I’m foaming… nope, not in the mouth.
My urine is foamy again… sigh. (Apologies for the faint hearted and those with sensitivities to gross things.)
The past few days, I’ve been noticing that my urine is foamy again. This is not good news. It would have been good news if it was Joy Dishwashing Liquid (sa konting patak… mabisa pa din ang bula). But for us with kidney problems, this usually is a sign of nephritis and protein leak.
I’m blaming it on the food here in isabela. My kidneys are being punished here. It’s being tortured everyday with the slabs of meat that are always on the table. How can I refuse? The thick and juicy pieces of meat are practically jumping out from the plate straight to my mouth. I swear these evil things are still alive!
Sigh… what can I say… Isabelanos (is that what we’re called?) are meat-eaters. They can devour a whole lechong baka if given a chance. So you can just imagine the torture and the punishment that my kidneys underwent.
Low protein diet… yeah right!
I’m going to my nephro (mommy doctor from NKI) next week. I am pretty sure that I will hear these words again… “Hija, watch your diet.”
But I will tell her the truth, she has to know… there are evil things in isabela. Slabs of meat come alive here, and makes their way into our mouths, forcing themselves into people’s throats and stomachs. Tsk tsk… .those evil things.
Times like these? Who you gonna call? Ghost busters! Tarantaran… Tarantaran… who you gonna call?... (fading)
On a serious note, your prayers are again needed. Let’s all hope that the ghost busters do their work and bust that protein leak and hematuria (blood) away from my urine. I’ve been sick the past days – muscles hurting, head aches, dizziness. I hope this is nothing. Salamat uli!
