I am called for back up at past 9 pm the night before so I was groggy when I finally said goodbye to my fellow coders at 6 am. I took Arnie’s shift because he can’t make it that night, thinking I’d be gone for a couple or more days, I needed to grab the oppurtunity to work while we are still at home. Donald was awake the whole time, makign sure I’d not sleep on the keyboard. He prepared hot chocolate drink for me and massaged my back while I am coding. We just chatted the night away and we didn’t realized the sun is saying hello to half of the world. After logging out from OHJ, we prepared to get to the city for a check up. We left here at 9 in the morning, went straight to the clinic and waited for 5 long hours to get seen by the doctor. He spent an hour for each patient….so when it was my turn, it was already 8 in the evening and was done at 9 pm. We had a late dinner near there and went to Crislyn’s PIL’s place. Ella was so excited to see her tita’s and tito, lolo Tony, Lola Carmen and the dogs and the cat. So we took the oppportunity to talk to her about staying there the following day when I get my other tests done.

I had a very good sleep as well as Donald. I dozed off early while Donald followed a few minutes. Ella stayed in the living room with her Tito Ace watching tv. She really missed watching tv! But she has adjusted well in the province with no tv at home. Donald woke me up at half past 7 in the morning to get ready for my laboratory tests today. Ella woke up before we left. We kissed her goodbye and told her not to go outside because Tita Crislyn will be very busy infront of the pc the whole day. We left her a bunch of her favorite bread and a couple of chocolate drinks. We went straight to the clinic and paid for all the tests. Good that I never did eat and drink anything after 12 midnight until I get there. Nobody told me to fast for the blood tests but I am thankful an angel whispered to me not to have anything. After paying for all the tests, I went to all the departments that I needed to go.
After all the tests, we finally took our brunch at the canteen. Donald was so amazed at the chapel at the back of the building. It was the same as our chapel here! Every detail was the same except for the size. Theirs was smaller. I guess the architect of it was the same architect that they hired to design our chapel here. In the evening, we went back to see the doctor for the diagnosis. As usual we waited for long hours. The doctor told me last night that he can see my asthma is getting worst by stress, but that night he confirmed it again by showing me the x-ray film of my chest. Of how you can tell by the shape of the lungs when one person has asthma or none. Then for the blood tests, I have normal results only that my veins is very sensitive. When I was pricked on my right arm, my vein collapsed so I was pricked on my left arm again to get blood sample. All in all, with 2D-ECHO and other tests, the doctor diagnosed me as having Mitral Valve Prolapse. It is not fatal but I need to be extra careful, avoid stress and not to carry heavy things. I had some prescriptions that I need to get.

We visited my cousin manang Inday in their new house. After a couple of hours, we went straight back to the clinic for the last round of laboratory. At 10:30 in the evening, we left Davao City.

We finally arrived here at 2:30 in the morning. Whew!!!! We are all so tired…..We unpacked the stuff we brought from here to there, from there to here
I am making this short because tomorrow is Sunday. We need to be early for the church and also I have a graveyard shift from 12 midnight to 8 in the morning in OHJ. I hope I can keep myself awake!
