Day 13 Chemo 2. Sun. 08/22/2017 8:27PM
What a Wonderful Day!!!
Everyone was in the good mood, getting ready and fired up for whatever responsibilities we would be facing today. My sister-in-law Lea was ready for her lab exam, so as Sinead for her CBC (Complete Blood Count) as she would be accompanying her mom too. My brother Alson on the other hand, was very happy to tell me the good news that he finally convinced his wife Lea to take care of mom while recuperating in her mild stroke. It’s another extra expenditure for a nursing aide but somehow with Lea’s help, who had been my mom’s request to take care of her, the expense could somehow be disbursed within the family instead of allocating it to an outside individual. Which in turn could also help the family of Lea and my brother Alson. A win win strategy. Feeling jubilant of what he did, my brother Alson prepared my lunch with too much delight.
Thank you so much Lord!!! Everything seemed to be all lining up now. The stars in the sky are lining up.
In my clinic, again God gave us a lot of patients. But this time I wasn’t tired ‘coz I was able to have a good rest last night.
I went to the department store to buy new bed sheets, blankets, towels and curtains ‘coz after cleaning mom's room, I realized we won’t have enough replacements when they get soiled. At least with these new purchased linens there would be another set to use when washing would be needed. While I was at the counter paying all the stuffs, my phone rang, heralding another good news. It was Dr. Cytesse Cambronero on the other line who was so excited to tell me that there were lots of friends sending help for me. I was holding back my tears of joy, so as not to create a pandemic scene among the multitude of people lining behind me. Breathing deeply all I could say to her: “I love you so much.” I felt so loved and cared.
God I couldn’t ask for more but just say again and again. Thank You, Thank You and Thank You.
My other bestfriend Dr. Roselyn “Bulak” Yu , texted me late this afternoon, asking me if I still do go to work. Candidly I said: “Yes, until Aug. 29, Mon-Sat 10AM - 2PM.” She in turned retorted with utter disbelief: “WOW!!! Are you not tired?” My quick reply with jest and heartfelt gratitude was: “I can’t afford to get tired. God is so good to me, giving me tenacity to still be able to work despite all the trials. And your loving support and generous backing of our dear friends made me strong each day. I love you so much Bulak. Thank you for your undying care for me. Thank you of course to all our OB friends and colleagues. Thank you to all of You Guys.”
As what I have said, I couldn’t ask for more. God has been tremendously generous to me. He made me feel so loved and cared about.
THANK YOU GOD!!!
