Yesterday was such a lousy day at work. Some people in our company
lost their jobs as part of the retrenchment process. The entire establishment
was on the edge and hardly anything got done. I almost trembled when I saw the
head office number flashed on my mobile screen. Everybody was jittery the
entire day and one could hear a collective sigh of relief as the day came to an
end. It was an extremely traumatic experience for everybody concerned.
But there was another reason which added to my anxiety…my never-ending
health problems. I have been quiet unwell and am preparing to go for a
surgery in the coming month. I never realized that I had reached the age when
hospital visits would become frequent and the number of doctors numbers on my
mobile would increase dramatically. Whatever be the reason but I don’t have
much choice but to get ready for a very depressing February 2014. Hopefully,
the rest of the year would be better and healthier.
If there is one advantage of falling sick it is that it does help in putting the things in perspective. In the humdrum of our daily existence sometimes we lose sight of things that matter the most; people and relationships that are at the center of our lives. I notice many changes in myself because of this illness, some for the better and others not so, but all that is probably a subject of another blog. I would be blogging more regularly because I presume I would be having some time to pass while recuperating from the surgery.
So this year has not started on a very positive note for me. Hope the depressing phase is shortlived and doesn't stretch beyond this surgery...
