Tell Your Story #20 - My Monthly Check Up
Greetings to all my ladies friends in steemit! I may not know you one by one but I will check everyone as lo g as I have enough time. I hope everything are okay to all of us.
I woke up early due to my appointment I got from the health department in this place for my monthly monitoring period about my hypertension and diabetes. I got free insurance under my boss so it is easy for me to gain access about my health and insurance benefits from this country.
The other day I felt numbness and lost my strength. I called for my appointment and they grant it to me yesterday. I think it was just an overthinking drown me to bad condition but I am grateful that I conquered my ill feelings turning it down and won over my fears. Gladly waking up earlier yesterday. I was fasting, not eating from the other night until morning.
At dawn, I made cleansing my body and soul, prayers and taking a bath with salt melted into the water and cleanse myself after my regular way of taking my shower. Then I prayed again, wishing for my life, my family and for everyone.
Ready to go and my hair was still wet.
Feeding my birds Collared pigeon first. I been feeding them since 2017.. They were only 6 birds and now 20 kilos of wheat is not enough for 1 month.
Taking selfie infront of the house before leaving. I got shadow photography as I was walking to western part direction. Photo with niqab.
I started walking at 7:45 and I reached 8:15 am.
I got into the information desk for more details of my appointment. The nurses check my blood and blood pressure too angel gave me doctor in room #7
Thanks God everything is normal but I need the maintainance medication.
Sitting down infringe of the doctor's room waiting for my turned. Enjoyed taking picture around secretly. The hospital is well organized .
I got my slot and the doctor said that my condition is normal and need to continue good sleep and regular walking aside from working. Walking under the heat of the sun early in the morning could help regulate our blood and immune system as well. I lost 5 kilos of my weight too. So what I did last few days have a good result so I need to keep on going to my goals. Self- care and focus on positive motivation is needed to maintain harmonious healthy well- being.
After giving me prescriptions, I went to the pharmacist inside and she welcomed me with a beautiful smile. She told me that she likes my cap and I looked pretty. She is so entertaining woman and never got boring doing her job. She was so beautiful.
This is the hospital building made of fiber glass wall.
If there are a lot of people around I have to cover my face even inside the hospital. I just removed it when no one around me for selfie. At this moment I took this its the reflection of myself.. To respect tradition and culture of Saudi Arabia, I follow the rules and dress code to gain respect from people around me especially the male individual.
These are my medicine for two months for free only. Thanks God!
I am 54 years old. My life have a lot of drama but I made it through. It's time to be in love for myself . I know @wakeupkitty will agree with this words. And I got also many inspiring words to uplift me and gave me motivation. Let it be and turn myself motivated. I need to be happy and they will be happy too.
I went home at 11:30 am and started my work at home . I cooked their foods and took a little time sleeping. When I woke up my boss are still sleeping. I cleaned downstairs and I did it quickly. I was in good condition unlike the other day. I was not yet taking the medicine but I felt better already. It's the people who gave good attention and smile in the hospital and some of my friends online called and message me. I also got news from my family that they were in good shape as they visited the graveyard of our beloved family. I missed them all and maybe , I was just feeling weaked thinking about my family in heaven. I thought that when they were alive, they might call me like before.
That's all for today and more stories to come next time.
Inviting @me2selah, @jurich60 and @sarimanok to join me here.
Thank you #steem of ladies for verifying me as someone from #ksa.
Congratulations with your weight loss my dear friend. I am proud of you, well done! It is impirtant to reduce weight to feel better and it helps fighting diabetes as well.
Due to weight loss you might feel a bit tired as well because fat cells store tixic and that will be set free. Drink enough to flush it out, take the vitamins and catch enough sleep. Women should sleep 10+ hours to be healthy (I lack that as well) but a nap at daytime might help you (I wish we had that habit here too).
For sure it helps if people are kind and the lady in the pharmacy sounds like a sweetheart the way you describe her.
I like your hat as well. 🤩
Be careful with all those pigeons they can affect your health in a bad way. Count all the blessings you wrote about today it's great to fall asleep with a smile.
A warm embrace to you.
🤗🍀♥️

I am so grateful with all your reminders my dear. I got your idea before I sleep. I remember you who always advice me to give time for myself. So i tried.
The pharmacist talked a lot about me and told me to remove my niqab to see me . the old man at my back got mad why she talked a lot. I told the man, don't get angry her hands arevworking with the computer about my medicine. Hahahaha

Keep trying my dear it's important to feel good about yourself and stay healthy. I know it's hard especially if you are raised to always serve others and never ask anytging for yourself. I deal with the same problem. If you always ready to help out no one cares how you feel and the'll see "no need to worry about her, she always finds a way". (we do because no one else will and we can only trust on us).
Let's focus on the unexpected friendly gestures warming our hearts.
Men rarely multitask if the hands work there's nothing wrong with a chat plus it's part of customer service. I never return to a place where I am treated like a number or am taken for granted. I rather travel 2 hours or order abroad.
🍀♥️🤗
You inspired me all the time , I will and do what is better.
