And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Chapter 8
A Few Thousand Words
Before the Calamity
On the brink
In Darkness
The First Sleep at Home
After the Haircut
And, A few Months Later
(to be concluded)

Wow, what a wonderful and heroic and touching and soul-stirring story. As a practising physician, I have to admit that we get it wrong many times. We keep patients in the hospital hoping they will get better, but the actual healing happens in the comfort of their own home surrounded by loved ones. Two significant factors are necessary for healing besides everything else: the patient's will to get better and the love and support of family and friends. I am happy and relieved that your wife made a full recovery. It wouldn't have been possible with you. And her determination, of course.
Thank you Venkat. You are very right.
Another factor that I now realize helps immensely is nature. The sight of greenery, flowing water, the clouds, the trees and the birds, ... We may not understand fully how it nourishes the heart, but it does.
So well written and thanks to almighty. Agree that nature is a big part of healing with love and support.
Is it a real story of a person?
Yes, my wife.
Oh I hope she is fine now. God bless her.
harman, i read this when you first wrote it and a few times since then. to say it strikes a chord would be such an understatement. more needs to be written about how insensitive the medical system gets in certain situations. i have a lot to say but maybe some day when we can talk. blessings.
