Time-Traveling (Capítulo 2): This little Nica went to the market, this little Nica went home, and this little protagonista went to the hospital

Week 2

Why all the tomatoes? They’re the answer to the question: What did you do during Week #2?

What did I do all week long?  A bunch of pomodoros for my FSD grant proposal.

Weekend 2

I was very sick all weekend, and unfortunately, that extended into Monday. On Monday, we (FSD, Internation SOS [ISOS], my parents, and myself)* decided I should go to the hospital. I went to Hospital Metropolitano Vivian Pellas. It was very swanky and nice.

Gosh, it was my first time ever being a patient or being admitted to a hospital in my adult life.

As a toddler, there were a few emergency room visits for stitches here and there. My most notable is when I had to get stitches because I was chasing my older brother in Ikea and then ran into a glass door. I still have a noticeable scar on my forehead. Yeah, I’m kind of like Harry Potter; it’s no big deal. 😉

They even sent me home with my x-ray and ultrasound imaging! By far the best and coolest souvenir I’ve ever gotten from a hospital and abroad.

As of June 15, 2017, the day and time of this post being published, I’m well and much better.

Like Don Quijote, I also learned to value and prioritize my health a lot more than I did originally.

Notitas:

*I really didn’t want to go and wanted to wait it out. Retrospectively, I’m glad I was convinced otherwise.
