My time back in the US after the Covid lockdowns and flight restrictions. I was finally able to get some medical done back in July and August and return to the Philippines.
I returned to the US in February in much pain. I had plans to take care of some more pressing health issues in February but I got Covid within a few days of my arrival to Palo Alto Calif. I had just completed all my evaluations and got my clearances to get things taken care of. But with my health issue everything got pushed out several weeks longer than what was planned. So I got a strong pain relief rx to hold me over that I could not get back in the Philippines when I was there. That was a life saver. But now I'm in a holding pattern until March 31st. At that time I’ll start 4 weeks of procedures to resolve my issues at hand.
I decided to use this time to exercise more and focus more on a healthy diet. Even with the rain I find a way to endure it and get out and exercise when it's not so heavy. I've basically gone on a total improve my health venture. I lost 12 lbs the first month. im shooting for another 12 this month. I hope to keep that trend going.
Thankfully after all these years I have a few friends to offer support that are still in California. Im down to just a single family member. The few others are on their own trip and that's ok. Everyone has their own shit to deal with I guess.
I'm now at the age where it's most important to make sure I have people I can trust and depend on should I ever need assistance as I am disabled. I have a Home and a Partner who is very kind. She’s amazing. My insurances are in place and solid. I'll need to get a long term health policy when I return to the Philippines. I honestly dont know if I should make the Philippines a long term plan or shoot back to the US full time in the near future? My concern about life in the US full time is the cost of living. Aside from that it does offer the healthcare I need. Life is good but it's definitely challenging at times. Each day is a Gift. Eat taco's.
