The Goodness of Good Friday

Good Friday is a holy solemn day that for us Catholics, we commemorate how our Lord Jesus sacrificed His life for our redemption.

I remember how during this day, few years back.. my prayers to Him were answered. My dad miraculously survived and was transferred from ICU.

Now, the doctor told me that all seems to be well now with my recovery and soon enough drainage in my tummy will be removed and I can be discharged. Moreso, the colonoscopy done yesterday returned with good results that they didn't find any traces of polyps, colitis or signs of cancer.

The Lord is good. He provides when we are in need.

third time strike!

And another heavier drama came about after my third flare up. This attack triggered my doctor to finally decide on open surgery. I am scheduled for colonscopy in a few hours. I don't know what to expect. I cannot say that I don't feel terrified. Yesterday, I've drank the mean lemon soda that sent me to the loo for literally like 20 times.

Colonoscopy would define how my surgery would be carried out. It's like a site surveying.. Anyway, this experience has thought me a lot of things. Reflecting on how i'd live my life and how I should value health amongst all. As what they say you can juggle health, work, family and friends but remember all else are rubber except for health which is made of glass. Once you drop it, it would never be the same again...
