from Phenomenoel to Abdominal



Hahahahahah was the shout from my throat on the night when I was surrounded by the bunch of drunken friends. The laugh was all over as if my laughing nerve was triggered and this damage could not get reversed. As a part of fun, maunu played his favorite song again and again “jeni aakho ma tadka ne chaya”, darshan could not stop his pranks on lala and new lala (panwala). All were tore in laugh as this moment would not come to us again. There was time when I had to put hands on my stomach and lie down on floor to stop myself from the laugh disaster. “Oh god”, thats what I used again and again to stop my mouth from that “haha”. This session was 2 hrs but definitely made me feel twice of it. At last, beers were spilled in stomach, cans made noise on throwing, snacks were gulped and we were on the verge to close our eyes without uttering our prayers for night. I just remembered one thing; I have to make to college tomorrow at 8.
Clock ran fast when we never want. It was 7 15 and my mobile gave me a sound which led my mind wake up but not my eyes. With closed eyes I rushed to bathroom got fresh in 15 minutes and ran towards train station. I made it on time to college. I saw my professor waiting for me to pick the heavy loaded packets which were meant to distribute in the class. I finished my morning exercise and just took a sigh of relief when I felt a small kick given pain. I felt acidic call in stomach which led memade assumption that I should get something in the empty godown. I rushed to coffee shop had my coffee. I took it and came to my class taking a sip by sip and enjoying its taste. Again after 3 to 4 sips the pain suddenly occurred once again. I could not locate on which quadrant of stomach was the pain there. I just could not hold it. My coffee could not enter the end of esophageal pipe to enter the stomach. Soon it reverted back and forced me to expel all the drink on the floor. It was embarrassing but I was forced to focus only on my ongoing and unbearable pain. Soon, I had to leave college and catch a cab to reach my aunts home. After waiting for 15 min I got the cab that got ready to take me to Staten Island. I sat in car and I remember I removed the button of my pant and took a fresh air that gave comfort to my painful stomach. The pain had reached its maximum and I felt like my stomach will burst out removing the entire laugh which I made last night. I could easily compare both these moments and could see the laugh and cry sides of life. On one instance I saw out of the cab where my eyes got stuck on a van which carried a coffin in it. I looked upward towards the sky and said “is this the moment I should look this thing” as if I was having conversation with god as not to land me horizontally in that 4 by 10 space. I reached aunty place and I remember this was the first time I spent 70 dollars on a cab in the walking city (accord to me) NY. It was heart breaking but had to be done for the sake of reaching at aunts place. I rang the door bell 10 to 11 times without any break as if a vampire was following me. My aunt opened it with a sense of anger on her face but on the other second she noticed my pale yellow face deep in pain her…anger turned to be questioned face. She dint understood first but just got a hold on my hand. This was the most unbearable moment of my pain and I slept on her floor knowing nothing that it’s a floor not the cushion bed. She picked me and did whatever she can, called her friends talked about me. She admitted me in the emergency room at Coney Island hospital. I am thankful to her friend that have helped me a lot and in returned I was sorry not to give her anything till now. (I promised myself that I will give her and thanks appreciation when she meets me).
I was been treated there with all kind of emergency stuff including pain killing injection to antibiotics, went under round machine which made me felt that I am entering a different universe on the other hand. After all the reports it was detected that I had a small stone in kidney and a little big in bladder. Well listening to this I said myself a small thing can bring u r balls in neck and I laughed and thanked god for letting me know whats going on with me and thanked aunt for spending her valuable time with me which I cannot return in any kind of favor. I love my uncle, aunt for being with me and thanked god for giving me a small family which I always opted for…
It made me remember only of one thing “haso muskurao kya pata kal ho na ho”. I never regretted laughing so much last night coz at least that made me laugh during the sessions of bad pain. I said one thing to myself “time ka kuch bharosa nahi, kabhi bhi palat jaye” hence it was phenomenal to laugh the night before the pain but it reached abdominal the other day…

  1. Interesting to see this from your point of view. By the way, when people help you, most are not looking for anything in return. The appreciation comes from your being well. That's all! Never measure kindness of others with gifts. A simple thank you can go a long way. All the best...and hope the kidney stone never causes you anguish again!
