Amitabh Bachchan surgery ke baad!

Amitabh Bachchan surgery ke baad!

Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who underwent an abdominal surgery on February 11, was finally discharged on Thursday night. Currently recovering at home, the actor on Friday tweeted, "Home.

A joy to be back in familiar surroundings... thank you all for your blessings and prayers... I made it again." Though the actor was expecting an early recovery, a few complications had prolonged his stay at the suburban hospital, where he had been admitted.

But though home, insiders say, that he has been advised bed rest for at least a month. "The doctors have requested him to avoid any hectic shoot or travelling for the next three months actually and this time around his family will be making sure that he follows the doctors instructions to the T," reveals a source. However, the actor's recuperatory break is unlikely to throw any of his films out of gear.

An insider informs that since the surgery was planned well in advance, Bachchan had already finished most of his commitments. "Bachchan is a thorough professional and he had planned his films keeping in mind his health issues," says the source. He has already wrapped up his shoots for Department, as well as the cameo that he will be seen making with wife, actor Jaya in his make-up man Deepak Sawant's Bhojpuri film Gangadevi. So apparently, there're no films whose schedules are getting affected by his health issues," says the insider.

These films apart, there is buzz that the actor is expected to begin work on his other films including one with Prakash Jha and Shirish Kunder. Though Bachchan was not expecting his resting period to be so long, it's unlikely to affect the new films too, as they are apparently still in pre-production stages, according to sources. There are also reports of him being in talks for another season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, though nothing's been announced yet.

Meanwhile, his Hollywood debut in the new film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is due to be released late this year.

The only matter that starts is the connect with the Ef. Starts there and ends there BigB Blog

Confined to a hospital bed and room … confined now to your own bed and room … after a while, the differences obliterate themselves. The courage and desire to involve oneself in doing, slowly diminishes to not doing. No deliberate effort, but its sameness begins to give impression that it be so. Many theories abound that say first to make a start, slow and almost unnoticeable and then gradually everything begins to fall in place. The only matter that starts is the connect with the Ef. Starts there and ends there. Not an unpleasant act, rather one that now gives greater pleasure than any other.

Reading through the comments, gathering the text of your inputs, assembling them all in my being, is a joy which I may never be able to aptly describe. But suffice to say, all else pales somewhat in its presence. Many look forward to the night to rest to sleep and allow the body to recover from the rigors of the day. Mine is not quite that. More so now because getting in and adjusting the posture for the nocturnal journey is an effort no less physical than running a mile. Each shift gives caution of a damaged part that needs to be tenderly attended to. And when the major portions of that reside in the abdomen, it is a difficult art. The mind says yes, the sharp pain says thats a wrong lane. Stop, be gentle, nurture the movement, give time … ah ! much too much to oversee, and garner precaution.

 

Does pain both psychological and physical dilute the emotional resistance in us ? I would tend to believe it does. The reserve of the pain endured, on overflowing, tends to burst at the smallest of incidents. It is not a good sign to be seen succumbing to it, but the ducts involuntarily fill up and spill out, unasked. A musical piece, a film, a loving letter of care, a soothing hand, kind words … all possessing the capacity to create this uncommon phenomena. The sensitivity quotient at its peak.

 

My desk as I sit about, loads itself with unattended work. Paperwork that should have been attended to a fortnight ago. The mobile has over 800 unanswered received messages – greetings on my return and wishes for speedy recovery. Each day I try to attend to them but its sheer vastness and my own inability, stops me. I shall get through them, but for the moment the lethargy of my convalescence is far too pronounced. I will, I shall and I must.

The impressive clock at the far end, that chimes and announces the hour, just struck 12. To many it beckons bedtime. To me it reflects another 7 hours before the sun ! Time spent is related more to the timings of the medication, to know to be be aware of them, when, how much and in what quantity. I would rather be remembering lines or character to play than this. But in its absence, this occupies greater time and value. A oncoming sneeze does not come with the abandon it did some days ago. So to with the cough. The pull of pain on the site of the surgery draws your attention first. The sneeze or the cough is not bad at all, its the sharp pain it generates at the sight of the wounds that become of concern. Odd !

The rapidity with which to chose to stand and sit, goes through an exercise in adaptability. Prowess is fundamental to execute these rather 'intricate' endeavors. Strange ! But the effort must continue and repeatedly. Hopefully one day all shall fall into place and behave as though nothing had happened. Seemingly so of course, for the changes cannot and will not be wished away …

Let me then take leave to conduct my acts as I must, with all its recent handicaps .. the morrow calls in some hours and we shall be together again ..

With love ..

Just discharged from hospital and am back home in familiar surroundings

Jalsa , Mumbai           Feb  23 ,  2012                Thu  11 : 51 PM

 

HOME  !!!!

