My sincere salamat to the more than two hundred caring people who sent greetings and wishes for my speedy recovery.  The four little holes in my stomach are healing faster because of your prayers.  I am recovering well.

To my husband, sincere  apologies for causing your dizziness from worrying about me.  I will be fine and I am looking forward to seeing you in two weeks. Take care of yourself too.

To my daughter,  anak, thank you for wanting to fly here right away but I know you have many responsibilities to attend to and you are scheduled to go to NY today.  I do not want you to re-route your trip because NY is a 6 hour travel, each way.  Will talk everyday and see each other in a few weeks.

To my son,  hi babe,  thank you anak for wanting to fly here too.  You have your schedules and I didn’t want to hamper your scheduled trips.  Remember all mommy’s bilin when you travel with your friends this weekend.   Never carry other people’s bags.  Never let your companions put their stuff in yours. Keep one credit card, some money, your ticket and passport in the hotel vault.   There are many pickpockets in HK and they fake credit cards.  Be very careful.  Take care of yourself and I’ll see you in a few weeks.

To my companions on the flight from Washington Dulles to SFO, Prof. Dindo Manhit, RP Manhit, and Tonyboy Cojuangco. Thank you for providing me with some relief and lakas ng loob. The mere thought that I had company during the 5 hour journey made me a bit tapang during the flight. It also helped that Tonyboy had a similar health issue sometime ago. He sounded like a doctor advising me on what to do. Although I was in severe pain, their presence made me a little braver.

To my Kuya Junior ,who is a retired Kaiser doctor, and Ate Linda,  who rushed to the hospital despite the almost 3 hours trip from Sacramento due to bad traffic.  To Kuya Romy and Ate Ella,  To Dimple, for the lovely roses and cookies.  Thank you.

To the highly capable surgeon, doctors, nurses, technicians, from Kaiser, thank you. Last year I was happy to see you were building a huge and state of the art facility. Little did I know that I would be a buena mano patient.   I was impressed with Kaiser’s professionalism. I didn’t have a medical insurance and even that, they discharged me without any payment yet. I hope I don’t faint when I get their bill two weeks from now.

To my brother in law Bong and my sister Aileen  who never left my side before, during and after the operation.  Picking me up from the airport and bringing me straight to Kaiser Permanente hospital.

034

Waiting patiently,
035

buying my medicines, carrying me to the car, to the room, to the bathroom.  My full time nurse,  Aileen, who took a few days off to attend to my every need.  Feeding me, giving me my medicines,  my ice bag, my water, soup,  etc.  Instead of losing weight,  I might end up gaining from the delicious puto langka, ampalaya soup, sopas, pansit, etc.

Thank you to both of you. I couldn’t have survived my ordeal without you on my side.

(details soon)
