#ulog 34: Spent the day at the Hospital

Funny how the reality of growing old hits you in the face.

This morning me and my long-time friend who I have known since elementary had a date. But unlike the previous dates we have had that involves foodtrip, going to the cinema and shopping, today's different.

Why was it any different?

First was our rendezvous. It was not at the mall, the park or any "date-able" place. But rather at the hospital. Yup, spent a day at the hospital.

Glad to have her with me as she scheduled me with her to the doctor, her doctor actually. It was my first time to have a check up with her doctor, and she was so insisted I should have a second opinion. And so it is.

It didn't really take long for our turn. But as we were waiting, we were talking about growing, aging, life.

It feels a little strange as I repeat in my mind the conversation we had. It was very different. No more petty gossipping on whose batchmate is with whom, or the funny assessment on the pictures posted by fellow batchmates over at social media. No planning yet on where to go next for the next vacation, or the latest trend there is on gadget or fashion. Our conversation pretty much revolved around the question "how are you?"

It somehow feels good to know to have a friend be with me during this moment of sickness. And I feel good to be with her too on her journey to better health.

I really hope for the time to come that no one will say, "I am sick!"

Thanks for reading my #ulog for today.
