And finally, it was the day of the reckoning and Lekha's review by her doctor after two months. There was a slight change in our programme, in that, Vishnu from my office at Kollam had come by the Venad express to collect my personal particulars and signatures on two forms, which when submitted to the bank at Chathannoor will get our bank accounts transferred from Thiruvananthapuram. After handing over two passport size photographs, a copy of my PAN card and a copy of my identity card to Vishnu, we'd dropped him at Kadavanthra on our way to Shenoy's Care.
Lekha's appointment was at 12 but by the time we'd met the doctor and were off to our next serial, it was a quarter to 3. I've never understood the sequence in which the patients were presented to the doctor but I've reasons to believe that a haphazardness/vagueness exists whereby the minions, in between, have a way of pushing their favourites towards the front of the queue!
I'd three queries to ask of the doctor based on Lekha's recent blood and urine analyses:-
(a) Why has her white blood corpuscles' count reduced from 8,300 two months back to 5,600
this time, though it's well within acceptable limits?
(b) There has been a persistent 2 to 4/HPF pus cells in her urine over the last three reports which
means she has a mild urinary tract infection. Isn't it harmful to the kidneys?
(c) There has been an on-off pain around her left knee which has been a worrying factor.
The doctor had allayed our fears on all the three but has suggested a biopsy of her liver within the next six months to a year.
We'd then gone across to the canteen to buy grocery, a delayed lunch of hamburgers and cold coffee after which we're off to the Seematti showroom to pick up a gift for Gayatri, whose wedding we'll be attending, at Kollam, next Wednesday. We'd visited my grand aunt, soon after, though she was fast asleep - we touched her feet and interacted with Ramakrishnan and the others.
We're back at Jojy's place a trifle after sunset and wasn't li'l Shanaya thrilled to see us with her for another evening? It was a nice way to unwind after a hectic day.
Tailpiece.
It's gonna be an early morning tomorrow as we prepare to return to Guruvayur at 6 AM.
