My Advent


Hi Folks,
It is a joy meeting in this forum. I cannot speak, laugh or bite yet and need to resort
to this mode of communication. I can cry though..
To make a 9 month travail short, I was formed-- a couple of cells in size sometime around July 2008 and was expected with all the paraphernalia sometime around March 25, 2009.
Innate curiosity prompted me to sneak through a month and a half earlier when Mom had a bad state of cough and dad was 450 kms away. Poor Dad..he fell all over himself to get to Coimbatore to see me the next day and had to undergo a lot of raillery from Mom for being late --"As usual" I think was the postscript.
Like I always say..I just love unexpected entrees.

Enlightenment


Well then, there I was @Ganga Hospital -- snug and secure for a couple of days when my doctor felt I had jaundice. My eyes and body turned yellow and I was'nt feeling too well.
The hacks decided I did need a bit of enlightenment and under UV Rays at that and I was transferred from my warm position next to Mom to an area they called ICU. Succinctly speaking,
my biluribin level went up and down, up and down -- not unlike the current share market and I was allowed to leave finally at the end of 10 days to Grandpa's house wiser and lighter by half a kilo.
