I'll be joining duty from tomorrow. Had a great time together with my family especially with you mom. You are my pain killer.

I started getting goose bumps whenever I remember that awful period of my life.

My body was in so terrible situation still I pulled it out from hostel to my home. I heard my own voice that "I am going to die ..please save me. I want to see my mum for the last time. Please get me out of this environment. Generalized fatigue, indigestion, loss of appetite were few symptoms for making me nostalgic. In spite of living in between the crowd of doctors, I was looking for my mom who can treat me in her best way, her treatment would start from prayers and end up with solicitous touch.

After the confirmation of my diagnosis, I applied for sick Leave and rushed towards home. That journey of just 6 hours was bad enough to make me dyspneic. After reaching home, my mom hugged me tightly trying to fill my hollow cups of anxiety with her comfort. She slept along, daily listened my injured thoughts, made me laugh, kept a close watch on my diet health ,hygiene, entertainment and medication. Her day was starting from getting up early morning, preparing food, washing dishes and laundry items which is common for every woman. She also wants to take rest someday but that seems to be a mirage.

I didn't want to get out of bed then she took out my guitar and piano so that I could indulge in my hobbies. She didn't know how to play but she tried to make me laugh. It was winter in which for a sick person bathing became a huge task, my mom well known about my competitive nature thus she daily created competition in both of us 'who can bath earlier '. Due to poor health, I lost my energy so in order to upturn my energy level she brought me a pom pup and it really worked well. I started getting out of bed, played for whole day with him.

Everything was going great but the day came when I was really sick, unbearable abdominal blotting and frequent vomiting made me restless. The same day mum was also not well ,thus I let her take rest. At 3 O'clock of early morning, I was in worst condition. I cried out loudly, my whole family woke up. A lot of comfort measures were there but nothing worked. So again my mom took a lead she started patting my head actually I was very fond of this since childhood. It was able enough for me to take a deep sleep. Although it took 2 hours to touch its peak till then my mother didn't stop. She laid aside her suffering just for my rest, my peaceful sleep . I slept after 2 hours but she had to get out of bed for another day. She is a full charged human being who can work for 24*7 hrs. Days were running fast and figure of improvement chart inclined day by day due to her efforts. Blood investigations came normal, symptoms subside, appetite becomes normal. I was ready to join duty then my mom said, "Treatment was quite satisfactory. You've chosen a well-experienced physician."

I replied, "The place from where I got such a substantial treatment is ' in your Lap' and yes my physician is experienced, she has been treating me since childhood and free of cost ."
