Saunter none the less

Ok! I am almost there! I mean I can walk…well almost run as well. Well let us call my ambulation more of a slow saunter. Saunter none the less.

My peregrination of travails had various phases. It encompassed the pre stitches phase which lasted a day. Then an out of touch doctor sewed the gaping tear. I must admit did a good job. This phase had me mostly tied to bed and limping here and there. Stitches came off on Jan 18th only to reveal a not so pretty wound split as if someone had driven a Road Roller through it. This again involved a lot of the Rat Hole. I must admit it had become a hospital by that time! Then came an excruciatingly slow recovery phase which involved painstaking steps, frequent cramps and my muscles crying hoarse. Final stages involved having the liberty to shower again!! Yeppie..Ask me how it feels now to shower!

These phases however were very pleasant owing largely to the junta out here. Jet, whose propellants had less fire owing largely to his stubborn ligament, was the perennial tea man and my accomplice in limping around(Later on Bhakti gave me company limping around!). Owl was the nurse , unfortunately we could not afford a nurse as the nurses should really be! Owl and Jet would ensure my sustenance by ensuring my meals reached me on time!

It also saw me making Coco and Kau (he did crib and still does and will for ever) for a dressing and French toast! I did not mention Coco,Kau and Sesh rushed to the hospital when they heard my plight ..I bet they would have given anything to have my mouth stitched as well..he he. Hassan, the sweetest of all, ensured I could walk, gifted me an umbrella when my original broke under heavy usage and yes ensured I got all the books at the right time!

And yes I always had apples up my sleeve and lotsa dark chocolates!

Well, I always had hordes of entertainment with Jigsaw, Dream Lover, Hunter boy(Sahil..the cake was lovely yes!),Psycho, Beba (Anup) and loads of others ensuring that my wound shall die laughing! Now I know why laughter is the best medicine?! And yes the resident of Pooh’s Den – Pooh, Piglet and Manisha would ensure Rat Hole was all blithe and spirited!

On a final note – praying for the Invisible Man to gain back his visibility very sooon!!!!!

I shall be 27 soon…and shall be running as well! Cool na?

Lord, you shud have made a mention about the female (tamilian) trainee also. Who assisted the doc in curing your wound... You were so excited when telling me about her... And that kept you motivated to go to the Alxandra Hospital... :)
