed Ventolin (inhaler for asthma) to us. It helped me with breathing better but, I’m still coughing badly at bedtime. She says, we just have to let it run its course.
I have been sleeping badly the last 2 nights due to the coughing fit. I cough so hard I started perspiring. The night before, I got out of bed to air myself in the living room and fell asleep there. Looked like I was kicked out of the room. Hah! KL thought I looked damn comfortable on the sofa bed.
Anyway, since we were at the doctor’s, KL asked to do a regular health check. Doctor suggested that he do his blood test first. I asked if I needed one since I’m such high risk in Diabetes. In addition, I said that might as well check if I healthy in case I get pregnant.
She asked if I was planning for a child. I said, “No, but if I get pregnant then I want to know that I am healthy for it.” How come it can’t be natural? As in, if I get pregnant, then Yeah. Otherwise, why must it be always planned? I know a lot of people planned to have kids and do all sorts of things to try to get pregnant. But is it not okay to just have it naturally?
Have we come to the stage where we have to control all things? Says me - the control freak.
I’m not sure if KL is freaked out about my conversation with the doctor. He is not comfortable in talking about babies and me getting pregnant.
So, anyway, my blood test also includes, Hep B+C, Syphillis, HIV, Rubella, VZV, Vit D serology. I don’t know if I should feel insulted or not.
I have 2 lines more on the form than KL. How come he don’t have to be tested for those? If anything, he would be the source of infection. NOT FAIR!!
