DIARY GAME SEASON 3: I TOOK MY MOM TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL CHECK UP TODAY THURSDAY 5/5/2022
Introduction
Greetings to you all. Hope you all are having a great time steeming, I sure am. It's @luchyl and I'm back again to share my diary game; taking mom for her medical check up at Fruitful Hill Heart Centre located at River Layout, Aba.
Mom is a high BP patient and she has been on medication but few months ago, she started having pulse related issues, her pulse beat was fast and high so I had to take her to the doctor for more tests and examinations. It was discovered that she had hypertensive heart disease with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and biventricular diastolic dysfunction and her cholesterol level was a bit high.
So since then she's been going for check up every two weeks.
Morning
Like I always do, woke up around 5am, had a quite time with my creator after which I turned the radio on to listen to the day's news. And from the news I got the information about the public holiday declared by the state government today to enable people go out and do voters card registration.
On hearing that I had to put a call to the doctor to know if he would be at the clinic to which he affirmed. I also called my mom to prepare and wait for me.
I prepared peppersoup yam for her because it's one of her favorite foods, got ready and left to pick her up.
On our way to the hospital
We got to the hospital in no time, and luckily there were few people there, our number was 6.
Waiting for our turn at the reception.
After a short while, the doctor started attending to patients, and after about one hour it got to our turn.
When we got in the doctor asked her several questions to ascertain if there had been any improvement on her health from the last visit or complaints to which she gave her reply, after that he checked her BP and Pulse rate. The result showed a slight increase and he advised her to always do a routine check of her BP and Pulse rate, and inform him, this he said will help him monitor her before her next check up date which is one month from today. He also told her to engage in little exercises like strolling a short distance, this will help relieve the tensions in the heart and muscles, and most importantly to rest too.
He later gave her drug prescription. We made payment and left for home.
While we left the clinic, I suggested that she stroll the little distance to the main road to which she agreed.

Afternoon
When we got home, I told her to rest for a while. Afterwards, I served her the peppersoup yam I prepared, while I served dad beans and plantain porridge. After eating, she took her medicine for the afternoon.
I also had a taste of the yam too 😋.
She and dad started chatting and I opted for a little nap because I was a bit tired, but not without reminding her of the need to rest.
After my nap, I spent some time with them, surfed the net, and at the same time replying to some of my clients enquiries.
Evening
My next destination was church for May devotion and Choir practice.
The devotion started around 5:10pm and ended around 6:55pm
After that, it was choir practice which lasted for an hour because it was getting dark coupled with the current situation of insecurities in the city.
I got home, had my bath, had my dinner and started making this post.
I plan on going to bed early because I dont feel too strong.
So this is how my day went.
Thank you for taking out time to read my post and your prayers for mom's quick recovery would be highly appreciated. God bless you all.

@luchyl hi,
This post reminds me of the stress i passed through when my Mum suffered cardiovascular issues namely: heart inflammation and heart failure last year coupled with pneumonia. Chei, its not easy to care for aged ones. But its a must. Though we are not pleading that we suffer such during old age, yet, as far as we cared for our parents, our children will do likewise for us. Weldone. But, i hope you didnt finish the yam peppersoup?
I wish your mum speedy recovery, keep being a great daughter. Good luck.
Amen to your prayer. I appreciate.
