Sameer,s Health

This incident is about the ill health of Sameer during April-July, 2000. It was when he was living at 3348 Paradise Avenue, Hilliard and we were living in Southfield. In March 2000, he took us to Windsor ( Canada) for immigration, then he was OK with his health but in May when we were moving to Windsor, he came from Columbus to help us. It was very shocking for us looking at him, his poor state of health. He came and looked totally exhausted , just went to relax. It never happened before. we never saw him so weak and quiet. He did not take any thing for his dinner. He had no appetite. Next Day , we were to move, he was unable to move a single thing. It appeared as he was trying even to move himself with great difficulty. Any how, we moved. We went to Hilliard and stayed with him. His condition was pitiable. He will go to office and he will come back, will sit in the corner of his sofa, exhausted, quiet and kind of helpless.He had no appetite even for a sip of tea and whatever he will take will aggravate his situation, perhaps of hyper acidity. Did not know as what was happening but certainly some thing related to his digestive system. Day by day his situation and condition was worsening. We were very much worried about his health. It was surprising that Ritu did not notice or did not understand the gravity of the situation. I did not notice that she was worried or taking any care about it.All kinds of tests were conducted including colons copy.though his condition was so bad with so much low energy but he was quite composed and balanced in his actions and dealings. I discussed with Dr Suresh Kumar and Dr. swarup, at this point they were also worried, suspecting colon cancer.Finally I took the appointment with Dr. Ramachandran who conducted a few tests in traditional Indian style and diagnosed a kind of parasitic bacteria and deficiency of iron etc. within a week, with his treatment, there was remarkable difference and his health started improving and got normal after some time. Good relief to all of us.
