Gratification and Gratitude

Its Tuesday. 13th of November, year 2007! I am still a little sore from my surgery of my canal palate (canal palate repair)!

I never thought that I will have this surgery, I thought that I will be like this forever, with a canal palate that affects my pronounciation of words and articulation.

I never expect that this things will be happening to me. I thought I was only dreaming. I thought that it wasnt for real, that it was just a nice dream, that any minute I will woke up and found out that it is just a dream.

We went to Darthmouth-Hitchcock Medical Hospital Friday morning at around 8 o’clock. And following the insturctions sent to us, we went to the office called Same Day Surgery Program office. And we went there with my husband Chuck and register. After that, Dr. Mitchell Stotland, MD, who does the surgery,  went to see me and explains to me everything about the surgery.  I owe him a lot, and he made my life change!

After that, we went to the pre-operating room, in which they monitored my vitals, my heart beat rate, my pulse rate, my blood pressure and everything. There were doctors who went by to see me and explains about my surgery. In short, they make sure first that I know the surgery process. I felt so honored by that time. I want to feel nervous. But I couldnt find it. I want to be scared and afraid of the outcome, but still its like I felt normal, not so happy, a little excited. I am excited coz if the surgery will be successful, I can be able to sing for my Mom and Dad and to my siblings. I love to sing. Eventhough I have my defect, I still sing. When I was in my elementary grade, I used to sung solo infront of my classmates. Heheehe:)!!! And I was so proud of it. But when I grow older, I felt ashamed already to sing. So I just sing if I am alone. I want to sing a song for my mom and to my siblings, and the title of the Song is "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler. Everytime I hear that song, my tears will roll down on my cheeks unnotice. Someday, if I will be totally healed, I can sing that song to my Family, they are the wind beneath my wings.

I also want to sing a song for my ever beloved husband, Chuck, coz he is the one that lift me up and who is always at my back to help me up when I am down, and always right beside me every moment of my life. I wanna sing the song entitled "Endless Love". I can feel how much he loves me, how he took care of me and how great a man he is. I am blessed that I have him in my life! He is the one who make me a better person, support me in everything that I want to do. I could say that I’ve found that so-called Endless love in him.

Those were the things that I had on my mind that time before my surgery. And when I woke up, I felt a sudden change! Although I need adjustment, but I felt so happy and contented at that time. My husband was there when I woke up. The Nurses took care of me. I felt like I am a new person now! I felt like my life is becoming better and better! For now, I am still in the process of healing and adjustments.

There is nothing more I can ask to God! I have everything. My great family and my ever-loving husband! All I could say now is to continue to show to them my love and care and my deepest gratitude. I thank God for all this blessings that I have!

There are a few things that I still asked from God! His Divine Guidance! His Endless love and protections! And May He will continue to enlighten up our minds and that we will be able to do what is ought to be done and what is right!

I wanna say Thank you for all the people who support me and pray! Thank you! Thank You! Thank you so very very much!
