I know I haven’t posted in a while, but life has been so hectic for the past month and a half. Kid’s Mid-Term examination, coupled with getting my new premises into shape has left me feeling dull and drab as the monsoon season this year. To make matter worse I attended a medical camp hosted by the LIONS Club Mount Abu at the Global Research Hos[ital.. Regular tests were conducted by the team of experts from Delhi. I was tested for my deteriorating heart condition, and was told to make a trip into Delhi for further examination.
I went to my family doctor and showed him my results .He barged into me and did not mince words, “Ains you are to immediately leave for the heart specialist, your life is hanging by a thread” Words of doom. I promised him I would leave in a day or so and do the needful. I have already been under two angiographies and the thought of undergoing another or a possible by-pass left me in a quandary.
Here I’m on the threshold of becoming a senior citizen and the thought of starting life with a stint or a by-pass certainly does not appeal to me. I was left with no choice but to make a trip into Ahmadabad and meet my heart specialist Dr. Samir Dani.
On August the 1st I presented myself before his panel of experts, blood tests, ECG and eco were conducted on me. Later I was called to the office and Dr.Dani after examining all my reports pronounced the verdict, “Ains you are to change your life style, right now it’s your liver that need attention more than your heart” while talking to me he suddenly recalled, he had to speak to my family Dr. On ringing my Dr, and apprising him of my condition, he was told that he was to do an angiography on me immediately. I told Dr. Dani I was happy to go with his former verdict and if the need arose I would personally come down for the angiography. He agreed and told me to make a trip to his hospital on the 21th of this month.
I spent another three days in Ahmadabad doing some shopping for my bitter half and simply lazing it out and contemplating what immediate changes I would make in my lifestyle………
