While Waiting in Line, I Stepped Aside to have a Cold Lemon Tea to Beat the Heat

Hello everyone! How are you today? It's been more than a week the last time I posted. I had my medical check-up regarding my Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS for short.

Last Monday I had my check up at public hospital, I started to line up to get my number at 11 o clock in the morning. So expected the patients in government hospital are very crowded. It was almost lunch time but the staff in the Out Patient Department announces that those patients for Ob-gyne will come back after lunch since the doctor is having an emergency cesarian.
So I decided to step a bit, while walking a small cafe catches my eyes-its Don Macchiatos. To ease the boredom and hunger I ordered their signature lemon drinks with mango since the day is very hot, I want cold drinks and luckily they had new cooked German bread and still hot, so I bought and paired with my lemon tea.

The design of their cover is unique, they put message on top of it from a bible verse. My order has the verse from John 3:16 "Unconditional Love". This addition not only enhances the message of the design but also gives it a deeper spiritual remains, reminding viewers of the foundation of true love. For every drink the customer orders they put different verse and placed on the cup. The owner of the cafe is very thoughtful, this kind of message and verse will lift up someone whose down, having hardships in life.

I felt refreshed and relaxed after having cold drinks and ready to face the doctor. At 1:30 pm, finally my named was called I told the doctor about my condition and what I feel. The doctor give me instructions, requesting to have CBC and urinalysis to be checked. So I went to laboratory section and follow their procedure. I need to wait another 2 hours for the result of my lab test. I wait in the waiting area, chit chat with other patients and browsing social media platform to ease the boredom.

At 4 pm I went back to laboratory hoping my lab test is done. So, when I asked the staff my result is done and I went back to the doctor and she read the results. I listened to her carefully, the doctor told me that I need to undergo blood transfusion because my hemoglobin is only 7.6, she gives me instructions and I follow all the procedures so that I can have blood transfusion for the next day.

That's it for today's blog. Thank you in advance for reading my post.
