Out of Danger?

Pushpa Gupta (sixth from right) pays us a visit

Pushpa Gupta dropped by to allay our concerns over her husband’s health. She had known that after yesterday’s accident (see post), word would have spread like wildfire and we were all anxious to know whether Bijoy Gupta was presently out of danger.
What Pushpa did not know though was that Gupta had managed to sneak

out of home last evening and took an autorickshaw to meet his friends in the Garden. Apparently, he was “bored being bedridden” all day. But he could not hang around in the Garden for long and rushed back home after a sudden bout of giddiness.
As is typical of her, Pushpa made light of Gupta’s fall in the bedroom and insisted that there is no cause for worry. “He tends to over-react,” she joked. “Having stayed with him for 40 years, I can tell when he is really hurt and when he is pretending. He seemed to be more

shocked by the fall than having sustained any physical injury.”
However, in the course of conversation, she revealed that Gupta had to be administered hot compress and given a strong dose of painkillers for relief. “I feel the effect of the painkillers is wearing off,” she said. “This morning he was complaining of the pain coming back in his lower back. I told him to better remain at home and take rest, instead of going out to the Garden.”
Like many of us, Angad Singh was not satisfied by the over-dependence on painkillers. “Why don’t you take him to a doctor?” he urged. “Painkillers provide temporary relief, not a cure. A doctor needs to examine him. Maybe, there is a serious internal injury you are not aware of. Or as you say, it is nothing serious... But let a doctor decide on what needs to be done.”
We can only hope and pray that Gupta recovers fast and is back to his jovial self.

Karun Sharma:
Yes, it was good to see Pushpa in the Garden. We were all happy that Gupta-ji is better. We understand such situations must be reviewed by a doctor. It is not late to get a certificate from a doctor even now.

Bijoy Gupta is in great agony, late evening. Painkiller has stopped working. He intends to see a doctor tomorrow morning. --Blog Monster
