After the scary experience in the last check up, i made a weekend trip to Pune! My grand pa is there and hedoesnt travel anywhere much anymore. So i just took the chance to catch up with him as well as my inlaws who are also now settled in Pune.
Ajoba (grand pa) has suddenly aged... I mean he is almost 88 or something, but he used to be a fit man for his age. He still is, but he has gone down mentally. Since Aaji's death few years ago, lack of company makes him all dull and depressed. Not that he used to talk too much even then, but having a presence around is a better than being all alone. I guess its a question with no answer... It was good to spend some time with him, though both of us seemed to be competing about who slept more! :)
My in - laws came to see me too and got a birthday cake and gift to celebrate my birthday a few days in advance. It was nice seeing them again after ages and hope to spend some more time in future! :)
after that i came back to Mumbai and went for the blood tests doc had asked for. had to get my sugar checked after having 50gms of glucose and Thyroid etc. Got the reports and they were totally normal! :)
went to the doc the following day! he seemed a lot more OK once he saw my "normal" reports and that edge of paranoia was off his voice a bit! : ) then i asked him about the exercise bit, he scoffed anda sked if i was used to any?! i said yeah, i can still bend and touch my toes! He asked me totally shocked if i can still do it and that too without bending my knees! i said yes and showed it to him. oh! the espressions on his face were priceless!! i cudnt help but have a wide grin across my face!
he said go ahead and do whatever exercises u were doing, without any jerking kinda motion. The sad part is, i havent done any! :( i have started taking a 30mins manadatory walk at work post lunch. we have this nice shaded area where i can do the rounds and get SOME exercise at least.
having a routine and coming to work everyday etc, definately helps me stay saner, worry lesser and keep more active than what i usually would be. i have been allowed fairly flexi hours and its been quite comfortable.
rest all is well and all that.
Bumpy, i can feel you move l'il more often now. i cant feel some full blown kicks or anything but small ones.. more like wriggling all over. Hehe! you keep movin and shaking! love ya!

Good to see that your BP and weight is relatively under control now. I guess meeting relatives has something to do with it.
Oh my gosh, I hope Bumpy has a better sense of pun than i do!!! Gee
Ah well :) How do you manage to touch your toes without bending your knees and without any regular exercises at that???
wow... hope you remain flexible! Enjoy your carefree walks :)
