Pins and Needles

Love is All Around - by Wet Wet Wet

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Numbness all around me
And so the feeling grows…


Haller Haller Haller!!!

Its been quite a while since I've managed to update my blog…Aside from the fact that there is not much to tell, I've been suffering from severe neuropathy…Yah! I know I'm neurotic so add this to my list of "qualities" :) It's been almost a month that my toes and fingers are feeling so numb, as if I'm undergoing acupuncture with pain!...Since it is quite painful even to the slightest touch, I am reserving all my energy and patience for my work. So I hope that explains my loooong absence (a detailed excuse for my laziness) :)

I've been contemplating the idea of moving my blog to another site. I don't want you to be bored with all my medical (mis)adventures. Besides the whole process is quite monotonous...So, I want to write all other stuffs and put some pictures perhaps. Of course I've been to other places aside from the hospital in Quezon city, our office in Makati and our humble shambles in Pateros…I'm a lakwatsera at heart ano... bwehehe!!! But since my lazy bones are taking control of my body at this moment, making the idea into reality is quite farfetched hehehe…

My last chemo session was April 3, it was my 8th session, 4 more to go hoorrrayyy!!! As of this moment I have no idea when will be the next session is. I am currently undergoing medication so as to reverse this severe side-effect. Writing with a pen is quite hard nowadays. I've been dragging my feet to get from one place to another (my own definition of walking) I've been blessed with a job that will require me to constantly move my fingers, so I guess I'm exercising in a way. I do hope that I don't get to the point that signing my name will require tremendous amount of energy and time…

I've noticed that since January, my treatments were being delayed one way or another. Either my doctor is out of the country, or I've got an infection. It coincides with the fact that I'm not financially ready for that session…Divine intervention? :)

Anyway, below is summary of my current financial status…



For now, we are trying to raise again the financial need for my medication and we trust that He will provide...
