HEALTH UPDATE........

Life does certainly put all of us without exception to the test and life is certainly doing the same with me with effect from tomorrow afternoon...........
 Yours truly will be checking into a single room within the precincts of the city's Continental Hospital (Gachibowli) by 11:30 am or so tomorrow morning in order to undergo an intricate and painstaking surgery that could alter the course of my remaining years on planet earth..........
This life altering surgery is slated to be performed at around 9 am or so on December 5, 2015 and expected to go on for a good six to eight hours as it entails detaching and reattaching of the large intestine and the bypassing of the stomach area..........
 Dr. V. Amar a leading authority and exponent of such bypass (if one can call it that) surgeries and is also training other fellow doctors so that they can emulate him and perform such surgeries in the future.........
 As in the case with most major surgeries; the first 72 hours after the successful completion of the same will be highly crucial and I expect to be cooped up in the allotted single room within the said hospital for a minimum of 72 hours after I undergo the surgical procedure.........
 While the surgery will be setting us (both my better half and me) by Rs.4.25 lakhs or so there is no alternative to this sanctioned surgical procedure as my body weight has already exceeded a certain critical mass and things can only get worse from here on with the due passage of time..........
Let me make it abundantly clear that I do not desire anyone's pity or utterances like "so sad" and "poor fellow" but need your strength; determination and courage to emerge even stronger; fitter and rejuvenated after the surgery so that I can get on with the job of doing as much good as I can and trying to spread as much joy and succour as possible.........
 As I will be rendered hors de combat for the next couple of weeks or so and therefore unable to wish all my friends on their birthdays please note and believe that my best wishes and blessings are always with the lot of you stay blessed; stay healthy and do strive that extra mile to make the world a better place than the planet we inherited.........
 God Bless each one of you and grant you everything you desire and a little more........
