A changed decision.

George was on time as usual. We delayed him by 10 mts. Reached the hospital at the time given and went through the procedural formalities.

Met Dr. Vishwanathan, the liver specialist, who checked me and put me through an ultrasonic scan of the liver and related organs, along with blood tests. I was supposed to see him after the results were available. The waiting period at the scan centre was a bit too much and I'd to tell the sister on watch that I was suffering. The effect was immediate. A sofa was evacuated for me to lie down; that mitigated the circumstances as, I thought, my pressure was low! Ammu was monitoring me and she told me later that I was shivering and that's why she'd held me!

I was put off with the overall services of the hospital and when the doctor told me that there was no reason for me to stay in the hospital as my strain of Jaundice was a mild one - the results were shown to him by then - I felt nice.

Ammu and Mithun began their journey towards Coimbatore. We all returned home.

It was a quiet evening, thereafter, with my sisters and Lekha fussing over me.


Tailpiece.

A hospitalisation that was avoided rightfully.
