Oxygen and Blood

Two things we take for granted, but very precious. Like the love of our dear ones. Oxygen and Blood!

It was that time of the year, when people around were gasping for oxygen. So much was told about it, there was even a black market created for the purchase and sale! Of something, that we thought was free .  The sale began in bottles of all shapes and sizes. People started sending it as gifts from foreign lands to their loved ones in India. 

Around this time, my HB count - which is just one of the component in our blood started reducing drastically.  Though recommended count was 12 mine reached 8, which happens because of multiple reasons. Internal blood loss, inappropriate food etc. Fibroids could have been the cause for this. I had been taking homeo medicines for the last two years and this happened inspite of that. 

As I consulted the doctor, she said, blood transfusion is the only way out, and this has to be done immediately. Times of covid, and unexpected recommendation, family got worried. Isn't it ridiculous that there is no other remedy, we thought and asked her again, which she did not appreciate.  She said the other way out is injections, and that is not a guarantee and you have to take a course of at least three. We asked would tonics, tablets and food habits not help? She said no, it would not. Took an injection and left the hospital. She had also suggested that we take a biopsy, and said it would have to be done in a weeks time or it would turn to be dangerous. My sister, who accompanied me, was too emotional too. So from then on regular health checks. She started emphasizing on better diet. Sailakshmi my friend said it could be pre menapause, and suggested consulting nutritionist. But I did not have any energy left.

Each has their own styles, thoughts and recommendations. Allopathy doctors can prescribe what they have studied, what was in their syllabus. Thanks to Ayurveda and healthy food. In two weeks time the HB reached 11. Daily mocktail of beetroot+gooseberry +lime; pomogranates, dates, green vegetables, especially leaves of drumstick and few medicines that helped. Thanks to Hubby Dear.

We have reached a point in our life, where nothing is free, neither air, nor water or for that matter anything!

സ്നേഹത്തിന് വേർപാടില്ല. ദേഹം മാത്രമേ ഇല്ലാതാവുന്നുള്ളൂ. ഹൃദയം കൊണ്ട് സ്നേഹിച്ചവരുടെ  നന്മകൾ പങ്കുവയ്ക്കുക.. അതിലൂടെ അവരുടെ  ആത്മാവ് ജീവിക്കും. അതിൽ കൂടുതൽ ആനന്ദം മറ്റെന്താണുള്ളത്.💞🙏🏻
