In one way… I am Feeling very lucky!

     It is almost 1 month since i last blogged. It has happened all of sudden. I thought i am going to enjoy my vacation and i did, but my fate is turned suddenly in final day of vacation and fell sick and hospitalized for a week. Let me tell you in more detail…

      Last month end i took one week leave from the work to enjoy with my family. I went to my native place in andhra pradesh which is almost 1000km away from bangalore. I enjoyed the almost 20hours train journey and finally reached in my native place. Enjoyed each and every second with my parents. Went on site seeing and roaming around the town. That day is a saturday and I was supposed to return back on sunday the next day evening by the same train. Suddenly in the evening at 4pm i felt like there is something abnormal in my stumock. It turned into a severe pain. I am sure it is not Appendix related pain. I know where the pain will exist in case of Appendicities. The pain is increated by night and gas is started coming out of mouth. After sometime the vomitings are started, and by next day morning i was almost lost all the energy. The doctor advised me to join in the hospital. After so many tests they are not able to make out what was wrong, but found that the pancrease is enlarged a little bit and there was not enough movement in the intestines. The doctor told this could be a side effect of other unknown problem. They kept me in the hospital for a week, Every day surviving with fluids in the form of celien bottles. Finally got discharged from the hospital without knowing what might have caused this severe pain. As per the suggestion from the doctor i was there in my home town for a month and return back last week only.

     Now if i think about the above problem i am really in a dilema whether i am luckey or unluckey. I am staying alone here in Bangalore. If that pain comes here when i was in Bangalore, i will not be able to think what might have happened to me. At that time i was at my home town and with parents so they took me to the hospital. Who is going to take care of me if i got it here? My office people or my boss or my friends or who?? That is why i told initially i am feeling luckey eventhough i suffer… There is a old saying “finding happyness in a deep sorrows” (telugu: kashtAlalO sukhAlanu vetukkOvaDaM)

Blood “O” matic

  I personally saw in some cases and heard a lot of similar cases where a patient is struggling for life due to the shortage of same group blood. In many cases the blood banks or hospitals might have other group of blood except the one you needed. For that you will end up searching a lot for the same blood group. I regularly gets emails from my internal emailing system of my company, requesting employees for the required blood group. My company is having around 10000+ employees in bangalore (india), so some body with kind heart would donate the blood if it suits. In many cases it won’t happen because of below reasons.
* The person is not ready to donate.
* The person might have already donated in the last 2 months
* The same blood group is not available.
  According to “newscientist” the last scenario may not occur in future. The scientists in University of Copenhagen in Denmark found a way to convert the blood groups to a universal blood group “O”. As we know that “O” group would suite to everybody irrespective of our own blood group. Very interesting innovation, i think these guys certainly deserve for a “nobel” kind of prize.
