Day 7 Chemo 3. Wed 9/06/2017 11:35AM
Today, my tummy’s finally back to normal and I’ve returned to my watermelon juice. I almost drank 2 glasses of it while eating breakfast because I found it really refreshing and it kept me hydrated. Also, I had to get ready for my labs today because it’s been a week since my post-chemo. I am hoping all results would come out normal.
After my blood extraction, I went straight home because I wanted to rest and reserve all my energy for my clinic tomorrow. Upon arrival at home I tried to tackle only the light task and not the usual heavy chores. So, I did my accounting, bill updates and finance summary like my expenses which I haven't done for quite a while. So far things went on so well. Thank you Lord!

At lunchtime, we waited for mom to arrive so we could eat lunch together. She went from her OT/PT (Occupational/Physical) therapy from PSH (Perpetual Succour Hospital). After having our lunch together, my son, my brother and I bonded and relaxed together over the movie at HBO “The Shallows”. We have watched this movie already but we still enjoyed watching it again. The movie was about a surfer named Nancy who was attacked by a great white shark. Her leg got bitten by the shark and everything became a battle for survival.
I was excited for our snack time though. Because Ate Sinead and her mom, Lea, planned to make “Nilusak na Saging”.
“Nilusak na Saging” (pounded banana) is a delicious native recipe from the Philippines, made from a mashed banana pounded on with a heavy big wooden mortar. This is one of the classic and native Pinoy recipe. Preparing this specialty at home ensured healthy ingredients. And that made me excited because that was what my niece Ate Sinead and her mom Lea were preparing for. |
This day had been great, because I had more time bonding with my family. Though I decided to rest early today to make sure that I’ll be ready for tomorrow’s responsibilities. This of course ensures, that I would be able to serve for God’s glory.
