EJECTED !

-

 

That strength and energies which came out was enough to charge up my batteries and I lived again to tell a tale ! 

How I ended my last article ….. But a month later after that ‘Scare ‘….. ,  I am yet to come to terms with myself …..or rather with the active cells in my body..!


Beginning this week, I had a rendezvous with my doctor…… a long one …..he took up my entire day and all he had to say that my EF percentage was only 35 % ?   - Errrrrrr.....No offence sir..! Lv you....!


EF : Ejection Fraction - Ejection fraction is measured as a percentage of the total amount of blood in your heart that is pumped out with each heartbeat. A normal ejection fraction is 50 percent or higher. An ejection fraction below 40 percent means your heart isn’t pumping enough blood and may be failing.

-         -   From the Medical Handbook.

What do EF numbers mean ?

55 to 70 % - Normal Heart function

40 to 55 % - Below Normal heart function. Can indicate previous heart damage from heart attack or cardiomyopathy.

Higher than 75 % - Can indicate a heart condition like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy , a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest

Less than 40 % - May confirm the diagnosis of heart failure .

-          - From the Medical Handbook


Now the question is – I had my heart open to all of them around me ….they did an angioplasty on me and still my EF % is 35..?......... Can someone possibly shift the ‘ Stent ‘ from the heart to my mouth now ?....hahahahahahhaha


Now, having said that , I’ve started to make myself more “looking forward “ to guy , who eats his medicines , does mild workouts, have stopped smoking and eats well…!

Meri Fatt gayi hai ……… hahahahahahahaa


It doesn’t matter how tired I am …I will always be happy .. As soon as you are with friends and family , you get that adrenaline rush….. The energy gives you energy……

This is all about that adrenaline…… Actually , it covers the pain , you know !


I want to know what exercises should be done post Angio…… You can comment on the comment boxes and I’ll take it up from there …!


You might think , why not the research or the internet ?........Yes – I can ….you know ?....But reading your comments and acting on it , would make it more healthier and a disciplined approach with a sense of following you and your guidance………might as well work for me !


At the end of the day , you cannot control what happens to you , but yes…  you can definitely control your attitude towards what is happening to you …..!


I would like to keep my episode here , very short……….

 Writing this much , has already charged me up !.........


A quote I’d like to share again :  “ Hitting rock bottom doesn’t mean , you have to stay there ! “

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
