Last night I met Baba in the ICU briefly (about a minute). He went through the list of medicines he was supposed to have, yanked off his oxygen mask saying there wasn't enough coming through and made me promise to make sure his discharge from hospital would be quick and easy. My compliments to Dr. Nundy. He's managed to get him through a tough 6 hour surgery with his spirit intact.
I forgot to mention the kind folks who donated blood for Baba:
> Rumapishi's driver, a large Himachali who after having driven her to hospital every day, volunteered to donate
> Mac, Viji's sister's son-in-law (work that out!)
> A young lady in Mac's employ
> Anando (Shanks' grandson - picture later)
> Joseph (the son of an IRMA classmate of Joy's - Thomas Joseph.) Anando and Joseph are friends and hang out when Joseph comes down from Jo'burg.
And here's a picture of a Wu-lu. CP (Shanks's sister) bought this from a Feng Shui shop as it is meant to protect the health of the patriarch of the family. It hung on his bedside before he came to hospital and now hangs on his hospital bed.
Ha! My first thought, looking at the pic was: what's THAT??? And I kept puzzling over it till I got to the end of your post (considering the post wasn't all that long, you may wonder how much time I had in which to be puzzled -- but that's what's funny -- it was like a tiny blinking light, blink!blink!blink! so fast that even in the short space of time it took to read the post, it felt like a MAJOR puzzlement) - it looks a bit like a pear. Is it meant to? Or some interesting internal organ that hasn't yet been named (or discovered). Big hugs and love. Oh! And many flowers. Choose any kind, but I would prefer orchids -- great abundant bunches of live orchids! (i.e., in pots) -- whee-hoo! Aren't virtual flowers fun? *grin*
