Back after a long hiatus. Lots of events in my life between the previous post and now. I had completed another year end activity at my office, quite a hectic one. AND I GOT MARRIED. Roamed around Kerala with my partner (Should I call her wife or partner??). In fact my honeymoon is a strange one – it started with 2 and ended with 60 :) (Let me clarify - we joined our Finance team Picnic on our way back from honeymoon).
Then, its life as usual. I moved to a place near my office along with my partner and here started my routine again.
In the last 2 months or so of my married life, I had not taken her out anywhere. Not even to a dinner. Some unexpected emergencies ensured that I had to spend quite a lot of time in office. She is justifiably right in complaining about this.
AND HERE IT STARTED AGAIN. The back pain that I thought had bid me goodbye has come back to haunt again. This time, I have to take this seriously. After some dilly dallying, I had decided to go to a new doctor, who is quite famous in this part of the country. He made me undergo some tests, and now I am under a compulsory 15 day treatment, resulting in me being out of office. I am spending 2-3 hrs at the clinic for the treatment and taking rest during the balance part of the day. Fortunately for me, surgery is not advised and the doctor gave me comfort when he said that once I do regular exercises and take care of my postures, I can be ok. I only hope so.
Incidentally, visit to his clinic brought in new surprises. My estimate is close to 30-40% of the patients are youngsters, mostly women aged between 20 and 25. I understand from an employee of the hospital that most of them work in IT industry. He said that there is no proper guidance to these youngsters on the postures they have to take, on the exercises they have to do or the precautions they have to take.
I only hope such issues are addressed by the industry and the individuals, before it becomes a chronic disease.
