For those of you wondering about the sudden tweet spam: well, Ramon had to visit the ER last Feb 27th, and was confined for three nights. Total bed rest, said the cardio - but Ramon was ambulant by the time we were to go home. *grin* That is to say, he was ambling like the old grey mare who ain't what she used to be; so the doctor allowed us to go home, on the strict understanding that hubby was to have total rest until March 7 for his blood works, and March 8 for his follow-up appointment, when we will know what happens next.

Ma, bless her, needed as much cheering up as Ramon, if not more, and helped out with the payment of doctor fees and hospital bills. Thank God for two doctors agreeing to share one bill, and Ramon's 20% senior discount (which is far less a red-tape-laden prodcedure than Philhealth, it seems).

Dad? We will not speak of Dad's reaction. At all. In fact, the less said, the better.

We were home March 2nd. As of this writing, I have dealt with laundry (lots and lots of laundry!), changed the bed linens, sorted and labeled the take-home medicines of hubby and set up his dosages for tomorrow (poor man is now totally confused re dosages and times). Caught up on e-mail and Dreamwidth. Caught up on Read It Later list. And so on. Still have a gazillion feeds to catch up on, but can take care of that by judicious weeding before reading.

So...life is good, and we are beyond grateful that things are back to normal. Ramon totally chafing at the bit, but I have told him to accept that his heart just won't agree with the way he feels, and not to try any foolishness.

Have some Oscars-related tweets, which we watched in the hospital. Well, most of it, since Ramon had to go down to the Heart Station for a 2-D echocardiogram after the first few awards. By the time we got back, live telecast was over, and I caught the replay later that night. Personally? I think Kirk Douglas was the best part of the Oscars, bar none. Anne Hathaway and James Franco should stick to acting.

Here are some tweets I sent while (a) in the hospital room on our last night, (b) in the Makati Med billing section, and (c) en route around Makati to deposit checks and pick up Ramon's new medicines. Yes, they were indeed playing the Dragonball Z movie while I was in the billing queue!

Somewhat trivial in the way of things, I guess, but two things, on top of all that I've been through, have suddenly made me feel quite fragile.

1. The roast pork I was going to pop in the turbo broiler? The cook got to it first and forgot to ask if she could use it. So while the end product tasted fine, it wasn't quite what I wanted to do with it. The kicker: she did the very same thing that time she left on her day off that she wanted to extend into a week off. So sort of...strike two?

2. The corn on the cob, my favorite thing, disappeared off the table after dinner. Mama gave the last two cobs to the maids for their dessert. *sigh* She said I should have set it aside, and I would have if I'd known it was in danger of being given away while I made a dash to the washroom. She never did that before. And to think I was so looking forward to having them when Ramon messaged me as I was on my way home from Gaisano.

*shrug* Ah, well, that's life! There's four more ears of corn that can be cooked for breakfast tomorrow. And in a fit of hormonal-influenced restlessness, I did an inventory of the main freezer and found bits and pieces of meat that are now defrosting in the fridge. Plus a kilo of ground beef from a month? two months? ago. Tomorrow I will pop them into the slow cooker and make a stew, I suppose.

So yeah. Irrational venting. Now I have a yearning to watch something utterly mushy so that I can cry at the ending...catharsis and all that. Or see if "The Incredible Journey" is available as an e-book. You want to see me turn into a waterworks? Give me the ending of that story to read. It never fails.

Life's been good today, overall, and I am grateful.
