Our Kind of Wednesday

 Our relationship is more of a give and take, Dirk allowed me to meet my friends last tuesday and i fulfilled his wish to swim again at SF and Samgyupsal for lunch. He enjoyed his swimming and our korean lunch at Vista Mall in Santa Rosa.

 

Dirk's Favorite Dessert

 Halo halo is a popular cold dessert in our country made up of crushed ice, evaporated milk and various ingredients like, sweet yams in cubes, sweet beans. banana, taro, pinipig rice, leche plan, ice cream and more. It became Dirk's favorite when we dined at Kuya J, Chowking and at Inasal. 

Spoiled Mom

 Almost everyday, my daughter Arianne cooked healthy meals for me. Its either my sons, grandaughter or grandsons are alternately bringing my foods for the day. I was very happy that i have a loving family who helps and supports us.

We celebrate valentines day by just staying at home just to be safe and for our own good too. My daughter who is an OFW in Qatar send us a surprise red ribbon heart cake and chowking. To you my daughter Astrid and to my other kids who greeted us on this special day, thank you very much, words are not enough to express our appreciation, love you all.

 

Dirk's Everyday Routine

Since we transferred here in St. Raymond last December, Dirk started his day by walking around neighborhood. They already know him and some even befriended him. I am very happy that he adjust easily in his new environment. In the afternoon, they gathered in one corner and have a juice time with his newfound senior friends.

Booster Shots Effects

 Yesterday, i have a follow up check up at my Cardiologist at Perpetual Help Medical Center. She did some adjustments on my medicines and i hope it works for me. I asked her if the booster shots really affects one's health especially if the person has heart ailment or comorbidities. She answered NO which is the answer i expected because doctors are the ones promoting that all vaccines are safe. Anyway, i got my booster shot last December 2 and after that day, i felt some side effects like being feverish. After two weeks, i felt that my heart is racing and experienced chest pains and palpitations. My heart rate goes up and my blood pressure is also high. I've never felt this before and i am thinking that something is wrong with my body. Until i experienced shortness of breath, vomiting, LBM, insomnia, edema or swelling of my body and legs. This leads to my hospitalization and i don't know that if its because of the vaccine or something else. Anyway, my daughter also suffered severe allergies in her whole body after taking the booster shot after two weeks. Is this just another coincidence or other health reason. Whatever it may be, booster shots is really important for added protection but i think if you have underlying heart conditions, you might think twice having it.

Our Kind of Tuesday

 For the first time after my discharge in the hospital, i was able to go out of the house to do some errands. Our first stop was at Bureau of Immigration in Santa Rosa municipal hall, then banks, pick some stuff at South Forbes, visiting our San Jose property, shopping at S&R, pay insurance, association dues and lastly, coffee time with my south forbes friends. My walking is really not that good yet and my daughter Arianne serve as my crane.
