Daddy's tummy is unwell

Its has been a quiet weekend as Daddy got a stomach bug during the week - prime suspect is the chili con carne  from the staff canteen.   Unfortunately it has dragged on, and for most of Saturday I felt it prudent to stay within a ten-second dash of the washlet.   (what a wonderful invention!).    Also Im still shaking a chest and sinus infection from the previous weeks...

We all continue to enjoy good health since we arrived  in Hong Kong.  But I do find it striking the number of minor stomach upsets and respiratory tract infections we have had since arriving.

In fact, statistically speaking, our single most popular family activity in the weekend has been to go to the hospital.  For one reason or other Hannah, Rika and myself have all had to make many visits over the last few months.   Fortunately all for minor ailments of routine things like inoculations. 

There is a good hospital just down the road which is popular with the Japanese community.   All major health insurance cards accepted!

I got treatment for glaucoma that was diagnosed in Japan last year, and to renew my expensive drug prescription.  After a few expensive tests they concluded that I don't have glaucoma after all and can stop taking the expensive eyedrops!  ("the Japanese are very conservative you know!").  But just to be sure they recommend more expensive tests later in the year....

We have a family loyalty card at the hospital and have quickly filled it up.  Two more visits and I get a free endoscopy!
