the ticking time bomb {part -2}

      TICKING TIME BOMB

                                                                             (PART-2)

The protagonist has well mastered the Brits stiff upper lip demure as the consequences of her eventful life!

She was just thirty and had developed thick medical records. From day in to day out she was popping pills for hypothyroidism diabetes mellitus and irregular menstrual cycle and frequent recurrent attack of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)

Due to all these accumulated pathologies she couldn’t conceive again and had two failed IVF (In Verto Fertilization) procedures to her name. Her daughter was five by then and it was high time that she have sibling support. Every time her orthodox mother-in-law made trip to her city’s dwelling, she became death pale remembering all those tyrannous cannons. She would let loose her tongue on her for not giving a grandson to the family. She bugged her to try harder to have another baby. The lady was left with no choice except to swallow the lump and just stifle.

She turned to religious fast and austerities to find some tranquillity and miraculously she conceived, this time with twins. She was happy. Her fat medical history brought in few complications but her doctors were competent enough to not only accept the challenge but gave it a tooth and nail contest. Anyways, she need to have caesarean surgery to give birth to her twins, only to realize later that her new born girls shoulder got dislocated during the process.

Next six months were frustrating. Her days were spent worrying and caring about the new ones in her life. She didn’t took any big leaps in advice care for herself after the surgery, always settled for loop holes but for her kids she philandered with blood and sweat, year later her hard work finally paid off and her little girl shoulder was back to the pavilion but her body started to beep code red. Her condition declined with day’s pace. 

There was another addition to her medical records; she developed an intestinal polyp and crohn’s disease. The abdominal pain was crossing her tolerance threshold and all the pain killers were started becoming pain friendly. Her doctor husband took his wife case to his gastro-entrologist friends who unanimously vouched for a surgery. In no time, giving in consideration the lady’s condition, surgery was scheduled.

But irrespective of their hasty steps, the ticking time bomb exploded in her abdomen. Her intestine perforated a complication of crohn’s disease and she had all the mixing of poisonous fluid with her abdominal contents. She had peritonitis a worse medical emergency where the survival rates are valued in minuscule.

Immediately she went under back to back major laprotomy (open abdomen surgery) quinces of fluid was drained out of her gut. For days when breathing became strenuous she was put on ventilator inside the closed endeavour of ICU.

HAMER’S THEORY

As for now...

She is partially out of danger. A food pipe is put down her throat to help her with food and another pipe connected to her abdomen that drains out the pus. She is breathing on her own.

Though she survived this one and it will take months to get back on her feet.

But the question lingers large, when will be the second ticking bomb set on.

MORAL

Partially, we write own destiny. It totally depends upon what ink we use.
