Teresita is visited by Bangayan (first left) ahead of her bypass surgery |
A Filipina domestic worker who has just undergone heart surgery wants it known that the operation went well, and she is feeling tired but happy.
Teresita Bautista Ganaden’s condition was made known
to many in the Filipino community through a post made yesterday, Feb. 20, on
the Facebook page of the Social Justice for Migrant Workers headed by Marites
Palma.
The post made by SJMW administrator Alma Bangayan
asked for prayers for Ganaden who was then about to undergo a bypass operation at
Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai.

Bangayan added a personal message to the patient, telling
her that she should be able to pull through because of her strong faith in God.
Earlier today, Wednesday, Bangayan checked on Ganaden
and was elated when the patient said the operation was successful.
“Tapos na ang
operasyon nitong Lunes, Nandito pa ako sa ospital, di ko alam kung kailan ako
ma discharge,” she told Bangayan in a messenger chat. (The operation is
finished, it was done yesterday. I am
still in hospital and don’t know when I will be discharged).
TAWAG NA! |
“Nanghihina
pa ako.” (I still feel weak).
Ganaden added that the bypass surgery was done by
inserting a tube through her arm, and did not require her being opened up.
PINDUTIN ITO |
Ganaden, 54 years old, is feeling blessed despite the surgery as her employer of three years and three months have been very supportive of her.
But it would help if more people offered her prayers
and help as she takes the painful trip to recovery.
PADALA NA! |
