Follow Your Bliss

I just came from 9 days VL and
decided not to go anywhere so that I can rest. I remember watching ‘24 Oras’
and heard this newscaster saying ‘Ayon sa PAGASA, opisyal na pong nag-umpisa
ang tag-ulan’. So I was thinking ‘Buti naman I never had a good sleep this
summer’. Haay and so I went to work that night, there were my career
obligations waiting for me. Although I only slept two hours before going to
work, I was able to make it that day so pauwi plng ako namimiss ko na yung bed
ko! When I went home, hayy.. tulog nko agad. I was pretty excited to sleep
because of what I heard last night about the weather. I usually use my phone
for alarm. Three times naka alarm ang cel ko everyday–

10AM

so I can help my mom prepare for my
sibs lunchies,

4pm

I have to wake up na so I can prepare dinner and

7PM

time to go to work. This schedule
depends on my shift though..so applicable lng to for this month.

The next day, tutoy woke me up early
and told me that Mama can’t cook coz she has to go to the hospital. Wow! In a
matter of 5 milliseconds, I got up from bed and went out of my room. I saw my
mom lying at bed and she looks like she was losing her Iron deficiency.. haay
namumutla xa. So I cooked. Palan kols me ‘Panic gwerl’ coz I get hysterical
about stuff. Blood pumpin’ if you wanna call it. Cguro lng I just don’t want
anything bad to happen with my loved-ones. So ayon mejo late na and I cooked
their baon pro maga dumating yung schoolbus so they decided na ihatid nlng si
tutoy and their baon then punta na sa hospital. So ayon, while shakingly
waiting coz I don’t know where my parents are and they haven’t text me yet. It
seems like seconds turned minutes and minutes turned hours. Haayy.. after 2
hours, my dad said na naka-confine si Mama sa isang small time hosp because if
they went somewhere else.. ‘ndi na daw xa aabot!’ So here I am, I was like
‘Huwaaatt?? Ndi na aabot??’ Grabe ano ibig nya sabihin?? So he was like
nag-collapse na daw si mama and she was given oxygen and all that. But she’s
doing fine now. Sus! sa totoo lng in times like these I believe yung mga ganon
term is ndi OK. Mukhang I need to coach Papa in using ‘positive phraseology’
ha. Anyway, sabi nya she’s OK and she needs some rest dahil na-dehydrate (???)
because madaming nawalang blood.  So
ayon, my sis and I were pretty cool about it since he said na she’s OK na. Although,
when I asked him the reason why she’s bleeding. He didn’t give me an answer and
told me na we have to wait for the doctor’s diagnosis. Pero yung small time
hospital na dinalhan, super dami kong naririnig na stories about it (yikes!).
Well aside form the fact that Palan’s fwend died there, sabi nya yung couz nya
nung may ‘unbearable stomach pain’ don dinala. She was diagnosed with UTI daw and she was given medicines for the pain.
Pro ayon, it didn’t stop so the next day she went at another hospital tapos she
had an operation dahil her appendix exploded already. Grabe naman!! So me
thinking about their misdiagnosis chuva.. kakatakot!

Anyway, I decided not to go to work
that night coz no one will watch my younger sibs. So ayon, nice weather but I
didn’t sleep well. My other sis naman (dami namin no?? 5 kami eh!) slept at the
hospital. When I woke up the next day,
nakauwi na yung sis ko and she said that ‘may nakapang LUMP yung doctor kay
mama’ since nursing naman ang course nya
she said na baka daw ‘MAYOMA’ kaya baka she’ll undergo for an operation or
something. Well, being the blood pumpin gwerl, hysterical na naman ako. Im not
really sure what Mayoma is or whatever. I was like if she’ll undergo operation
then we might as well transfer her to a better hospital. So I texted my mom and told her that but she
didn’t reply. Haay, for the first time of my life, tears were falling from my
eyes, as in, non-stop. To the highest level tlg. I tried to search to the
internet what Mayoma is but I all of them were giving me ‘not so good
information’. So I tried to chat with some of my friends who have medical
backgrounds but no one answered me. Hayy that day I have proven na not all of
your friends will help you in times of need, as in!! Well after almost 3 excruciating
hours of not getting my luck, I called my couz who works in Makati Med and
asked her about it. Take note, I was crying intermittently while searching what
the hell Mayoma is. So ayon, she said na if the bleeding stopped after giving
her meds then it’s not that bad. She asked for the doctor’s diagnosis but I
told her that we have to wait til

5PM

coz yun lng yung sched for the
ultrasound (punyeta

aragon

..may schedule pa! small time kasi! Pno
kung urgent or whatever??). She told me na if there’s a need for an operation,
then we have to transfer her to another hospital nga. She told me to ask for
medical abstract and all of the medicines that she took while she’s on that
hospital.

I have to go to my work that day,
nice na naman ang weather pro I really can’t sleep. Haay, I was like ‘Maajjj!!
Sayang ang lamig!’ hehe. Hayy, til now, I still can’t sleep coz of what
happened. Grabe no?? Mama’s OK na pro we’ll get a second opinion from another
doctor. Yun lng. I just hope that everything’s OK na. Nalulugi na ang Barrio
Fiesta! I’m still praying and will be praying for her health. Hayy sabi nya
she’s getting older na daw kaya ganon. Nako, If you take away my family from
me, my life is over. It’s like burying me alive. I really don’t wanna go
through the same experience again, ever (well

sana

). How I wish summer nlng ulit kahit
kulang sa sleep, keri lng. I hope rainy days are over.
