Day 1688 - Let's do it!

Tuesday September 19, 2017

I had everything figured out, I had called Pronokal, got their new address, asked for a new doctor (the old Dr. I used to go to, didn't answered my call, and maybe there was a reason and maybe it would be good to change doctor) got her address, asked for a loan to an acquaintance and it was all done. 

I was ready to got at it one more time. 

With the best intentions, I went out with my best attitude and happy for my decision. 

I got to my appointment at 1:00 o clock in the afternoon. I patiently waited for ten minutes while I looked at my profile folder from four years ago. Then I realized I did not took the complete blood analysis the doctors usually ask for. 
Damn! I have to take a blood sample. I HATE those. Not because of needles, but because I know, that like a test, I would fail on an EPIC way. It gives me the sensation I'm being judged (a stupid sensation I know, but I feel people are always judging me) but I know I would have to do it. So I put that aside, made my peace with it and waited for my turn. 

I entered the consulting room. She was so polite, we started our introductions, and then. 

EARTHQUAKE!

We got out -thank GOD it was a house and not a building- I swear, as I got out and saw the cars moving back and forth endlessly, the world was coming to an end. And my one and only thought was: 

"So, this is it. I'm gonna die. I'm going to die..FAT!"

Yes I know, as crazy as it sounds, that was my thought that very moment. 

Fat had officially was declared the ruler of my life. 

So, as every time we have an earthquake here as soon as it ends, we call our loved ones, check they are OK and we go on with our lives, I entered again to the consulting room and we went thru the appointment fast. We wanted to go and see our families. 

The Doctor was so understanding and she told me she wouldn't charge me at all, because she knows how expensive it could be. Also, she said she would suspend the medicine I was taking for the last years (Victoza Cost: 166 USD) which will also help on my monthly expenses. 

I wanted to go that same day to Pronokal and get everything ready to start on Thursday, but unfortunately, the damage the earthquake did was immense as you should know. Everything was closed and evacuated, so I had to postpone it until Friday. 

Friday I wen running to Pronokal offices, and got my stash, for 6 weeks because I live far away, so I wanted to avoid those roads at least for a month an a half.  I knew it would be expensive, but not $1,350.00 USD. 
I know it's expensive, but sincerely, I'm worth it. all the way. 

Got 5 products (the ones I am sure I will like) put everything on my HUGE suitcase and left. 

That's it. I was ready to do it.
