My ordeal didn’t end in 21 days but continued for a few more months lying on my bed the whole day. I celebrated my 53rd birthday, thanks to friends from the Association of Math and Science Educators of Philippine Public and Private Schools (ASMEPPS) who, despite my diabetes, brought a cake. I tasted the icing but had to forgo indulging my sweet tooth. After all, isn’t it the culprit why I am in this state?
