The day had begun at 4 AM for me. Without disturbing Lekha and Rema, I'd gone about my chores and recited my prayers. We were all ready within reasonable time to cast off around 0640 hrs. At Kottarakkara, Lekha's blood and urine samples were taken at the lab and we're, soon, off for the Kollam Railway station to pick up my sister, Mini, who'd disembarked from the morning train from Bangalore - she hardly, had a wait out there.
We'd breakfast of dosas and tomato chutney from a wayside stall. It was yummy to say the least.
And then we headed straight for Paravoor to look up Kurup kochachhan, who was hospitalised last week and discharged on the third day. He was responding to our conversation and gave us quite a few great quips. If he has a memory problem, at least, there wasn't even a hint of it today. Vijayan kurup, the male nurse, is doing a wonderful job insofar as the cleanliness and hygiene of the patient and the surroundings. Mind you, we'd arrived there, unannounced! After spending over an hour, we'd taken leave of him and the return drive to Kottarakkara was smooth with comparatively less traffic. Lekha's results were ready and we could collect its hard copy. Her ESR continues to be high at 60 but the other parameters seem to be under control!
This time we're headed for Pidavoor to look up Padmakumar's mom and drop Rema out there. It was nice talking to the old lady who'd complained about the recurring pain on her left elbow. It's obvious that she has met a lot of doctors. By the time we're back at 'Raj Nivas' it was a quarter past 1. After a quick lunch, I was off with Sasi for a short programme - the distribution of the course certificates on completion of the 'dress making course' that was of a duration of three months. The venue was Aanayada of the Sooranadu panchayat. Had exhorted them to use the mastery acquired during the course to become a quality entrepreneur.
I was back at home by a quarter to 6. Suresh, my old Man Friday had dropped by to meet us. He has become a mature person.
Tailpiece.
Mohanachandran's medical bulletin.
"Our prayers have done wonders I guess.......the fever has vanished......his right eye opened many times today and his left eye, too, opened partially and he even shed a tear from his left eye.....there is still some swelling around his left eye. The fluid culture has been temporarily postponed". From Suresh Laxman.
"Mohan continues as in the morning sitrep. The medical parameters are showing improvement to the positive side. Our prayers and support to the family are a must and unavoidable". From Vipinachandran.
