    Nice to hear then hat apple juice helps as my son loves it so less worry then..... bitaw kulba gyud lagi, I just went to doctor this morning to taking my son as he starts to cough and I have learn that Dengue is high tech already as it goes with other illness too unlike before that it dont. So doctors here always recommend for a monitored CBC test to be safe.

    As a matter of interest, how much might medical insurance cost in the Philippines? Where would you buy it?

    Phil Health-- if she is presently employed it is easily attainable. If she doesn't work she can be a self-paying member. Monthly remittance won't cost much. Tell her to visit any regional offices for more info Ian, hope this helps.

    Thank you all for your lovely posts. Mae is much better today. All the blood tests were clear, so its just a very nasty throat infection. She's on antibiotics and her cousin will stay with her for a week.

    Just makes it all the more clear I need to speed up my divorce (she left me, by the way!), and get out there as soon as my credit card allows to be with Mae at last.

    Thanks again!

    Ian

    I should not really be like this. But again, this morning, Mae asked me to call her but her phone was off at the time we agreed. Since then she has not answered her phone or any of my text messages.

    Given that last time this happened she was ill, I suppose its OK to worry. I know she loves me and she is not the kind of person to do this without a good reason. So what good reason can there be? On the other hand, what bad reason can there be? It is so hard being this far apart and I should not be so obsessed with talking to her every day - but I do enjoy it and so does she.

    She is looking for work at the moment, so is probably out and about. I just hope she does not do anything silly.

    By the way I received a lovely card from her in the post today. She sent it as a surprise - when I asked her to write she simply said she would get around to it! A lovely lady and a lovely surprise.

    Yes, its Angeles Pampanga. Not the nicest place in the world from what I've heard, but she is a sensible lady and seems to be in a nice safe job.

    Sorry to get everyone worrying with me! And sincere thanks for your kind messages.
