New Doctor, New Medications

I went to San Mateo medical Center at Ampid last October 14th. I met Dr. Julie Ann Figuracion, an Internal Medicine Specialist. I have a chronic cough which she thinks to be allergic rhinitis and bronchitis. I also showed her last year's lipid tests and x-rays. She ordered new updated tests for later. These are my new medications per the doctors prescription. List of Newly prescribed drugs from Dr. Julie Ann Figuracion. 1) Zykast (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) 10 mg/5 mg For my allergic rhinitis. 2) Nebilet 5 mg tablets For my hypertension. In addition to losartan potassium and amlodipine. 3) Amlodipine Losartan Potassium 5 mg/ 50 mg For my hypertension. 4) Acetylcysteine powder 600 mg For my cough and phlegm. To be prepared in a glass of water. 5) Cefixime 200 mg For anti bacteria infections, antibiotic. Not to be used for colds and flu. I feel great with Zykast, the anti allergy medication. One pill and I slept for more than 9 hour

Ubuntu 20th Year Yay!

I began my Ubuntu use with Edgy Eft oh that's 6.10 which I quickly upgraded to 7.04 Feisty Fawn. I am using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat.

Lost My Mojo, Found My Mojo

I've been coughing the whole week. I bought Tuseran forte and Amoxicillin for the straight 7 days. It's Pneumonia. It was a toss coin on whether I should go to the doctor or just treat this on my own. I still have the sore throat and the sniffles. But generally I'm fine. Hay I'm composing my piece on a proper app. Since updating my desktop to Ubuntu 24.04 I can't get Evolution Mail to connect and authenticate with Gmail account. It is now more than a month and I guess some of the software patches that were applied did it. I started Evolution Mail and it automatically asked for my email and password, then permit Gnome to manage my messages and contacts. After that it downloaded all my emails. So this is the first one to be sent out. Hope my luck hold out.

There's A Silver Lining in All These

I don't know how to use the compose utility on Gmail. I am going back to it because I can't make Evolution Mail work now that I am on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I guess about a week of this re-training and I'll be fine. Getting back to my blog's cadence. Starting to create and do more.

Wawa Dam and San Mateo Feast Day

I spoke to Lino the other day about the pictures I sent. The Wawa Dam in Montalban came as a surprise to me because there was no marketing nor information. It was just an inaugural day press conference - a visit from the President. That was how I learned about it. Was it because the Dam was at the initiative of the former politician? This dam was built to contain the water flow every rainy season brings to the cities. In addition there was the power generation benefit to the surrounding communities. The other picture was the festival of San Mateo in Sta. Ana. It is the feast day of Our Lady of Aranzazu. Lots of bibingka and suman in the picture. I had to remind Lino about the fiesta of Dulongbayan where we lived, where we all started from.

Rolly and Happy Feast Day San Mateo

I just learned my ever loyal electrician died last Thursday, September 19th. We will miss you, Rolando Ramos, Rolly. Beloved by his wife and family, may you rest in peace. Happy Fiesta mga taga-Dulongbayan, San Mateo. I am living in another barangay but I was born there. I hope it is peaceful and dry. It always rains during the day.
