He has been alternating between good days and days he virtually sleeps through. Today was a good day.
He had breakfast on his own - dropped a lot of it on himself but he did manage to plow through quite a bit of the porridge. A big change from when he had tubes going through his nose just late last week.
He swallowed all his tablets - and managed to keep them down. He had a long sitting in a wheelchair - close to two hours. Not bad, eh. Quite a bit of progress for one day.
And we are fast learning the art of communicating thru guesswork and questions - am hoping Abhimanyu will be really good at this. Most of the time he is worried about us and how soon he can travel back to Bombay. Sometimes, of course, he wants to talk about completely different things. Yesterday he wanted to get Mama to connect with an old freind of his, a Russian gentleman named Krant. This one took some time - person, relative or colleague, boss or junior, with you in Bokaro or Bombay and then somehow narrowing it down to Krant. Any ideas out there on how to make this work faster/ better?
His old room mate (hypertension) got well enough to move out (lots of goodbye handshakes) and a new one moved in (diabetic and yes, welcome handshakes).
On form tomorrow is "Drowsy Day".

I am still wondering how in the world possibly could you get to "Krant".. amazing!!! Good job Rinks
Hi DV, this is such a fabulous idea, with the use of words like "hemorrhagic stroke" and "right-side paralysis" hope people share their experiences and guide us through this.
