Operation Table
Difficult to walk on legs that are swollen most of the time and pain so unbearable that one choses to depend on heavy doses of painkillers knowing well the side effects.
My Knees are now deformed and frail. Who knew that a person who once loved morning walks and jogging, someone who is Outgoing & filled with life will be bound by Wheel Chair one day. I always had the option to operate my knees but the fear of aftermath stopped me all the time.
Thus I willfully avoided the Operation Table. But now my knees are in complete mess.Only ray of Hope is that operation Table where I still have 50% of chance to be back on legs.
A Nurse accompanied me inside the operation theatre. I looked at her as if this is my last time. She whispered in my Ear " Don't worry Uncle, everything will be fine" &
I looked at the Surgeon with a sense of Hope, who was preparing for Anaesthesia. As I rested my spine on the Operation Table, I fell into deep slumber. My thoughts of
fear and anxiety blurred out slowly. I was holding on to the table tightly like a Child holding on to a mother's lap. May be it comforted me with the experiences of Patients who walked on to this very place for operation. The energy present therein was invigorating. The table has seen blood and pain and deaths too. But it stood tall untill the job is done.Its a place of birth and rebirth, life and death, success and failure where atleast for few hours the sense of Past, Present & Future, Space & Time fail to exists. Still it brings out outcomes that is good for a life resting its head on to it.
After a struggle of 5 Long Hours, the Surgeon and Nurses called it a Success. As I opened my eyes I had a lens view of the Operation Table. I developed a deep sense of Trust & Gratitude towards the table which comforted me during the entire process of operation.
As I was being shifted to a Stretcher I noticed the Operation table being cleaned up for the patient in queue. While I was leaving the theatre, The Table seemed ever ready to hug the pain and agony of another Patient who just met with an Accident.
Whether its about an Operation Table or Life , we know we are here to play our bit with full energy not caring for the results.
