Mom was taken to the doctor who'd given her the hearing aid as she wasn't satisfied with the functioning of the contraption right from the beginning. She was taken to the ENT specialist and thence to the hearing aid clinic where the machine was fine tuned. The background clutter has been reduced and she gave me a 'thumbs up' signal that it was okay and I only hope that she gets used to this external aid which will bolster her confidence.
She has aged considerably since dad's passing away. The mirthful laughter is a thing of the past and I must hasten to add that the reluctant recipient of those playful taunts and the resultant laughter was dad. Her agility has been affected though her limbs are okay as certified by the doctor in his last review and her hair has turned grey all over.
My younger sister and she of course, thrash out their differences - and they seem to be having many but are great friends, otherwise - with my li'l niece as the neutral umpire. It's with these little tidbits that we kicked off back to Kochi, soon after lunch.
Tailpiece.
Enroute, we'd to meet and spend time with my sister's mother-in-law who'd celebrated her 84th birthday when we're away at Nagpur. Wasn't she thrilled to see us? As we're casting off, I saw her bowed in prayer and it was then that her eldest son, who was at hand, said that she was saying her prayer for our safe journey. With that sort of 'kavach', does one ever have to worry?
