Buo ang paniniwala ni Tuesday Vargas na may rason ang lahat kung bakit sila pinagtagpo ng tadhana ng kanyang partner na si Joseph Puducay.
Ito'y kahit pa dumadaan sila ngayon sa matinding pagsubok.
Bago pa mag-Pasko ay laman na ng Facebook posts ni Tuesday ang pinagdaraanan ng kanilang pamilya dahil sa pagkakaospital ni Joseph.
Kasalukuyang naka-confine sa ospital si Joseph dahil sa mga di pangkaraniwang sakit na Nutcracker Syndrome (rare vein compression disorder), Median Arcuate Ligament Syndome (very rare condition that affects the ligament that arches over the aorta), Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (rare condition that involves compression of the third portion of the duodenum), at May-Thurner Syndrome (rare vascular condition that affects a vein in the pelvis).
Sa Instagram post ng Bubble Gang star noong December 22, 2022, inihayag niya ang kanyang pagmamahal kay Joseph.
Kalakip nito ang mga masasayang litrato nilang magkasama.
Mababasa sa caption ni Tuesday (published as is): "Mula noong unang araw na nangka kilala tayo ay alam ko na agad na may rason bakit nag krus ang landas natin.
"Gaano man ka kumplikado ang sitwasyon ay inilaan talaga ng Diyos na maging bahagi tayo ng buhay ng isa’t isa.
"Napaka buti mo at naiintindihan ko na bakit ka dinala ng tadhana sa akin, at ako sa iyo.
"Mahirap man ang pinag dadaanan natin sa ngayon ay lalampasan natin ito nang mag kasama.
"Hinding hindi ako susuko gumaling ka lang.
"Kapit mahal, may pag asa at may sagot."
Dagdag pa niya, "Nandito ako at hinding hindi kita iiwan @josephpuducay."
JOSEPH'S CHRISTMAS LETTER
Mismong araw ng Pasko, December 25, 2022, ibinahagi naman ni Joseph sa publiko ang matinding pinagdaraanan ng kanyang katawan at kalusugan.
Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Christmas letter, inisa-isa nitong idinetalye ang dagok na kasalukuyan niyang kinakaharap matapos siyang operahan.
Ayon sa former To The Top contestant, very rare ang kaso ng kanyang sakit kaya naman nahihirapan silang humanap ng ospital at medical practitioners na susuri sa kanyang kalagayan.
Ngunit sa kabila nito, labis pa rin ang pasasalamat niya sa Diyos sa patuloy Nitong pagbibigay-buhay at lakas sa kanya.
Saad niya sa kanyang Facebook post (published as is), “It’s that time of the year again where we celebrate you dear Jesus. Thank you for the love you shower upon us and for giving me another day to celebrate your birth despite the circumstances.
“After my PEG insertion which will allow me to have feedings via tube to my stomach, it has become a little harder for me on a daily basis.
“I am in pain 24/7, I can only tolerate a few sips of water, it hurts to breathe, move, talk and the liquid diet makes me miss out on some of my favorite foods I enjoy when I was not experiencing all these.
“I know you’ve given me this day to celebrate and reflect with you. I realize that I have countless battles that make me question myself.
“Despite this, in every waking day, I feel in my heart that I always have something to be grateful for.”
Pagbabahagi pa ni Joseph, ang apat na klase na syndrome na tumama sa kanyang katawan ang nagpapahina sa kanyang gastrointestinal, circulatory, immune, nervous, at lymphatic system.
Kuwento niya, “Basically having these syndromes (NCS, MALS, SMAS, MTS) wreak havoc throughout my body.
“It causes compressions and makes alterations in my gastrointestinal system, circulatory system, immune system, nervous system, lymphatic system, well almost all of my bodily systems.
“The past months I know my health is deteriorating because of these syndromes.
“My immune system is weakening, I developed autoimmune disorders, my digestive system is failing, fatigue is becoming more and more prominent and my nutrient absorption is compromised. It is apparent that my overall health is taking a nose dive.
“Aside from the debilitating symptoms, it’s rare and really hard to diagnose.
“I have been to several hospitals, meeting and working with dozens of medical practitioners but there seems to be no definitive treatment plan yet. “
Pag-amin din ni Joseph, dumating na sa puntong gusto niya nang sumuko, ngunit dahil daw sa kabutihan ng Diyos ay ipinadala sa kanya ang mga taong tutulong sa sakit niya.
Aniya, "I’m was on the verge of giving up Lord when I received a call from a surgeon who specializes on these cases and finally validated my condition.
“He wants to guide me with my situation when he gets back to the Philippines next year as he is still in the US. Tears fell but this time, from joy.
“Also, as I was planning my end-of-life care, a person who I ordered my meal from (replacement shakes to supplement my nutrition), wanted me to give treatment and management another shot.
“Turns out, this person is a doctor as well and she’s the one who introduced me to this new team of doctors who are willing to give me a fighting chance in life.
“They didn’t promise a cure, but they said they will do everything to help me manage my condition and have a better quality of life.
“They said It’s not gonna be easy but hopefully it’s gonna be worth it. “
Ang lahat daw ng ito ay regalong maituturing na kanyang ipagpapasalamat.
"Everything hurts right now Lord. But I know you gave me this time to develop a deeper relationship with you, to talk, pray, reflect, confess and appreciate the journey.
“Christmas eve spent on my hospital bed with the people that I love is so different from the many celebrations we’ve had as a family.
“Still my heart is filled with hope because I have a strong support system behind me as I battle this.”
Pinasalamatan din ni Joseph ang mga taong patuloy na tumutulong at nananalangin sa kanyang agarang paggaling.
Kabilang na rito ang kanyang pamilya, mga kaibigan, at mga doktor.
Sa huli, ipinagpasa-Diyos ni Joseph ang kanyang kalagayan at kagalingan.
Saad niya, “I surrender myself to you. Hold me in your power Lord and heal me. I still have a long way to go but with you in my life and all the other good things going for me, I know I will come out of this victorious."
