Dried moss as seen through a kids microscope.
Sometimes life does throw a brickbat. Amit met with a bike accident. He barely made it to the ICU. I had never been to Cooper hospital and it was an eye opening experience.
The night we took him to the casualty was a regular rush night. 3-4 patients per bed. They saw his condition and started working immediately. But there was only one stretcher and only 2 nurses. All rushing around. He was then admitted to the Trauma ICU. The first 48 odd hours were hell for all of us. Total mental and physical exhaustion.
He was in the Trauma ICU for 11 days. Then another 6 in a ward. Thankfully his legs and hands were not broken. Only about 5 ribs and the collar bone. The real risk was the head injury. If he had not worne that helmet ...
We got him back home after a miraculous come back from the brink. The tireless efforts of the doctors and his instinct to live pulled him back. He now has a long slow recovery ahead of him.
