music: Learn to be Lonely - Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack
I was looking at some photos tonight, started feeling very nostalgic and then scanned some of them...
A few years ago I was still a resident in Pediatrics, and there was this little boy, called Matheus, who was 2 and half years old when I first met him. He was hospitalized since 7 months old, because he had a lung infection that led to a chronic and severe lung disease, and his family couldn't afford to take care of him at home (they needed a new house that could receive all the medical equipments he needed). He needed oxygen and physiotherapy, and it was a constant fight to make him gain weight.

Sorry, guys... I've been a little busy and upset with RL, so couldn't update anytime sooner...
I had some problems at my work, and it seems I won't have any Christmas or New Year's holidays this year.
I'm gonna work on Dec 24th (day and night), 25th (day) and 31st (night). 
I don't really like those holidays, 'cause I find them depressing, but anyway... it's a time to be with family and share hopes. I'm still waiting to see what is gonna happen the next days, though. There's a chance things will change. 
I see some dear people need prayers... Margs, Nancy, Liisa and her grandma, Sarah... you are all in my thoughts.
Going to bed now.

Music and tears...
Oct. 31st, 2005 | 12:15 am
mood: peaceful
music: Damien Rice - The Blowers Daughter
I've always been really really really close to music in general. There are very few music styles I don't like...
And even though I've listened to thousands of different songs, I don't remember of one ever making me cry. Just for the music and nothing else, you know? You start listening to it and the next thing you realise are tears falling down your cheeks.
I always thought that it was very weird and would never really happen to me... but it did, today. Here I was, checking my emails before going to bed, when started listening to this song by Damien Rice... I stopped and listened to the lyrics. Then it happened, I was crying because of a song. This song denotes so much pain in its lyrics and melody it's almost unbearable. It's so beautifuly sad... it hurts.
And yeah, I can't explain. It was not the first time I listened to this song, but tonight it was like a slap in the face. Scary. Breathtaking.

So... time for a new update.
The last 4 days I've been on meds because of my headache. It comes and goes, and I'm only taking the meds when I feel something. Yesterday was awful... I was at work and suddenly I began feeling dizzy and like throwing up, besides a tiny headache. Well, I took the meds and tried to relax, which worked for an hour. The rest of the day sucked.
Well, kinda. I had a very very very nice surprise.
I was resting to make the headache go away, and then a friend of mine came look for me. Well, she said there was someone in the hospital I *had* to see. I asked who and she told me I had to wait and follow her.
Now, for you to understand what comes next I must go back 4 years in my life, when I was a Pediatrician resident at a public hospital here in Brazil. Public hospitals in Brazil are not a very nice place to be, cos we see very humble and poor and low-educated people, that have nothing but hope that everything is gonna be ok. Hope is everything for them. And we see a lot of patients that are neurologically impaired and that will never walk or speak or even show some emotion to their families. Anyway, I was a 'freshman' (should I use the term 'freshwoman'? LOL) at residency and there was this little baby, named Jó William. He was an asfyxic baby at birth, and by the time I knew him he was about 6 months old, I guess (I'm not sure anymore). He was very impaired, and I'm not gonna write the details of his story cos it's very sad. The thing is... during my 2 years at residency at Pediatrics and before my Neonatology residency, I watched JW being hospitalized several times, and his mother was *ALWAYS* near him. She was 15 or 16 years old, his son couldn't do anything but basically breathe and she was always by his side. Her personal history was a mess, a lot of family and social problems. I could say she was on her own taking care of her baby. Well, she got close to me, and during my shifts we had long conversations which ended up on her crying and me comforting her. To make long story short, JW died during my Neo residency, it's been almost 2 years now. I never got to see his mother again.
Now back to present time... the surprise was that Fabiola (JW's mother) was at this public hospital I work now (different one from my residency), with another baby hospitalized. Her new baby (Leandro) is 1 month old and fine, btw. When I entered the nursery and saw her, I couldn't believe. We held each other for a few minutes, she told me what happened to her life the last years and was so proud to introduce me to her new baby... I'm never gonna forget it. After so much suffering she finally has the chance to be happy. It meant a lot for me seeing her like that, and seeing how happy she was for finding me there looking at Leandro. When we were saying good-bye, she asked me one last question. 'Do you think he reminds you of Jó?' I smiled and replied 'He does'. We both got tears in our eyes and said goodbye.
Maybe there's hope after all.
Liisa, take it easy and hang in there, ok?

Doctor appointment

mood: 
anxious
music: Björk - Joga
So... Today I went to the neurologist to check on those headaches of mine.
He asked 2 exams for a start and prescribed me a different medication for the pain (not strong, just different class). He also prescribed a med for the nausea I feel sometimes.
Anyway... there's a big chance this is just a migraine, but a few things make me worry about the other possibilities... I never had migraines before, the pain has lasted for days (last time went on for 6 days), it's not pulsatile, and most of the times the location is the same (left side).
I am worried, of course, but not more than I was before the appointment. I already knew what the possibilities of diagnosis are, so no big deal.
The first test is gonna take place tomorrow at noon. It's a computerized tomography of my beautiful brain.
The other one will be performed next Wednesday morning. It's an brain mapping electroencephalogram. Damn, I'll have my hair messed up with that weird thing (ewww) they use to fix the eletrodes on the scalp...
Other than all this worrying, I feel fine (tiny little headache). But I think I have a cold.
A cute pic I found...
I miss my hamsters.
Oh, good luck to Liisa on her tests... and a big hug to Margs... I'm sure you'll do great tomorrow at your mom's.
