Daddy's Operation

During the last two months we have been considering the prospects of knee-transplant for Daddy. We have met up with doctors at Delhi, consulted a local private hospital of repute and today, he was examined by a leading orthopedic surgeon at the Post Graduate Institute.

The initial findings are that yes, he is fit for a knee-transplant operation and the earlier it is done the better. We need to put him through a few tests - blood examination, chest X-ray and ECG to decide whether it is all-systems-go. As far as Daddy is concerned, it IS all-systems go already!

Only for the second time in his life he consented to use a wheelchair at the PGI. Later he told me that while the 'rickshaw' ride was good, the 'rickshaw-pusher' (me) is rather an expensive one to have!

We should be able to take a final view within a week.

Watch this space.....
