Niagara Falls, Ontario

Getting Better

Kalakanta, Uttama, Connor and I took a drive to the famous Niagara Falls.  For Kala and Connor it was their first glimpse and gawk; for me, a needed breath of fresh air.  https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcGEq1A5qD/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1t8j3ru9hnzzg

I do owe many of you an accounting of my health condition, which very recently could have been life threatening if not checked in time.

On April 24th, 2019, I woke up from sleep, in the town of Flacq, Mauritius, with a new kind of pain.  It was particularly felt on the right side of my lower chest area.  With the help of the local community, I was assisted in different ways.  I was given pain killers, went for x-rays, went for massage, and yes, did some walking near the beach.  It was something to do with my lungs and caused some breathing difficulties; just going up stairs was a challenge.  Sitting was fine—lying down, not so.

When I got back to Canada, I tried a chiropractic session, then a CAT Scan. It revealed that some blood clotting was happening in my lower lungs.  Blood thinners, extra rest, some walking, and overall pacing myself seems to be helping.  The latest CAT Scan shows improvement and the clotting is subsiding.

I believe the most important contributing factor to my improved health is the prayers, mantras and kirtans—which I am not deserving of—that were dedicated to this cause.  I thank you all immensely. 

Currently, I'm having few breathing issues, less pain on my side, and am carrying on almost to normal capacity.  I just have to be cautious not to exert too much.  I try to keep up the walking as much as possible.  It is a great solace.  Thank you! Thank you!

May the Source be with you!
