HOLIDAY STRESS

Two weeks ago, i got a big scare from the doctor.... i went to see an EENT due to several mouth sores.... at first i thought it wasn't a big deal, i'm used to having mouth sores bec i used to wear braces however, this time i had 10 all over my mouth, so when i saw the doctor, he too was alarmed and gave me antibiotics and stuff... here's the thing, if in case after the medication, the sores haven't completely healed or if there's no development i would have to go through several tests to check what's wrong because according to him, mouth sores are sometimes symptoms that there's a major problem in my immune system... to make the story short, worse scenario could be a symptom of cancer of something as heavy as that.... you could just imagine how I felt when i heard those words from the doctor. The first thing that entered my mind was my little Julia.... right then and there i told myself i cant get sick bec i have a little girl who's waiting for me at home, a little princess who loves to be cuddled and tickled before going to sleep, a little girl who kisses you from time to time out of the blue.... who follows or should i say ran after you if she catches you leaving the house without her....

For almost a week, i was literally on my toes, hoping and praying that these said mouth sores are just caused by stressing over the holidays... I swear, now more than ever, i've learned to value my health... now i make it a point to sleep at least 5 or 6 hrs a day, drink vitamins and guess what i have decided to trade my hot cup of coffee to a cold glass of non-fat milk every night

Good thing the nouth sores are now gone... and that all these were caused by stressing over the holidays and the financial stuff.

One lesson I've learned is that i should take it easy and not worry too much abt the financial aspect of life bec at the end of the day, what really matters is that you're in good health and have time with the people you love.

And of course, not to stress too much over the holidays... because Holidays are meant to be enjoyed !!!!
