Personal Crisis Managed

I went through a personal crisis in my health. One fine day my headache which I've been managing for many years resurfaced. As it was a one side headache, I took tablets for migraine, which was earlier prescribed by my physician. But to my dismay, I found that it still lingered on. By the time the pain spread around my eyes. As I suffered from a stuffy nose too, I decided to take the help of my General Practitioner. After a check up, he diagnosed it as acute sinus, and prescribed medication for five days. But well, I found no relief. There was very acute lingering pain, accompanied by blurring of my left eye. I decided to take the help of my eye surgeon. After, thoroughly testing me, he asked me to get my blood test done. After finding that there was an inflammation some were in the left side of my head, he put me on anti-inflammatory drug accompanied by eye drops. After informing me that this inflammation could be the result of any cause, he made me undergo various tests like, MRI, CT Scan, blood tests to rule out B.P.,Diabetes, Cholesterol build up, tumor, protein build up etc, and after he also tested with his own personal equipments, he came to the final diagnosis, that there was inflammation in my optic nerve. This condition was called as papillitis or optic neuritis. But by the time this diagnosis was done, which took around nine days, I had started loosing my sight. I lost eighty percent of my sight. My surgeon took a quick decision, and injected medication directly into my optic nerve and put me on three days of steroids (intravenous). Each day I was administered one gram. After that, I was continuously monitored, and given steroids and various other medications orally. As my condition improved, he reduced the dosage of steroids, and now I'm on only 20 milligrams, which will be further reduced to 15....10.....5.....and out of it.....hmmmmm.......what a relief......I have slowly started all my activities. To start my first step in my marathon training, I have started with brisk paced walk(thank to our wonderful coach Mr Samson). But well, I had to axe one of my major activity, which I've been doing for the last 16 years. I took the decision of resigning my post as a chair-person of an Early Intervention Clinic which intervenes early Mental Retardation. I also gave up my post as the managing committee member of a Mentally Retarded School. I had to take this decision, as all the activities were in the afternoons, and I felt that I needed to reorient and reorganise my self to keep my self very fit, so that I can give 100% to what ever activity I will be involved in future.
