WBro Manoy with Sis Vivian last November 2007 Monthly Meeting at Lodge Alpha (Photo courtesy of WBro Bobby Briones)
Everyone has heard of the upsetting news regarding our WBro Manny Reyes, who suffered a stroke last week. According to Sis Vivian he is well but requires theraphy at the Shoalhaven District Hospital in Nowra.
Last Saturday, 10 May, WBro Ted and Sis Lourdes Balgos drove to Nowra and visited WBro Manny and Sis Vivian.
According to Bro Bert Dooma, "Just spoke with Manoy. Still at Shoalhaven Hospital at Nowra. Sis Vivian and family were there."
"At the time he (WBro Manny) was having a shower "with the nurse"(according to him) and requests that visitors refrain from visiting him at the hospital; just in case someone (might) offer him a drink as it is a gross hospital rule violation."
"He might be there for another week for theraphy sessions. As usual, our conversation though short (he's in the shower, remember?) was a jovial one. He extends his greetings specially to mothers-sisters this Mothers Day."
According to WBro Nep Reyes, WBro Manny needs theraphy to regain the use of half his body.
All we can do at this stage is to pray for WBro Manny's full recovery and to give strength to Sis Vivian and their family at this difficult time.
Prayers:
Also continue to pray for the following:
Mr Eric Santos, brother of our Bro Manny Santos and son of WBro Joe Santos. He is still in induced coma, but seemingly stable condition.
The mother of Sis Mela and Sis Mela herself. Sis Mela's mom is still in hospital.
For Sis Tess Amores and family on the recent death of her father: Mr Jose Berroya Sr.
Taking care of ourselves:
Reminder to all, especially to our Brethren who does not particularly like to have medical check ups; to visit your doctor regularly and have those medical tests as suggested by your medical practitioner.
It is so much easier to catch whatever ails us and "nip them in the bud" rather than think they will go away.
Keep taking your diabetic, high blood pressure and other medications, unless instructed to stop by your doctors. Anecdotal evidence suggests that stopping high blood pressure medication, without close consultation with your doctor can and do trigger stroke.
Please take care of yourselves, not only for your sake but especially for the sake of your love ones. See you all in our next Monthly Meeting, 24 May.

Thanks for keeping us so up to date on our Bro Manny's situation.
Guess this means he'll have to give up drinking now. lol
Bro Louie
That would be hard for him...
Seriously, Sis Lourdes commented on why men are all the same. Takot daw sa doctor.
I guess we all are. We think we are still in our prime and that whatever "illness" we have will go away. But sadly it won't and it pays to go and see a doctor for their professional advise. Most serious diseases can be cured nowadays as long as it is diagnosed early.
Just a brotherly reminder to all.
Bro Mar
Assuming, of course, that you want to be cured.
Bro Louie
LOL Bro Mar
Thanks Bro.Please keep me posted.

Hello All,
I just received a phone call from WBro Nep Reyes who informed me that our WBro Manny "Manoy" Reyes sufferred a "mild stroke."
I spoke to Sis Vivian just now and she said Bro Manny has not been feeling fine for the last two days. He is weak and could not use his arms and his blood pressure was up. So maybe it is not a stroke, but still we don't know for sure. She managed to contact Shoalhaven Hospital (in Nowra, she was not allowed to come with the ambulance, hence she is at home and could not drive their manual vehicle). The hospital said that they are still doing some tests on Bro Manny.
Sis Vivian is with the neighbours and is in contact with Sis Mela as well.
At this stage all we can do is pray for him. I'll let you know of any news.
Regards,
Bro Mario

Oh no…That’s not good. I hope it’s nothing serious. I am sure Sis Vivian would like to be with him in hospital, can’t someone assist in driving her there? Can she drive an automatic? Maybe she can borrow a car?
Sis Nanette
Her neighbor will drive her there at 3:30PM... She can drive automatic. Anyway I'll call her later maybe after she's visited the hospital.
Mar
Not good huh Mar? Friends getting sick.
Nannette
We brethren are delighted with the progress of WB Manny’s progress. We will continue to pray and hope for his continued recovery. Have faith my dear Brother.
Bro. Abe
Dear Bros and Sis,
It took a while to but at last I have access to a computer and am able to send this email.
My family and I are sincerely grateful for the support you, my Brothers and Sisters have given me during my illness.
Sincere thanks as well for the Bros and Sis who took the time to visit me in the BUSH.
Times like these I'm glad I AM A MASON.
LOVE YOU ALL,
MANNY REYES
