I'LL BE BACK

  • Mood:
  • Music: THE WARRIOR IS A CHILD by TWILA PARIS
Mild Stroke - - - that was the diagnosis nearly two months ago. It felt like a bomb had just been dropped on me. I went like "How could this have happened to a non-hypertensive like me?"

I would be a hypocrite if I said that I didn't come close to asking "WHY?" I nearly did. I say "nearly" because while I admit to having thought about it, I never really did get around to asking "WHY?"

Oh, sure I wanted to. I could have easily questioned God the way I did during my younger years. This time around, I didn't. Not because I felt totally and hopelessly resigned to my fate, but more so because something deep inside of me was telling me that I had to humbly accept what was happening and that God wanted me to endure it without questioning Him.

"If I truly trusted God, I would refuse to worry." I kept telling myself that over and over. It wasn't easy at first. Embracing my own pain and suffering, there were days when I could only get through. On some days, my faith wavered. Each night, I'd cry out to God for mercy, telling Him "I believe" and asking Him to "help my unbelief."

What happened next has been nothing short of AMAZING. When I think of how much I've improved over the past month or so, my heart gets filled with a certain knowing that God's hand has and IS always behind all this.

God has shown me not only the healing power of His love, but also the outpouring of love, concern, help, and support from my family/relatives, friends (especially my MMGH Laboratory Family) and all the way to my doctors and therapists who have been instrumental in my journey to recovery.

God is re-shaping me everyday and I trust that I would come out of this a better person. Perhaps, even better than I ever was. With this firm belief, I know I'll bounce back. I'LL BE BACK...

...and for this, I praise and thank You, Lord.

THE SONG THAT FITS THE CURRENT STATE OF MY LIFE RIGHT NOW

TOO MANY WALLS -- Cathy Dennis 1991



Wish on a rainbow, is all I can do.

Dream of the good times that we never knew.

No late nights, alone in your arms.

I'll dream on.



Living in wonder, thinking of you.

Still looking for ways to uncover the truth.

You're so young, is all they can say

They don't know.



If I could change, the way of the world.

I'd be your girl.

Too many walls have been built in between us,

Too many dreams have been shattered around us.

If I seem to give up they'll still never win,

Deep in my heart I know the strength is within.



Watching the others, chances drift by

They'll never discover these feelings I hide.

Deep inside I'm falling apart

All alone with a broken heart



Thinking in silence is all they allow.

These words still unspoken may never be found

All these dreams one day will be mine

They cross my mind.

My time has yet to come,

Until then.



Too many walls have been built in between us,

Too many dreams have been shattered around us.

If I seem to give up they'll still never win,

Deep in my heart I know the strength is within.



(Chorus to fade)

This was taken a few weeks ago when we had our Summer Outing (exclusively for MMG Hospital Clinical Laboratory Personnel) at the Greenhouse Resort in Camudmud, Samal Island (April 4-5, 2009). Don't be fooled -- I was initially terrified of the Starfish and I wouldn't even dare to hold any one of them in my hand. I know this blog hasn't been updated for a long time now. So, I thought I'd put a photo here to let you guys know what I'd been up to aside from busy Lab work.....

Slipped Disc, WHO AM I, and A Recent Freak Accident 

		

		

						

				
In a flash -- I had been struggling with lumbar pain for the last several weeks. Slipped disc. But, even with it, I still kept doing Lab work. Just a few days after the struggle with Slipped Disc ended, something embarrassing happened to me yesterday. I was coming off the Graveyard Shift but had to stay for a few more hours since I had to prepare everything needed for the Physical Exam of nearly 200 employees of a certain company on Feb. 24 (that's today) until last-minute changes pretty much cancelled my field work.

Anyway, after extended hours at the Lab, I had to settle some bills and went half-running to catch a ride in the hope of getting to the paying outlet/s before they close down for the day. That was when I tripped and fell. Luckily, I was able to use my arm and right leg to prevent myself from falling face down. So, now, right arm and right leg are hurting. But, the pain will go away in a few days. It was just embarrassing -- what happened, ha ha -- because it happened near one of the big malls here and that meant, I had much of an "audience". Gosh.

Well, I'll keep this short and in the meantime, this is one of my favorite song videos. WHO AM I by the Casting Crowns:

BACTERIAL GIRL

I'm just having one of those rare breaks from hospital duties when I don't feel like I'm ready to drop on my feet anytime (from exhaustion) and that explains my being here to post an entry, LOL. I won't bore you with details about how busy I have been and how I keep "hoping to update this blog" as often as I could because I might only end up eating my own words 

All I can say is I'm having such a great time doing Lab work and the friendly, family-like environment of the Hospital Laboratory I'm presently connected with is so wonderful that I feel so thankful to the Lord  for having led me there and for the co-Med Techs I now call "my good friends". I truly have a lot to thank God for the blessings He has so graciously been giving me since the last quarter of 2008 and until now. 

