41!

I had mentioned that 40 is considered a watershed and many who have crossed it still say “It feels no different”.

Is it the same for me? ummm…. no not really there have been two very major changes in the past year.

#1 We moved into our new house and office – the sheer fact that it is newer, much much bigger and filled with stuff which we coveted since long makes me happy – Yeah! I am an easy person to please.

#2 The Chikungunya I was infected with just prior to my last birthday has unfortunately turned chronic and several of my major and minor joints cannot take much punishment – this effectively has restricted several of my outdoor and indoor activities, I can no longer run up the stairs – knees, I cannot jog for more than 1.5kms – hip, I cannot walk for more than 5kms – ankle. Things like bouldering, hang gliding and dancing are pretty much out of bounds forever. Ugh! putting it in words makes it sound much worse than it really feels and the fact is that there has been some improvement over the months and I am still hopeful.

The above two combined have also put SANIsoft firmly on the path we wanted – so the going is still great I would say

    see you at 400

    In a cryogenic chamber if need be. Hang in there, medicine is only getting better, with a healthy dose of statins , red wine and fish oil , you might just be able to live long enough to see total body replacements.

    Happy Birthday, I am glad you are still establishing your victory over the ills…I think both of you are very resilient. I wish you good health, happiness, and peace of mind.

    Oops! The date just changed past midnight in India but it is still 19th here.

    Happy Birthday!

    I don’t know why but I am tempted to ask, did you have biryani today? ;)

    Ugh, my mum is still suffering the after effects of Chikungunya, so I have an inkling of what you may be going through. Much sympathies and may you get healthier with each birthday!

    Belated B’day wishes doc. I’m sure, knowing your zealous outlook, you’ll bound to find ways and means to belittle the latter’s aftereffect. Cheers.
