I took a master health
checkup two days back in a clinic close to our house and suppose to find out that
almost everything is normal except slightly increase in blood sugar and
indication of BP (blood pressure) in ECG. Though the results are not
unfavorable, I had tough time going through one of the test (abdominal ultrasonography)
to which I was instructed to drink plenty of water until my tank get full. It wasn’t
difficult actually to drink more water, but to control without passing urine until
the test complete was quite a struggle and terrible task.
I drank about 1.5
liters of water an hour before we are suppose to be there and as soon we enter
the clinic, the bladder began to urge for a release but there was no symptom of
call for the test. We waited for half an hour; the receptionist doesn’t have an
answer whereas only saying doctor will come soon… wait for five minutes. There were
two more five minutes gone and the doctor hadn’t arrived. I was going through
severe trouble in bladder or abdomen and don’t want to take the risk of mess up
with pants. It was a moment I couldn’t think of anything, lying on the bed next
to the scan instrument, the attendant asked to think about what I like more (to
divert the pissing thought)… I could
only say the hell!
It was I who want
to take the master checkup to confirm everything is fine on basic terms of
health (dealing with MD is a different matter), it’s been a year and a half I took
a similar one, which confess the diabetes and I know someone who is in sitting
position always could invite side effects and with the aid of diabetes anything
is possible. I am trying my best in controlling sugar (don’t believe him, he
ate half a cup of palkova - a sweet made of milk and sugar - two days early to
test) and was regular with medicine and physiotherapy seems to cause an effect only
to sustain.
The abdomen scan
doesn’t last more than five minutes but I was going through immense pressure
enduring urine and I was only back to normal with everlasting pissing. Sigh! Later
I went taking chest X-ray and ECG and following a meeting with doctor and physical
exam, I was advised on certain terms to follow and regular check with BP as he
find it abnormal. I could only think it is because of intense pressure I went
through the abdomen scan had resulted in blood pressure and a mild symptom in
ECG. I know it was worth going through the trouble but I don’t know whom to
blame - the doctor who came late or I drink water early - anyhow there wasn’t
any problem gracefully. J
My goodness I can't imagine drinking that much water. I can see why you would have been miserable. Thankfully it's over :)
ReplyDeleteglad you survived it! what a trial - and very painful, too.
ReplyDeletehmmm... blame both.. the doc who came late and you knowing that late arrival is common in our clinics and you were already prepared :)
ReplyDeletegood that its over now :) tc
I understand you. Even I done this scan and this wait is unbearable.
ReplyDeleteFor the same reason I always detest this test:(
ReplyDeleteMy bladder is harsh on me sometimes, I can just feel it being ready after a glass of water :-)
ReplyDeleteHigh blood sugar shows that you are a true Indian LoL. Jai Hind!
1.5 Liters of water?? I sometimes drink only that much for the entire day! Good to know that the results were favorable.

ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness... I can only imagine going through that kind of pain --not getting to go to the bathroom... Gads! It's no wonder that your BP was higher... Mine would be SKY high by that time.. Bless your heart.... I know you are glad it is over...
ReplyDeletePrayers for you.. I lost a good friend this week--not to MD, but to MS...
