How the last day of '18 waltzed its way through 'The Quarterdeck'!

Had got up on the dot and gone through our chores. Gave Lekha another hot water sponging to relieve the acuteness of her back ache. Was down in the dining hall well before 7 and the Rajah Medical team had fetched up bang on time.

Preetha had arrived at her usual time followed by the working team doing the kitchen renovation, who went about the task of taking measurements to cut the heavy sheets to fit the foot lockers. The other things that were achieved during this time were:-

     (a) The used/defective metallic and plastic waste were handed over to Shamsuddin and gang. The
           junk, that has been lying for quite some time, has been disposed off.
     (b) The caretaker had earlier told me that two workers had begun their grass cutting work around
           Raj Nivas. There would be a total of 22 mandays that would be consumed to finish up the
           work. Consequently, transferred the first instalment of Rs.7,400/- into his account.
     (c) Assessed today's work in the kitchen and deployed them accordingly. They would be preparing
          the materials bought to facilitate fitment by Wednesday and Thursday.
     (d) The Rajah Medical team made their second visit for drawing samples.
         
Sister Gifty was able to draw the blood sample expertly and without giving me even an iota of pain. She's indeed a 'gift of God' to her parents and I did tell her that. Lekha had, in the meanwhile, got the breakfast ready and I'd wolfed it down, to keep a safe margin of two hours before the drawal of the blood sample, post prandial at 1000 hrs.

Incidentally, Lekha's discomfort had reduced considerably by about breakfast time. Phew!

My results came in by 11 AM. While the Bilirubin count is down to 1, the SGOT/SGPT readings have shot up to 93 and 99. The FBS is 140 while the PPBS is 295! Sent the readings to Vishy and Savio for remedial measures.


Tailpiece.

1. Anil and Asokan worked on for the day and are progressing in the making of the inner casings -
    with the sheets.

2. Lekha and I spent a quiet evening in front of the television to ring in the new year.
