Monthly Musings : Dec -21 Another year flies by

The last month of the year and the Covid-19 still rages in different variants. This month Manas had his second last qtly chemo in maintenance period. We assumed it will be an easy sail through but this chemo caused lot of pain for him, firstly the lumbar had to be pricked multiple times and later Manas had severe body pain. Twice we rushed to hospital but Dr Shobha said it is expected, we were contemplating PET Scan but then Manas got better and we decided to do it later. This month Manas also got his 2^nd shot of Covaxin vaccine. We went and watched the 83 movie, a great cricket movie and something which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Manas also went with his close friends to see Spiderman. Being festive season this month was holidays and breaks and Manas spent time researching what he wants to do. His book is now ready and we plan to go to hospital and take snaps with the team to be included in the book. The year ended and hope 2022 brings a new pandemic free living. Wish all just a healthy new year.

Monthly Musings : Nov -21 Journey of 24 months

Nov 30^th 2019 was the day Manas was operated and the cancer was detected. This year it will be 2 years and cant believe that we have come so far. It is like climbing that peak and when you look from below when you start the walk it is overwhelming but later when you look down you cant believe you have scaled so much. This is the exact feeling we have. The pandemic also seems to have become one of team members. Manas had his unit test exams and he is doing fine. Now that he has become an adult, he has started learning how to drive a car and got his learner licenses, I take him out for a trial drive couple of days a week. We also had to get his PAN Card, bank account and Aadhar changed and all is in process. Manas had his cardiac follow up and the great news was his Wyamada tablet was stopped, this was a a big relief, to celebrate we went out to eat. The enthusiasm did not help as next day Manas has slight stomach ache and had to take tablets. Dr Shobha advised we follow same discipline. We now go into the last month of the year and hope 2023 ushers a fresh new beginning.
