Day 4 - Sunday, March 25
I was about to go home! Pain went up to 5/10. Still okay, but whew!
Nadene processed my papers, I paid 135php for miscellaneous. Intellicare paid about 100k while Philhealth covered almost 30k of my hospital bills. I praise God for HMOs.

Herald drove me home, with our friend Dioswa. I really thanked the Lord! I had everything I needed from start to end of my hospitalization. Nanay cooked pancit for my friends while my sister made them corn shake.
Pain left my throat and I managed to have a good night sleep. I got 3 meds left: antibiotic for 5 more days every 12 hours, biogesic for 2 more days every 6 hours and pain killer for 2 more days.
The meds were not that expensive: antibiotic may cost 42-43php if branded, I bought the generic co-amoxiclav and paid only 32php per tablet. Biogesic is only 4php each. Pain killer if branded is 14php, I bought the generic one again, only 8php each. This is also the reason why I was okay to stay in the hospital, they cover the medicines. Outpatients like me now have to buy out of my own pocket. Ouch! Yet, I wanted to go home already haha! I missed my family. Also, I wanted to wear something comfy, not the hospital gown. I brought only 2 pairs of clothes, I was not prepared to get confined, that's why. But I still praise God because the hospital gown were being replaced daily in St. Lukes. Towels, soap, everything was provided. I have my own refrigerator, there is a microwave oven, pitcher was also provided, daily toilet paper, etc. If you have HMO, I highly recommend St. Lukes! I think there's a branch in BGC as well.

I was expecting that the pain would completely disappear in 2 days because the pain killer was only up to two days... I was wrong...
