Sleeping with the enemy

Hi all,
It's been a long time i posted a blog & now i don't find any other better job..so i am back...
There were lots'a interesting stuff happening in my life & i will post them frequently,but for now its a sad story.
Aug 14th was a normal,sun n shiny,sweat n sultry day in chennai,having no one at room i was having a big time phone talk with anu(a.k.a karunya,my fiancee),those who don't know that i'm engaged,now get enlightened..yes,i am committed n engaged.coming back to the story,the long chat was interrupted by kannan,asking whether we could lunch out..i gladly yes'ed..i was very hungry n gorged on kerela chicken fry n the typical kerala rice'..then i took a nap..n when i woke up i found myself burning,so as everyone does i had a paracetamol n slept.I had a tight packed schedule for independence day..Mornin 5.30 communion service,9.30 church retreat till 4.30 eve @ v.g.p beach resort n to end up 5.00 pm,a rock concert which i was most awaiting,two spectacular bands are playin..when my alarm banged at 4.30,early in the mornin,i woke up and found a different story,i was shivering n burning.unfortunately there was no one at room,n some how i managed the whole day.
As the evening peeped in,i couldn't take in any longer.Then came my guardian angel in an auto.Anu took me to Laxmi hospital,where we always used to go & The rest is the story.My temp was 103.6 and i was put up in the ICU,My brother sudhan(he calls himself Anto.d.park) was informed and he broke the Rock show and came.15th to 19th;four real-tough days,I had fever fluctuating between 100-102,i was sweating all the day,6 bottles of some medicine goin thru my veins every day which is added up by tablets,tonics & a very restricted diet.'Man,typhoid is such a wretched disease',these were the exact words the doctor said.friends came up in shifts ,anu came in the evening and left in the nights,sudhan was there from afternoon till night.My mom came on monday,the 17th & she had tough time with chennai's weather.Now the interesting thing is,the typhoid count was 320,which was severe when i was admitted,when checked again on 18th it was 640 ? ! ? !,but the doctor said its a ladder kind'a disease,it would raise up and gradually come down,these words were a relief.Praise God my temp dint shoot up after 19th afternoon,we waited till saturday,the 22nd and we flew back home(My first ever flight experience).Guys google says its due to some food(includes milk & water) contamination,So watch out before u eat-out.
I wanna thank all of u,who prayed for me,You people are truly God-sent.Hey forgot to tell u,i am leaving to canada on sep 2nd.These days at hospital were the days when God spoke to me thru the Bible,one of the best conversations that i've ever had with Jesus(i'll blog about it later).Now i am at home eating a no oil,no spice & :-( NO NON-VEG :-( diet (Grrrrrrr....i hate typhoid),praying in the morning,reading Bible,taking rest,watching t.v some times,checkin my orkut & fb on mobile and above all sleeping with my enemy,Salmonella typhi....
Cheers,
R :-)
