Days passed by so quickly.
We got up early yesterday and showered, then went to church where
father Nelson Oroqueta, a Filipino Priest from Our Lady of Perpetual
Help Parish, said the mass. The mass was in Tagalog again but I
felt at home there since it is where Laila goes all the time for
worship.
After church we went to McDonalds for breakfast, and
had their version of a big breakfast. It is sausage, scrambled
eggs, and a muffin (or rice) with coffee. We also got a side
order of pancakes. Anyway their brewed coffee tasted a little
funny. Later, I had diarrhea, but then that happens sometimes
when you eat overseas.
We spent the afternoon doing some
chores around the house and then me, Laila and her children met Laila's
best friend, Vera, along with Sherwyn for ultimate buffet dinner at
Dad's. It took us four hours of chikka while eating until we
headed for home.
This morning, we got up early as we had to
go to Sta. Teresita General Hospital to check Laila's knee injury
. Dr. Rimando Saguin sent us off to get knee x-ray right
after Laila filled out Patient's Information Sheet. After
examining the film, he then tested her for yellow fluid or blood in her
knee by inserting a long needle. The result was negative
(thanks, God!). Dr. Saguin's assistant told her to drink milk
everyday, and try to reduce some weight. He prescribed
anti-inflamatory pills to take the swelling down and she must return to
Dr. Saguin's clinic after 7 days, if pain doesn't go away.
Right now I have her laying in bed with her leg elevated to help with
the swelling while I am trying to catch upon news, e-mails, and making
sure Laila stays in bed with the leg up.
Anyway, I
will try and blog when I can over the next few days, or I may just have
to blog when I get back home to San Diego. Sorry about the lack
of blogging but everything has been going so fast over here, except for
the travel from place to place. Traffic here is a nightmare.
Until tomorrow, take care.
