It is quite hotter today compared to yesteryears & I am always ready whether I like it or not anyway
The month of March is nearing to end and I had been experiencing a change in temperatures, this is one of the days that are hotter/drier, it is said in the news that we can experience drought this year and maybe with stronger Typhoons in between. The climate change is affecting my country like any other country from one way or another and the floods are higher now because our house hasn't experienced flooding before but now we belong to the fewer houses that gets flooded here in my Barrio because our house is very old already. Recently, (A few years ago) the drainage system was elevated (stupid idea) along with the elevated road which is great because it will not get flooded. But what was wrong is that they (the Barrio officials) had made the bottom of the drainage canal into a concrete. Now the extra water there couldn't drain down to the ground and it effectively cannot do its job anymore. The result now is that even the elevated road would get flooded as well whenever it would rain heavily in our barrio. It had gone useless and I hope that our new Barrio captain would revise its design because it is contributing flood particularly in the inside of our house.
For this another few months of hot season, I would always welcome it because it is quite hard for me to endure cooler months which in my opinion dominates the temperatures here in my country. It is because when the rainy season comes, it will also change the temperatures into a much cooler degree. I can tolerate it but I hate the rainy season because it would just always comes with inconveniences like problems with transportation when it is flooding to the route where I get my dialysis treatments and so we would ask the Barrio secretary to use the Barrio ambulance so that I can be able to live for another day. That is why it is also my plan to purchase a decent vehicle which can get me to and from my destination of choice may it be flooding high or not. It is just funny to think about buying a car that I can never drive and at the mercy of a mechanic which sometimes breaks the engine more than fixing it and also not prioritizing the aesthetic/image of the vehicle. Hmmn, maybe you know whom I am talking about here. So with that aspect of my life, it is also a hard thing for me to decide whether if I would buy a sensible car especially if when my father cannot drive me anymore because I was also thinking about that too all the time. I might as well live nearer to my dialysis center than being transported by an ambulance three times per week. So as you can see my future really is bleak and will be harder if one or both of my parents will not be able to assist me anymore. However I am trusting God for what he can do for me and my parents and maybe it will not be as hard as I was thinking it to be, God has mercy on me.
On my topic for today, what is good is that it is more pleasurable to take some shower in the bathroom particularly in the morning prior to my dialysis treatment session. However I still have to use the warm compress which is just a fashioned bag of hot water in a plastic bag with its top securely knotted and then placed inside a thin cloth. I am using a baby pillow case for the purpose and I would damp it to my feet so that they would warm-up again. I would also apply warm compress to my buttocks and back area so that any itch coming from the skin in those places would be killed because it is hard to have an itchy part of the skin while being treated with dialysis as I cannot move much my body in the process. That is my technique to be comfortable with my skin, applying not warm but a hot compress to my parts of the skin that can possibly develop itchiness aside from warming-up my feet and hand after a morning shower.
I can never be comfortable with the two seasons in my country, maybe it is just normal and we can never do anything about it for the reason that if it is hot I want it cool and if it is cool I want it hot, always wanting what is not because we cannot get a mix of the two except in that short moment of mixing temperatures of hot and cold between after a whole day of hotness and the impending thunderstorm carrying winds and then rain and it is just pleasurable to experience which rarely comes. Be that as it may, I will have no choice but to cope and hope that someday I will be in a much comfortable situation where I will not worry about these things which comes with the weather anymore.
