The day I saw the LIGHT

I never thought I'd see this lightAfter several back pain, stomach pain, trip to the toilet and trip to the doctors, I finally found out that I have gallstones. First of, how do you get stones in your gallbladder? doctors said they have 3 F's for this, female, fat and forty, so two checks for me but it'll be over 10 years before I'll be 40. And when that time comes, I'll be using Olay. LOL.

Okay back to getting gallstones, if you eat too much salty and fatty food and of course hereditary. So yes, my Dad had an operation because of gallstones as well as my uncle, aunt and a cousin whose stones were detected earlier so he doesn't need to go through an operation. Plus I have my own guilty feeling about fatty food.

As the day gets nearer to my schedule of operation, I pray that I will not feel a thing once I am in the operating room, because the thought of going in to the operating room, pulls my blood pressure to the line, all the more the sight of it. True enough before I thought of Zac Efron and Marc Gasol, yes, so that I can calm myself and to divert my mind off the operation, I thought of this gorgeous men. No offense BF but I really need for my mind to be creative and be busy. So true enough, before I was calm I heard the nurse say 140/100, that was my blood pressure, of course, I was freaking out inside.

They say Filipinos loves to laugh and would find something funny to even the most difficult situations and maybe that is true. So while I was trying to calm myself, Zac Efron and Marc did not do the trick but they were a big help. I spoke to the nurses. "Ate, para naman 'tong scene sa horror movie" (Ate, this is like a scene from a horror movie) Can you imagine the scene in all horror movies with hospital in it, where all you see are the lights, the camera is tilted up and its moving, then you'll here the door opening and you'll see the operating theater light. The big circle light, look at the top of this blog. Finally, the last thing I remembered was saying good morning to my doctor and then black.

I wanted to show you my gallstones here, but that would be gross, isn't it. I'll just give you an idea. It's black, they placed it in a bottle where you can shake it and it really sounds like a stone, the size of a rock on Katy Perry's engagement ring, if only I could make a ring out of it too.
