Update in order

I do not know where and when this picture was taken. Looks like some friend's place where my man could not resist playing the piano, tuned or not! Actually he has always stopped and played whenever he has come across a piano: in hotel lobbies and once even in the deserted atrium of a mall! I know I am guilty of having tried and stopped him and even of getting riled at times when he played at home in the evening, but one of the most heart wrenching things that occurred in the last months was the deafening silence that reigned in the house as the piano remained shut. Some feeble attempts had turned to disaster and my man decided to stop playing. The chemo brain had shut the music.

But for some days now, Ranjan is playing again and it is wonderful to hear the happy medley of Beatles songs and classical pieces. It is one of the most wonderful return to normalcy. That is not all, he has been playing golf at least once a week, went to watch his best pal play with Tiger Woods yesterday, been to Calcutta for 1 night and 2 days and is slowly returning to normal work life. Of course he is still on a stringent diet and all the juices and brews I concoct. They do get a little disrupted when he is out, but no harm done!

He is back on the treadmill though we still have to work the yoga, meditation and positive thinking bit. His blood counts seem to be going up slowly. The next test is in a week. My doctor told me that he should avoid crowded spaces and be careful of what he eats as we do not need any infection or viruses coming our way. June is now the month when we will truly know where we stand.
