My journey : From crawling to crutches part 4

After some month my left leg becomes fine and now it was turn of my right leg. My right leg's operation was little complicated. Its just because my right leg's feet was bent towards inside and that was the biggest problem. My father arranged the money and meet our doctor for further discussion. Once again hearing about operation i was filled with fear. After discussion with the doctor my father called the hospital for next appointment. Then my father booked the ticket for the journey and took me to Chennai for my next operation. When i visited the hospital the nurses recognize me and stared trolling me. After doing all the formalities i was admitted. The assistant doctors started my testing and after three days they said that each report is normal. This time i was less frightened as i was known to the fact that if i will cry still i will be operated so this time i kept my nerves calm. This time no old patients whom i meet earlier were there. The new patients were too elder to me. But i remember one of my fellow patient. She was in critical condition and she was even not able to move her fingers. She was alive only on liquid foods which were given to her through her nose. First time i saw such a condition so i asked my father what has happened to her? He said nothing she is just unconscious and will be fine in a few days. I remember one day before my operation my father went out to buy fruits and that day she was unable to take the liquid food and vomits out what was given to her. Her mother started crying and seeing her crying i also started crying. The doctors comes and look into the matter and gives her some injections and then she becomes normal. But i was still crying so everyone there was trying to console me but i was asking for my father. Next day I was taken to operation theater . This time I was less scared after seeing the equipment there. This time the nurse  said me to count 1 to 10 I started counting and I don't when I become unconscious. My right legs operation was going to take more time as compare to my left leg because firstly they have to do operation and second they have to put ring in my right feet. I would like to inform that ring is a very painful thing. In this the doctor put steel bar through the bones from one side to other side and are connected to a circular structure. My operation and putting ring in my left leg took around 5 hours. When I wake up I found my father in front of me and I said him that this time the doctor had tighten the plaster and he said yes. I was taken to my bed and in the evening when I wake up after looking the ring I started crying. The nurses comes fast and asked me why you are crying as my father was not there. I was there in the hospital for 1 month. After 1 month my father asked the doctor to discharge me as the bill of the hospital was increasing and my operation has dried. So next day the assistant doctor comes to examine the operation and said that its ok the operation has recovered so lets cut the stitches. So he asked the nurses to arrange equipment. They covered me with curtains and started cutting the stitches and I started crying. Hearing me crying mother of the patient next to also started crying. After one day the doctor discharged me. The patient next to me was from Pondicherry and they know Hindi so aunty said to my father that she wants to prepare some food for me for the journey as the doctor has suggested me to avoid outside food. On the day of my discharge aunty gives me some fruits and homemade foods. She kissed me on my cheek and said you will be fine very soon son. After getting discharged from hospital my father took me to the railway station. My father was advised to take extra care of the ring and everyday the ring nut boult has to be tighten slowly slowly. The ring was really causing me too much pain and I have to carry the ring for next 6 months. Finally at 9 pm the train arrived and we get inside the train. After 38 hours we reached Ranchi and one hour later finally home.
