This week, I am grateful for feeling better.

For the first time this week, I am finally beginning to feel better. I can finally sit, stand, and move without seeming like a 70-year-old. I am also grateful for the antibiotics that treated my infection. Across the Pacific, after learning of my horrendous and embarrassing case of hemorrhoids, my mom pushed me to see a doctor but I didn’t. I’ve been to enough doctors to last me a lifetime and there was no way I’m going to a hospital in China. Who know what they’ll do to me there. Besides, after getting so many labs done before I left the U.S., I think I know my body well enough to detect an infection. After my aunt bought me some over-the-counter herbal antibiotics on Saturday and after two doses, I am finally beginning to feel better.
