Dear Diary: My Little Niece is in the Hospital Again
This is my niece, the second child of my sister which is in the hospital right now because of some stomach infection brought about by eating some dirty foods. This happens because my niece is going to a public school and is exposed in many street foods that she sees that are around the school premises. The attraction to such street foods is also influenced by her classmates and other pupils and students which also could have acquired the same microbes that made my nice ill but they have a good immune system that they didn't get affected.
When I was also in school I just pick the places that I would eat from and usually I go to the same places. If I would eat at a street food which should be clean, I will choose the ones that are fried and will not dip into the communal sauce. In my neighborhood here at one time when my friendly fishball vendor was selling his food, a kid bought some fishballs and dipped it in the sauce, slurped the sauce and then dipped it again two times at the communal sauce. My friends did not see it and dipped in the same and this is where the problem begins.
Usually the foods themselves are not the dirty ones but the dust, insects, and body fluids that contaminate the foods. I am much aware of dirty things that is why I am always cleaning myself with alcohol although I admit that I over clean. So whenever we would eat, we should be always careful and choose the places that we know that are clean or at least have the history of not having many issues of cleanliness about the foods that they serve.
For choosing street foods, we must not allow our kids not to buy from them especially the our younglings that do not have still the strong stomachs that can handle a few bugs and microbes in the food. When I was in school I am always bringing my own lunch and also parents must give much food and snacks for their student children so that
they will not get attracted to some foods with questionable cleanliness.
Hope she gets better soon @cryptopie! Ive had food poisoning before and its horrible. She is really beautiful, you all have beautiful genes :).
Hopefully my niece will be out for maybe tomorrow if she responds well to the medicines. I guess that she will be taught a food lesson now by my sister >-<
Thank you @weirdheadaches , we are a bunch of butterflies haha
You could just imagine how I look if I haven't had this condition.
Yeah you can still tell looking at you and of course your heart.
Thank you Sir for your kind words and support and also about your donation yesterday for me. I am forever indebted but God himself will repay you.
God Bless you.
No debt here Sir. You are welcome.
@cryptopie I struggle to believe that you are the patient depicted in your posts. Which, there are a lot of. I am not judgmental of the patient. I do have sympathy. Your English skills and precise use of grammar however, is what does not match. You go to great lengths with these diary posts... so I do wonder... who is really behind them... and what are the true motives.
The coherence of all your posts, portrays a different entity.
Who is the actual writer of the posts?
Hi @teknow, I have visited @cryptopie a couple of times already with my wife @dandalion. Our first was exactly for this reason. To remove doubts that he is who he say he is. The second and all further visits will be as friends. I created a post about our first visit you can read about here:
https://steemit.com/steemit-help/@steemitph/the-human-behind-cryptopie-or-a-first-personal-encounter-with-another-steemian
You will see a sum of 100 SBD leaving my wallet to support him, and I will continue to support where I can. He was able to attend university as he mentioned, but was not able to finish because of the illness. We are not native speakers of English but are being taught the language in school as early as playschool. I can understand your doubts, if I am being honest, I also had doubts in the beginning.
I can accompany you to his place should you be really interested in clearing your doubts. You can reach me in discord or steemit chat using the same username.
Thank you for your reply and the post linked. I did read it.
It does however, not give definitive answers to my question.
You see, I do not doubt that the life-form in focus is in existence.
My doubts are towards who is actually behind the posts and the initiative to chronicle their existence. Seen as, they are quite successful at receiving funds.
Furthermore, for all I know, you are part of the con.
Either way, as you said, doubtfulness is reasonable.
I will refrain from conclusion. I am however, observant.
Take care.
Hi @teknow you're right. There is nothing we can say that can convince you that there's nothing fishy about what we are trying to do to support @cryptopie. I can very well be part of the con alright.
Here is a link to my linkedin account https://www.linkedin.com/in/marnny-dayao-6708342a/ I work as a junior executive in a BPO organization and have no real need to con for a few hundred dollars. You can call my organization and ask about me. In the Philippines they can be reached here: (+63) 2 333-3426.
The only way we can convince you I guess is by accompanying you at @cryptopie's place and having a conversation with him, or see him write for yourself. You can say this is not convenient, and you'll be right. What is more convenient is to cast doubts upon another human being's pain and work.
If you really read the post you'll know we only came to know about @cryptopie through someone else. So can't be part of it in the first place, can we? But you do have a point so the only way to appease your observant mind would be to visit Arnold in person.
@steemitph and @dandalion alread had been in my home.
My Grammar is noterfect and I am just using simple english. I an write and converse in English because I did stepped into College but haven't able to finish.
I do have a lot of experience social blogging and have a lot of ideas to write about and I love blogging. I blog while I am laying down all day too.
I invite you to my home if you have a doubt about me.
You have not answered the question.
You have also attempted to regress in attempt to elude.
Tell me then, while I have your attention, what are the main toxins which dialysis aims to remove?
Also, which of those toxins, is the most problematic, and the one which possesses the greatest threat to the longevity of a patient?
Hi @teknow!
I understand your doubts. We already assumed that all the kindness being shown to @ctyptopie would garner maliscious envy and so we visited him in August to show everyone who is behind his account. He is Arnold. A 30 something fellow living a pain-ridden life because of a prolonged illness no one deserves. I know him to be a very strong person as he literally wills himself to live even through so much struggles. He is a friend and you might actually become one of his friends too if you'd get to know him. If you wish to visit him, we will gladly accompany you. He will accomodate us and you might even be able to taste his mother's delicious rice cakes. We will be available anytime.
I have answered your question very well.
Dialysis removes creatinine, potassium, sodium, and other water soluble protein compounds and extra fluids.
Which toxins are problematic?
Well if creatine gets too high I get nauseated.
If potassium gets too high my heart could stop.
If phosphorus gets too high which it did for many years then my skin will itch plus my parathyroid could get hyperactive.
Longevity of the dialysis patient depends on many things. Not being able to get dialyzed fro a week or two will kill you
great reminder. It is the same way in Taiwan. Moreover, because a lot of the street vendors lack moral and only profit driven, they use materials and ingredients that shouldn't be allowed or are harmful to the human body. This is the sad truth of our society.
Are you from Taiwan @mjctraining ?
Hello from me to the Taiwanese folks out there.
Yes we must not be so attracted to street foods because we will never know what lies before us if we do buy from their foods.
Yeah man, I am from Taiwan, currently living in Canada :)
I hope she will recover well. And hopefully she learns from this and avoids that type of vendor in the future.
Thank you @thediyworld I think she will be OK now as she is in the hospital.
Good