Just discharged from hospital and am back home in familiar surroundings, gently taking in all that now engulfs me. The surgery discomfort and soreness persists, but will take a while to finally erase itself from the pain glands, but in all, apart from a sluggish movement, Gods grace and prayers of the Ef have put me back on track again. My most gracious thanks to all …

The staff and the nurses at 7 Hills were all smiles and expressed sadness that I was leaving, which was rather sweet of them. They would miss me they said, but hoped I would never have to come back again in adverse circumstances. The paparazzi, though kept away from the premises of the Hospital, were there at the entrance and throughout the journey home, blocking the movement of the car by standing in front and on top of the vehicle, which was disturbing. I have yet to see them understand the sensitivity of a situation such as this. A patient just released from hospital needs to get back to his home and secure from the travel, to it, as soon as possible, but I guess they would rather get their exclusive photograph than have such consideration. A pleasant request falls on dumb ears and anything stronger than that shall be legitimate invitation to their wrath, of being manhandled. A complicated procedure would then follow resulting in nothing, but a severe negativeness against the celebrity, and more. One has learnt over the years that any thought of controlling them is futile. Better then to tolerate this excessive intrusiveness and move on.

But to things more pleasant. Abhishek has driven down from Wai where he has been shooting for 'Bol Bachchan' just to see me home. The long arduous 5 hr journey by road and the traffic brought him in almost at the same time as when I drove in to Jalsa. He will drive back tomorrow morning to join the rest of the crew for shooting.

The staff had a satisfied look on their faces as a small traditional welcome is executed. As you stand by the entrance oil is poured out, water thrown down, the small 'arti' and the 'tika'  and you step in to the house. Of course the first stop is at 'Prateeksha' and a small prayer at the temple their, built by my Father before moving on.

Customs and rituals play such an important part in all our lives, details of which have been conducted through generations and the centuries without change in belief. Culture brings with it a certain piousness. It may not mean much, but somewhere inside it does create a sense of respect and belief that all shall be well.

 

The days in the Hospital are always designed according to the nature of the ailment, its diagnosis and its possible elimination and cure. But really, and this I speak through tremendous experience, it is the period after the Hospital has done its bit and sent you home that the actual test and trial begins. The test of dealing with the after effects, the lack of usage of essential faculties, precautions, medications that shall continue unabated and the control that needs to be exercised by the body. Contending with all this is an altogether different hemisphere, one that needs attending to and with utmost sincerity. The 'dos and dont's' charts that accompany you now read like a thesis on man management. neglect it and be sure that the environs form where we have just been released shall be welcoming us again, God forbid.

Fresh and new methods of how we need to conduct our life and our body shall prevail, which shall be different from what we had been doing for so many years almost routinely. The brain takes a while to adjust to this new time table of activity, but it needs to be done. Gradually and with great precaution, how you climb the steps to your room, or the speed and swiftness with which you may be required to get into your bed and out of it shall go through an entire change, the dietary changes and so on … Its painful to realize that 'you can't do this', 'you can't do that'. For me in particular the 'can'ts' have been so large in numbers, that now there are very few things left within the system that 'can' be done …

But ..

I have often reiterated the marvelous positives of our system and how despite all that it goes through, it still amazes me, how much of the regeneration and repair is still left by the medical professionals on the ability of the body to fight back and repair on its own. Its a tribute then in a sense to the creator, or whoever it was that built us.

 

Retire dear ones for it is late and I must to rest as well ..

Good night !!

Amitabh Bachchan 

Just an example of how media and paparazzi block your my car, not allowing it to move, insensitive to the need of its just released ailing occupent to get home secure and as rapidly as possible ..

Big B discharged from hospital

Big B discharged from hospital

MUMBAI: After 13 days of hospital stay, actor Amitabh Bachchan went home on Thursday late evening. He was recuperating at Seven Hills Hospital in Marol after being operated upon for hernia.

Doctors treating the superstar said he was "doing well" and after a few days of rest he should be back on his feet. Bachchan was operated for bilateral inguinal hernia, a condition where soft tissues protrude through weak spots in the abdominal wall and cause pain. Bachchan's son Abhishek and wife Jaya accompanied him on his way home.

Bachchan had to undergo back-to-back surgeries to repair the dual hernia he was diagnosed with. During the hospital stay, the actor was also administered mild doses of antibiotics and protein intravenously owing to his liver's vulnerable condition. He could have gone home few days after the hernia surgery but doctors kept him under observation for a few days as his liver functions were "little weak".

He tweeted on Thursday, "The beauty of taking a shower without the tapes and wires and bandages .. it's like being reborn". Earlier, Bachchan had blogged about the pangs of living with a 6 inch needle entrenched in his neck vein.

Doctors relieved him of tubes on Wednesday after which he could walk around comfortably. He was allowed to take discharge on Wednesday itself when doctors figured he was healing well. Bachchan, in his blog, had said how there were two incisions on the lower belly. "They (the incisions) look clean and neat, but obviously a presence you would rather not have among the already rather congested stomach," he blogged. The actor may not have to visit the hospital for follow-ups as it will be taken care of at his residence.

This was the fourth surgery Bachchan had to undergo since his near-fatal intestinal injury in 1982. He was gravely injured during the filming of Coolie in one of the fight scenes. The accident had ruptured his spleen and had caused significant blood loss and eventually gave rise to serious liver problems. He had remained critically ill in hospital for many months, at a few times close to death.
