Around here, Tot ziens! is what we say when saying goodbye.

I’ve thought long and hard about this. I feel that it’s time for me to say tot ziens to you dear friends and bloggers. This is due to health problems which I can no longer ignore. The worse parts are constant shoulder pain down to my fingers and neck pain. I have decided to limit my computer time to my work.

I am not removing my food blog though since cooking is what I love to do, and need to do…posting pictures of what I’ve cooked isn’t that hard….. yet posting will be in an erratic fashion.

Will I be back? I really do not know the answer.

I can safely say that, if you remove me from your links, I wont hold it against you.

THANK YOU, MARAMING SALAMAT, DANK JULLIE WEL

en TOT ZIENS, ALLEMAAL!

kind regards from HOlland,

rhada, chelli, rach, ethel, siena, missP, ymir, Girlie, Lino, Sofie, RennyBa, Marie, rose, lucci, tin, jing (you, your brother and family are in my thoughts) pinayhekmi and hanagirl- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT, my family really appreciate you all, it really mean a lot to us. Thank you.

…but right now, every member of my family is also confused! my sister has yet to see the inside of an operating room, or maybe not! first she was told last week that her gallbladder, like you all know by now, must be removed, ASAP. Since our PNB (holland) failed to deliver my door to door money order on time, the operation was cancelled. So we waited and waited and waited. While waiting, series of tests were conducted on my sister, one result which she heard last monday/16/oct was- her blood pressure was still too high (140/100 as of this writing) so operation was put off. But yesterday her doctor said,’we couldn’t find anything wrong with you nor on your gallbladder…and you’re no longer yellow.’

Ha?!?!

They got T confused, and so am I ..First of all, she was told last week that by friday 13- oct. they must cut her open, what about her blood pressure then? why gave her a specific day for an OP?

blood was drawn out of my sister several times to be tested, ultradsound was conducted and etc. And now, they couldn’t find anything wrong? all these was done at the San Juan Hosp.
Right now, my sister is on her way to another hospital for a second opinion. May she find someone who could give her answers.
I hope this will end soon. May the doctors put her mind (mine especially, please!) to rest. If she needs an operation, get it over with, if not- which we’re all hoping for of course- then tell us so.

my phonebills are skyrocketing too…naku naman, hindi po kami mayaman plus my body is reacting to all these in the wrong, painful way :nee:

what’s wrong here? :rolleyes:

So is Life.

one day when I was about to step in the car, I saw this happened before my eyes, and how quick it was. Within few seconds, this spider quickly wrapped n spinned this pretty lady bug (was pretty anyway.)

Another reminder how precious life could be taken away in an instant. One minute you’re here, the next..poof!

note: sa mga nag-e-email po sa akin na hindi ko pa nasasagot, pagpasensyahan nyo na ako…wala ako sa mood lately at sadyang marami ako’ng iniisip at inaasikaso …isa na dyan ay ang pagpapatuloy namin ng house renovation, sobrang lamig sa loob ng bahay namin tuwing winter dahil hindi ito properly insulated, rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor this time. Super stressed ako ngayon.

that’s how i feel right now.

My sister T’s tests result showed that she needs an operation ASAP..to remove her gallbladder. ‘Can’t we first try to put me on medication’ she asked the doctor ( she’s concern about facing a huge bill ) but the doctors said there’s no other option, the organ is in bad shape.

I learned about this yesterday before 7 in the morning when I logged on to yahoo messager and saw that my other sister, R, was already waiting for me and scolded me even that she’s been waiting for almost 3 hours for me to show up. Luka-luka ka pala eh, naghihilik pa ako nyan! Pareho ba oras natin? Hindi pa nga ako nagkakapag kape man lang. Anyway, she gave me a report and I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by it all.

- T needs an operation ASAP, blood pressure is high, scared of the needles (who isn’t?), has to be roomed separately from other patients (that means ward is out of the question, duon gusto sumiksik ni T dahil nga nag-aalala sa hospital bill! Unfortunately, when she applied for a health insurance years back, she was flatly turned down. Reason was for having a high blood-pressure. Darn!) because she’s also recovering from Hep.A and at risk of complications.

I’m nervous right now and I can imagine my sister’s nervousness. I heard that my mother is also sooo stressed that I worry about her too.

I just don’t like it when a member of my family is sick..even if it’s the dog! If schedule (and her blood pressure normalizes) run smoothly, she should have the op this friday. Could you please include my sister in your prayers? Thank you so much.
