I was surprised and a little bit alarmed when Leon showed up at my door at ten in the morning telling me I had to go to the hospital for more tests. Leon doesn't speak very much English, so all he could really do to elaborate was translate the word "liver" on his phone.
I had been stressing hard about about the medical test results for the past week, so I felt a moment of panic.
Now, as an interesting aside, I have been reading the Bible recently, and for a brief moment there was the temptation to make a promise Jesus, or "God" or whatever. God, if you get me through this I will become a devout Christian. Then at the very next moment, I thought to myself: no, that's fucking stupid and went to the hospital with Leon.
When we got to the hospital I felt quite calm, even when I noticed two stamps next to each other, in English, on my medical test results form; one in red saying "positive" and one in blue saying "negative". I guess it was something concerning my liver, and two doctors had differing opinions. Anyway, after sitting in a hospital room for five minutes, we were told that everything was okay and that I could go. *Whew*
So, even though I have a cold that I am trying to fight off, I feel GREAT. I'm relatively healthy, and I get to stay in Tongyeong! What's more is that I haven't sold my soul to Yahweh.
Unfortunately, I think this means I'll be cutting back on my drinking...cutting it back to nothing. More on this later.
