I know you all are eagerly waiting for the virtual voyage to the transplant room as Kartik had promised earlier. However, you need to wait a little longer and bear with me in the meantime. :)
Side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs have taken a driver’s seat presently. Kartik is feeling a little fatigued and listless mainly due to mucositis and stomach ache. His taste buds have gone for a toss, still he forces himself with whatever nutrition he could get. He is able to have soup, rice, milk etc. Don’t worry about this – if nothing else it is a consolation that drugs are working. These are the known side effects.
And what does he do all day long except being bored? He sleeps, makes frequent trips to the bathroom, watches TV, listens to radio and gives me company – after all we both have exclusive personal time in the hospital! :-)
The best thing - he is maintaining cool and taking all the challenges with a stride.
Dear Surbhi kaki
ReplyDeleteIts nice to hear from you finding time from you privacy !!!!!
We would definately bear with you but would wish that Kartik kaka bears with the present situation for the least time.
Let, all the postive energy coming from all supports both of you to pass this time.
We will be in touch and will definately send all good wishes..
Good to hear from you and get the updates. Hmm... btw, even medications/drugs have side effects then why not software that we write
ReplyDelete:-).
Dear kartik,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading, rather intermittently though, i must confess, what you term as your ramblings but what I would term your purest of thoughts. It may be quite logical that your experiences at physical plane trigger thoughts at meta physical or spiritual level (i hardly understand the difference!). Though inexperienced in this regard, I would believe it predominantly causes you to not only withstand but to overcome your travails at physical level. With this level of your thought proceses, duly supported by "medicatation" medication+meditation, stem cells better beware!
Shailee, you might have known, is in vicinity of Pune municipal limits and the void created by her absence and her initial hiccups of hostel life are testing our limits ! Destiny's Design for her!
With usual best wishes and prayers, Deepak
Maybe this is just an elaborate plan by Kartik to avoid your cooking.. Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteSurbhi, good to hear and hope you are doing well too!
ReplyDeleteMilind, believe me that's the best possible way I could find to keep the spirits high! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe welcome all your good wishes and prayers.
Deepakbhai, thanks for your best wishes and prayers. I will let Kartik reply your mail. I am highly incapacitated to do so. Our Pranams to Mansukhkaka - Ishwarikaki.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grant - to you and all spiders! I am doing well.

ReplyDeleteKeep it up. Your company and spirit will hasten Kartik's recovery and lessen agony.
