Celebration

Today, I celebrate. My hemoglobin is back within normal range at 143 and my direct Coombs Test is negative. I'm officially back to normal, anemia case closed. :)

I would like to thank EVERYONE who has been there for me during this most challenging period of my life.

To S: thank you for being there when no one else is. I cannot emphasize how much you have inspired me and how much I value our friendship.

To my primary doctor, Dr. Pasayan of RITM: Salamat sa pag-aalaga. I feel spoiled. As in. :)

To my hematologist Dra. Catli of PGH: thank you very much! You may not be able to read this but my deepest gratitude to you.

To Ate Ellen of RITM: the kindess and concern you show your patients is what makes you an institution. You're like a second mother to me na. :)

To the RITM nurses who took care of me the four times I got confined: I may not know all of your names, and some of you may no longer be with RITM, but you guys are the best!

To the RITM clinical lab: you know my code so well already. :) Thank you for the assistance in finding me blood.

To my online friends: thank you for the support, you gave me strength when i need it.

To those who visited me during my hospitalization: thank you, I really appreciate it! Sa mga nagdala ng pagkain, salamat! :)

To J: you saw me through my worst. You'll have me at my best. I'm the luckiest person to have you.

To my family: I know I've kept you in the dark and that pains me. Hopefully I'll find the courage to tell you soon. Thank you for all the love and support.

To the Lord: You've given me the most precious gift, the gift of good health. You are good, all the time. All praise to You!

    1. Thanks! I hope you enjoy reading as I enjoyed writing.

      As for my family, yes, they still don't know. Was I being brave? Maybe I was, but it was tough going through the entire ordeal without my family having the slightest hint. Others think I'm being unfair to them, but in my opinion, what they don't know won't hurt them. They will know about my condition soon, when the time is right.
