Noodles with Naresh

Things are still not easy but getting better.  The Liver counts have dropped even further.  They are almost normal.  The diarrhea has completely stopped.  This is the biggest relief as it allows the nutrition to stay.   Last week I have certainly become a little stronger.   The doctor has reduced the steroids which we are hoping will continue with continued improvement.

We saw Dr Sharat yesterday and asked me to look forward to being the way I was!  That was re-assuring but did not have the heart to ask him when?  Can’t ask him to play God!  He gave me a small present and reduced some of the side medicines and said he will hold till next week before he thinks of reducing the steroids further.

The continued discomfort are gastritis and vomiting due to acidity triggered by maybe the medicines.  These are still debilitating but I have to remember that things are getting better and I am not under the gun with other issues!  Amita keeps reminding me that we have overcome the same issues at St Johns.    The only difference is that I am more fatigued now.

Life has brought me to my toes.  Like a complete rebirth.  Complete lack of control over stomach, bowels, the diet, sleep patterns, skin sensitivity, etc… Hard to talk about perspectives but there is a humility and an understanding of the powers that create life and innocence.   In all of these my blessings are plenty and need reminding.

Please continue your best wishes and prayers.

Eckhart Tolle on Dealing with suffering

The first part of this period was very tough.   All the issues of diarrhoea,  vomiting, gastritis issues, medicine induced issues continued.  Reduced to skin and bones there was a lot of fatigue.

At the lowest point, deliverance arrived.   Suddenly in a couple of days, the constant diarrhoea stopped.    That was magical as it is very slowly building energy and strength in me.  Last week’s liver counts were very encouraging.  The AST and ALT numbers are almost normal.  The biluruben count has come down by 50% in a week.

May the recovery continue.  Dr Sharat indicated that another week of this will see reductions in medicine input.  That would  be  a huge relief on the stomach.  I am also eating more and keeping more food.

I had two days of absolute bliss in all this mess.  Just stayed in a zone of presence and allowed the healing to happen.  I try to allow this in the spaces between pain and suffering.

Please continue to pray.  We are staggering towards better times.   There are many who have expressed an interest to visit.  Please give a week or so and I am eager to see you all.

I would like to mention a business acquaintance of mine, who was involved with my recovery – Ankush Bansal.  He has posted a few comments in this blog site.  In a terrible loss, we lost him in an car accident between Dehra Dun and Delhi.  Lovely guy who had a zest for life that is uncommon.  Please pray for him and family and I really hope God sets this right for his family.
