I tumbled down from a height of around 3 feet from the ground on my head today.By God's grace some one broke the full impact of the fall trying to hold me back so that saved my neck from breaking so now I have a sprained neck and a shoulder for a few days.
Had a busy night trying to resuscitate a patient of brain-stem bleed with a tracheostomy tube who had most probably developed a nosocomial pneumonia-I did not hold much hope for him but strange things happen here as limited as the facilities are.He was breathing better and his temperature had considerably come down.We had to knock doors of the local pharmaccies and managed to get some leincomycin,we had amikacin and pip-taz with us.
Sanish is back so I have the luxury of having someone to take the call at night.
Tomorrow I have a hysterectomy posted at eight in the morning.Hopefully my neck and my shoulder will relax with the analgesic to allow me to do the surgery uninterrupted.

Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura for a fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road?
