backache
I feel that i am of acceptable weight, but i feel fat. The extra weight i piled on accumulates around my stomach, making me look like Santa Claus. Maybe i am exaggerating, but i guess you do get the idea that i am not as lean and fit anymore. So thats where another one of my resolutions come in; to hopefully be able to run a marathon. I don't want to be as thin as before, but i definitely hope i would be a fitter person coming out from army.
Speaking of that, i attempted to solidify my case for ROD from the army today. I have a temporary PES E status, which means that if they discover there is nothing wrong with my heart, i have to up PES and go back to Tekong after July. I chaokenged and went for an orthopedic appointment today, in hope that i can down PES for back problems if there is nothing wrong with my heart. I do have chronic backaches, but i confess i inflated the seriousness of it. I am however, unsatisfied with the diagnosis of the specialist. He browsed through my X-ray and declared all clear for me, and that he would not need to see me again. I understand that that was the only conclusion he can draw from the X-ray. But perharps he could do more by referring me to another doctor for another procedure, like what they did for my heart, which can successfully diagnose the root of my pain. Maybe because the organisation does not deem back problems as fatal as heart problems, that they would not be required to bear any responsibilities if it does not involve a human life.
