And the Verdict?

We showed the x-ray results and that of my ultrasound to my hematologist. All my latest pains are simply due to my multiple myeloma. At least I don't have any new illness like thrombosis or whatever.

Yesterday morning, I wet our bed. Poor mom! She had to forego going to church. She later joined me to hear mass over the internet.

My sister and three of her kids came for a visit. They brought puto and kutsinta with niyog.
I was watching "Titatic". As requested by my mom, my sister brought bells for me to call my mom. One was placed beside my bed, the other in the bathroom.

It was raining heavily this yesterday and this morning. I thought my friend won't be able to come but she did come today. She brought Max's whole chicken and lomi, and French Baker raisin bread and pastries. So we were able to have dinner.

My friend and I had a good chat, going through Facebook pictures of her granddaughter. We talked about common friends, the future, my illness, etc. Nice visit!

---------
I was able to watch my son's dvd of "Remember Me". Beautiful movie. Romance, family, drama, and tragedy. Robert Pattinson's acting was superb!

---------
Some days ago, I finished reading "Paradox". Nice book but the ending is "bitin."

---------
I asked my doctor what stage I am in, she confirmed I am still in Stage 3. With multiple myeloma, there is no stage 4. I checked in the internet, for stage 3, the prognosis or life expectancy is 29 months. Indeed, some of my doctors have died already just this year. But I am not scared. Either God will heal me, or extend my life. But should He decide to get me, I am ready anytime...except that I have to go to Confession.

Well What do You Know...

Yesterday, mom bought two bags of chicharon. Yehey.

I was supposed to go out last night but walking is such a torture and since it was Friday, I knew I would have difficulty finding a cab home.

So I decided to order food from home. I wanted Aristocrat but the Cubao branch has closed. So change of plans, Max's.

My friend would be late so she asked me to order ahead. I ordered spring chicken, kare-kare, rice and soft drinks.

I missed watching "100 days to Heaven" but it's okay.

We talked about work and family and health. She said something which struck me. She said that whenever she finds things difficult, she just remembers me and she feels somewhat relieved. I'm glad that my misery is the cause of somebody else's relief. Ha ha.

I've been working on a rush project since Thursday. I'm about to write the Conclusions already.

At least I wasn't zero for this month.

Mom said that whenever her feet are aching and she's tired, all she has to do is think of me and my suffering, and she feels better.

I wonder how many people are like my friend and my mom who "encouraged" when they compare their plight to mine? Without doing a thing, I am an inspiration to others.

Indeed, God is using me in big ways and small.
