Hubby's Surgery




I got off from work as early as 10:00 AM yesterday to be with my husband during his surgery.


I took with me my paper bag novel Cradle and All by James Patterson. It's been ages that I haven't read fiction stories. I'm just busy doing other things. But yesterday, I finished the whole book within three hours without any interruption. That's when the doctor came out from the surgery room to let me know that my husband was doing pretty well during the whole process. He was moved to the recovery room for another hour then an hour later to a regular room where we can see and visit him.



For the past three years, Hubby's slowly been losing a lot of weights. He's taking Celebrex medication and for some reason, he got blood on his stool. After three days of blood spotting on his stool, he called the doctor (from his work injury) and informed about it. He was send to a GI specialist and had his lower and upper GI checked. Then, they did a colonoscopy to him and that's when they found out that he got polyps on his colon which turn out to be a tumor and cancerous.

I can understand his denial at first and now that he's comfortable talking about it after all the chemo and radiation that he's been going through. I respect his right not to blog and blab about it!

Now, I have the permission to talk about it. As I've always says, he is the best husband in the whole world. He will do the best as he can to make his family happy but once he's mad, he's really mad. Mind you, he's not bipolar per doctor's. It's because that he's taking a lot of medication from the get go, that's why he's like that or plainly it's his attitude na where only God can change.

He started smoking when he was 14 year old and he has a hard time quitting his smoking habit. He did try for how many times already but it didn't work out. What can I say?

He's dealing with lots of physical pain in his body and so dependent with the prescription drugs. He's been on medication already before I knew him.

According to him, he's thankful to God that he found me. Do I got lots of patience? I let go of everything and let God handle my life. If it was just me, I can go crazy but with God's guidance, I overcome the life of a married woman.

I'm his third wife, his first marriage lasted for 4 years and the second one ended up after 14 years of relationship. Divorced in America is pretty common just like selling a hotcake in the Philippines.

If possible, saved the holy marriage and I'm not against divorced either. Why stay with someone you don't like anymore, right?

But prayers is powerful and there's nothing impossible with Him. Just turn everything to Him and He has the glory to deal everything on earth. Believe me! I am the living witness of His goodness. Just be humble (but not the martyr type, fight for your rights) and bear in mind that marriage is for better or for worst and in sickness or in health.



To you Dearpie, get well soon! Putting two and two together, it's a wake up call for you and need to changed your life style. I'm here to support you but I'm not a saint. I got temper too and need to fight for my rights.

I know you love me so much and because of your love, you want to do something against me. I forgave you already because God knows what's in my heart. I do admit, I am too vocal and outspoken. It's just me!

There's a reason why God put as together as a couple. I don't believe in destiny but I believe in the will of God. There's a reason why your health is at stake. He extended your life to the fullest and it's your choice. Regrets is at the end and it's not too late to start a whole new you.

For sure, I'm here to support you. I've been with you for almost eleven years and here I am alive and kicking to be your woman for the rest of your life. (Huh!) Forgive me if I say the word "divorced" against you when I'm out of control. All I have to do is to wait for you to divorce me...hu! hu! Just kidding!

You rest assured me that it would never happen to us. Yeah, I can attest how loving, caring, understanding, happy and content we are in each others arm but watch out when the Pinatubo erupted, as if the lava won't quit exploding...wink! They all say, it's part of being married, which is true. You learned a lesson and so do I.

To all my followers... They cut off about 3-4 cm of Hubby's colon that was cancerous then put them back together. He's cancer free now but there's still a tendency for the cancer cell to come back. It was a laparoscopic procedure creating three holes on his abdomen.

When we visit him earlier, he was up sitting in the hospital chair with his breather to avoid pneumonia after surgery.

To God be the glory, he's doing great despite of some abdominal pains. You think my husband will quit smoking now? I just let go of it and let him decide what's best for him. For all I know, God gave him a second chance to live and to remind him that life on earth is so precious.

One factor why my husband is prone to cancer, it's in their genes. His Mom died in 1990 because of cancer and his Uncle Ernest in 2000 with the same diagnosed.
For all I know, si Jesus ang aking kakampi. Just pray without ceasing.
