on being 60 plus...
It's been quite a while awhile that I did not write in my blog, as I have been paying some attention to my Facebook. However there are certain things that one wants to write that is of limited publicity …..
Its really about my health once again -
Of late I have been experiencing s/s of most probably is oeste-oarthritis. my knee joints are becoming stiff and of course my right shoulder joint has been painful and of restricted movement since several months. My all rounder surgeon colleague asked me to do wall climbing test with my fingers and of course I could still do that without much difficulty. As the shoulder joint was giving a cracking sound when I rotate - I tried to do lots of exercise with the joint with perhaps the result that the ligaments there got stretched and hence become more troublesome when I want to use it - hence holding my self up or taking a grip with my right hand on the right hand in a moving bus or metro becomes more difficult - it may give way /not hold me up if a real test come such as a jolt or a bump!
Recently as I wrote I injured my left knee joint - I suspect the soft tissues around my left knee got overs retched as I did a knee bending exercise - sit up or with my feet planted on a railing. I had the feeling as it got a little dislocated but I could still walk. next morning I found out my left leg would not take any weight - my body weight is no joke - in a short frame of just 5'3" I weight around 85 kg. So I had to be supported by my better half - who herself had two episodes of back pain - slip disk in the past. I am taking medicine - Acetaminophen +Tramadol combination and it helped and also used Moov Spray. This helped a lot.
What made worse the pain was that I have is a combination of left knee and right should so that - on rising from the bed or floor its so difficult to do as my right hand won't be able to provide the support needed
However believe it or not on that fateful morning as I look to God in payer - the first words that formed in my mind were - being grateful for a long long spell of good health and well being for all the time of my regular service ….. till I reach 60+ ……. Today having reached the year of retirement I continue on a contractual engagement ….. God has been good
Day after I have a meeting at Chennai which I am planning not to miss - I should be able to do . Then next week a weeklong travel to Manipur doing a variety of things……. life will go on
