Reflection April 2020
As we face this pandemic COVID 19, the journey is much challenging. We are put in a high stress moment. But we are resilient. The question is how we respond to these changes in our daily lifestyle? It is changed significantly of our routine. Many of us lost our jobs or maybe working partially or furlough. But we are all together of this medical war. What can we do to cope this situation? I believe this is the time to reflect that all these changes will pass. While on the process how can we continue living in such a manner that we come out victorious and triumphant.
Reflecting and appreciating what we have would probably help. We are given the time to spend more time with our children at home. Enjoying the moment of our family.
Checking within if, we have been giving thankfulness or gratitude to do the people that are working tirelessly in the front line of healthcare such as nurses, doctors, EMS, respiratory therapists, people that work in the labs, scientists who work round the clock to find medicine or vaccine, and our government who are giving means to help in giving support to get through this fight.
Have we given appreciation to the people that pick up our trash or recycle papers? The policemen or women that keep our place in order. The environmental people that keep the hospital and community clean.
Have we given appreciation to the pastors, or priests and deacons who give us spiritual support any way they can? How do we treat our neighbor while we are waiting in line to get to grocery stores? Should we act out of anger or should we show kindness and patience? Sometimes we are overpowered by our own problems that we forget to show love to our neighbors. Maybe this is the time to count the many blessings we have so that we too can be a blessing to others.
This is the time that our words should be of encouraging, NOT of discouraging. We should be of reaching out and helping others. Being more optimistic attitude or behavior in our daily routines would help get us through this situation.
Above all we should NOT forget to ask God’s help in intervening this dilemma. He is so powerful that He can reverse this pandemic effect. His mercy, graces and blessings are upon us.

When you notice that you are developing swelling, first step to do is to check with your doctor. You should be diagnosed by your primary physician for you to address the problem.
It is advised that you get referred to a certified lymphedema therapist to help you manage the lymphedema. Find in your area that are certified lymphedema therapist and get help.
Simple tips in managing lymphedema:
- Skin care: You must take care of your skin. Taking a shower or bath to clean your skin is one way of taking care of your skin. Apply moisturizer lotion to keep it from drying. When you leave the skin dry, it is easily getting nick or cut even just a little scratch can be potential of organism to enter your body. And this may lead to infection such as cellulitis.
So, use lotion such as Eucerin, curel or aquaphor lotion.
- Do not use blade razor if you want to shave your legs. But instead use an electric razor. You want to avoid nicking from the blade razor.
- Avoid hot spa. Because of the heat, it can increase the swelling.
