I am a complete man!

That explains why your posts are so sweeter and why it increases our heart rate. Jokes apart, I sincerely pray that you should enjoy a great health. There is a selfish motive behind this. I like to enjoy reading many of your posts going forward.

Regarding demonstrating of our knowledge to the physicians, I practice, "Ignorance is blissful". After going through the commercials of pharmaceutical products, I have come to the conclusion that the lesser we know the better it is. Most of the pharmaceutical products declare that it does an excellent job of fixing that one problem but it could also give nausea, headache, sudden drop in blood pressure, giddiness, stroke, kidney problems, etc. As a complete man, I truly enjoy living with known rather than many unknowns.

Your sense of humor regarding your physician asking you to go back to normal exercise routine as "devastating" is outstanding. I have been there myself. We have learned the art of tight rope walk in our life. Everyone else who is watching us think that we are stupid to walk with a stick in the hand when walking on a tight rope itself is a pain. We only know the secret that it was that stick that makes us walk without a fall.

Dear Cheeniya Sir,

When I saw the title, I thought that you had been recently approached by Raymonds' to play the role of the retiring school master on his last day at school. Then your very first sentence removed any trace of such misconceptions.

Now looking at the date of the original snippet, I was wondering if you had achieved the bronzed look and whether you had got your Perizaad to chase you round the park. Or did you choose to defer the plan till you had the next annual check up which must now be in order? Tell you a secret. I loved your strategy of lying down till the impulse to exercise passes away. I do the very same. Shh........

 

Glad that doctor has given you a clean and chit and conveyed the bad news to start exercise again.

Yes, the doctors do not like the patient to be knowledgable...thanks to internet about their sickness. They do not want us to know chemical combinations of names of medicines, so that we refer later on internet and question them. Once I asked my friend whether it does not make him hypochondriac to read about diseases on internet. What he said you know....."It is not for my knowledge..it is to educate the doctors, they do not update their knowledge and do not know many things." So, he is bent upon educating them.

 

Dear Cheeniya sir,

Of course you will understand if I say that, that was my favorite ad - I was simply fascinated by the fact 'that' complete man flew!! I was in awe sir It still resonates in my ears when I think of the ad despite the fact that I don't remember any features of VijayPat Singhania!

As much as I want to agree with you Cheeniya Sir about knowing and being eager to learn, this whole afflictions of the body is one area I really would like to remain dumb. There are many other areas you will agree where I could benefit with that kind of thirst! You will never catch me finding information about any of the ailments or medicines or anything even remotely related to the area! I hear you - 'chicken"!! I might gingerly agree for a second opinion, if I don't like a doctor that is, but if I like the doctor - I will blindly follow. After having seen my dear ones go through difficulties, I have concluded that instead of bombarding the doctors with questions on what I understand and don't, I would be doing a better job of offering unconditional love and emotional support to them and then I have siblings who can take care of the doctors, you see! That doesn't mean, I don't anything - I make an effort to know only so much and not much more. And Cheeniya sir I do sincerely feel stupid for having all that medical knowledge and not going to medical school and for not being on the other side of the table - just not worth it!

Now a days, I even refrain from asking my doctor friends as to how their work is! It terrifies me when they start speaking about some medical case and it then it terriefies me even more when they say " ha just routine - with routine ailments, nothing exciting - I am able to see 7-8 patienst an hour"! What!! You hear me don't you!

What I wanted to ask you is to teach me how to do this -

let me assure you I can sleep that has never been a problem - God knows how many sleepless nights I have given to my mom, but it is when I am that awake I need to learn to deal with the feelings of guilt, of not having tried to exercise that day. In all seriousness, you are blessed Cheeniya sir!

Of course Cheeniya sir, you are indeed a complete....yes sugar/heart/senile ramblings and all....We alone know how much we benefit from your senile ramblings - Here's wishing you continued good health and BTW my much revered grandmother always tells me when I ask her about her health with "it is as it should be for a 85/90yr old woman" - leaving it to me to decipher and not allowing me to probe further!
