Kris Aquino Instagram – This was ready to be posted yesterday but while writing my caption i kept falling asleep.
I asked my team of doctors to please get my surgical procedures done before August 21. We started on August 20, 8:15 PM that was the time check i heard before “daddy Doc” my anesthesiologist and my cousin in law, Dr Nick (he’s an interventional cardiologist) started their work… i remember being transferred to another cardiac OR for my port-a-cath. And i was back in my room before 12 midnight (sorry Cinderella).
While writing this happy tears are flowing- because i’m remembering how much our mom endured for us, she also had a port-a-cath surgically inplanted, yet we never heard her complain, and she didn’t have a pain management doctor. I have an entire team of doctors, and my vascular surgeon, Dr Lucban did a great job (and Dr Kash his senior resident/fellow- while waking up from my anesthesia i said “where’s the cutie pie doctor and can i now please have my DAIM” coincidentally my brother Noy & i had the same favorite chocolate)?
You saw a lot of pics of kuya Josh & Bimb (he’s the last pic wearing the protective outfit for people to get into the post-op recovery area)- my sons are the reason i continue to endure- if i wasn’t their mama, matagal na po akong sumuko. It’s very difficult to be as brave as my dad & my mom because i know this is just the beginning of more aggressive treatment to keep me alive and get me to a point of remission.
My doctors have the next 6 months while i’m in isolation, to figure out the best treatment plan for someone with as many allergies to medicine, food and the environment… for me it’s rehabilitation physical therapy, resuming my love for cooking (i’m not allowed to be near the flame for more than a few minutes because it triggers my lupus, Polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and progressive systemic sclerosis flares) with an “assistant” and another tutorial based activity because one is never too old to continue stimulating the brain.
I have a new hashtag to remind myself how much i owe all of you who continue praying for me. Thank you for your patience, support, and much appreciated LOVE. #labankris | Posted on 22/Aug/2025 12:01:49
