5th December 2008 Afternoon shift 12noon till 6pm
-------------------------------------------------
I was on afternoon shift today. Bhadra Balaram Prabhu, who was in the morning shift stayed back with me to learn physiotheraphy which suppose to take place after the lunch. We finished feeding the lunch at 3.30pm. When GM was about to take his pear pudding the physiotherapist came in. Though GM seen little tired after the morning session of physiotheraphy and lunch,GM still agreed to go for the next session of exercises. GM enthusiasm is ever high and he very much wanted to gain strength and walk as soon as possible especially after seeing some improvements on his bodily movement due to exercises.
At the end of the session,the therapist told us that tommorow they may take GM to the physiotheraphy department by wheelchair to try to make GM stand with the help of some instruments. So today around 4.30pm he was made to sit on a wheelchair and we took him around the ICU ward. In the beginning GM was not able to balance himself up while being on the sitting position. He was keep falling towards sideways. Gradually,after keep reminding him couple of times to keep his back straight up he did quite well. While touring around the ward we introduced the staffs, we also showed him his altar at the back of his bed and we told him his bed number too. He was looking around by turning his head from one side to another side very slowly.Then we took him close to a window and showed him the Arabian Sea. He was looking at it for a while. After about ten rounds around ICU ward he became quite tired. we made him to take rest on his bed.
GM rested for 45 minutes. Then we heard an announcement,'Bed no.51.' I rushed inside the ICU. GM was awake and he asked for his evening fruit. We also had HG Braj Hari Prabhu who came to checkout the ICU. He was with GM for about 15 minutes. While GM was having his fruit he told Braj Hari Prabhu,"I didnt see Radha Rasa Bihari picture here. Pls bring them and also Hanuman."
At 7.45pm after doing the face theraphy for GM we handover our duty and left the hospital.