Anyway, January has seen me getting assigned often at the Bacteriology department of the Lab, something that I had been looking forward to since I returned to Lab work last year. I think Bacteriology is so interesting -- studying different kinds of bacteria and discovering how they look under the microscope, or why they cause the diseases they do. It's amazing. To me, at least. 

Yesterday, I mostly did follow ups of Blood Culture (and had to be extra careful, wearing 2 to 3 pairs of surgical gloves because one of the patients with Blood Culture tested positive and recently died of HIV. Yikes!) and Urine Culture. Just when I was about to call it a day at the Bacteriology department so I could move to the Uri-Para section (you also get to handle Uri-Para when you're assigned at the Bacteriology area on Saturdays) specimens for AFB (Acid Fast Bacilli) staining (for detection of Tubercle Bacilli in the sputum; yes, to test for Tuberculosis) came plus a urine sample for Culture and Sensitivity.  But, that's okay. It was fun, to say the least. 

Of course, when I finally moved to the Uri-Para section early in the afternoon yesterday, I was greeted with urine/stool specimens as well as Hepatitis Profile testing (did I mention that being assigned to the Uri-Para department also means doing Crossmatching and at times, Serology?). All in a day's work!

Oh, well, this entry is getting longer than I expected. So much for wanting to just "drop by" here, ha ha ha.

"Hello!" to you, Marites! It's been a long time. At least, I caught a glimpse of you at the Bistro Rosario a few weeks ago.

I Survived the New Year Blues

Hello. First, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy and Blessed New Year. As usual, I was on duty on New Year's Day, but it didn't really matter. I enjoy lab work and the pleasant, fun, and enjoyable company of my co-Med Techs who have instantly turned out to become such great friends. Most of all, being on duty on a Regular Holiday meant "double pay", hee hee hee. 

I must say, however, the days before and after New Year's Day had been very trying in the sense that my long-standing relationship with J.A.M. had been put to the ACID test. I have to admit to crying, just wondering if we'd reached a fork in the road and the love we shared all these years would go kaput. But, God still found a way to fix things and now, J.A.M. and I have resolved our differences. All's well that ends well, I guess.

Now, I can have a happy New Year...

Catch you later, guys...

Who would have thought I'd be on the "graveyard shift" on Christmas Eve? Well, I sure was. Couldn't do anything about it. Except to grin and bear it. Cest' la Vie...that's life -- the Med Tech life. Ha ha ha. Merry Christmas, anyway!!!

Partying Until the Wee Hours of the Morning

It's been TOO long since I'd been here. As usual, it's been difficult to find time to blog as much as possible because of the long hours of duties that I'd been having. Anyway, last Dec. 20, Saturday, the LAB department of the MMG Hospital held its Christmas Party at Studio Onnie, a Comedy Bar at the K1 compound along F. Torres St. It was fun to listen to the comedian-hosts singing and making fun of anyone in the audience. It was my first "real night out on town" when I partied until the wee hours of the morning. It was all 'clean fun'. After our exchanging of gifts (after more than a week spent for dropping tiny messages and tokens for the Kris Kringle) we just allowed ourselves to be entertained by the silly comedian-hosts. I think we left Studio Onnie at 12 Midnight. From there, we proceeded to Manna to take photos of and get our photos taken at Mana (an Antique Shop) along Bajada St. because every year, Mana puts up bright Christmas lights. Motorists would stop over and take photos of the beautiful and dazzling Christmas lights. Some would deliberately go to Mana just for picture-taking, ha ha ha.
  
After Mana, we walked all the way to McDonald's Lanang where we had snacks at 1 A.M. Ha ha ha. Immediately after, Denise, Jet, and I went home with Grace who allowed us to spend the night at her place. I really had a nice time and enjoyed bonding with Denise, Jet, and Grace that night. I think we only managed to sleep at around 4 AM, woke up at 9 AM, and had a late breakfast (courtesy of Grace's cooking).
  
Thank you, GRACE (GIGI, as we fondly call her) for the "accomodations" and especially the food, hee hee hee. I truly enjoyed our bonding time and I hope there'll be more bonding activities to come, ha ha ha. Give my regards to Buddy, your loyal friend and 'guard'.
