Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

                    

                                 

For many days I had been feeling depressed, depressed and depressed. The life seemed to be of no use. 'Worthlessness of life' was the main thought sucking my energy and time. Though, I don't want to be pessimistic and always try to keep the life meaningful, many a times I become the victim of this negative thinking.

This continued for many days without any reason.

Then, suddenly a midnight series of diarrhea and vomiting diverted my mind, followed by severe stomachache. Doctor advised medication and asked to go for getting an ultrasound, in case the pain does not subsidize. The pain did not go. Ultrasound confirmed something.

Severe and persistent pain took me to another doctor the next morning, who confirmed my getting to go under knife for emergency appendix surgery. He had a doubt of bursting the appendix and showed us the chances of open surgery instead of laparoscopy.

Immediately the preliminary tests were conducted, and the surgery was performed. It took two and half hours as against the expected time of one hour. On my coming out of operation theater, doctor told my sister the reasons of getting the surgery prolonged due to removal of some extra growth of some soft tissue with pancreas. Bed rest was prescribed by the doctor.

I had never felt so light in my entire life, the way I felt immediately after getting discharged from hospital. I thought the negativity that I had been carrying in me had just piled up and resulted into the need of surgery, that was removed by surgery. Instantly, I began to feel light and nice. I thought of never thinking negative again.

I thank God for not giving me the time to think for preparing for the surgery, secondly, for showing the doctor the other thing during the same operation. Still another, the third reason, for the success in the search of a friend after twenty years, when suddenly on posting my original picture on facebook profile, she responded to my message by sending a friend request which I keenly accepted, simply to be overjoyed. Thank God.
