4. The Actual Surgery Date

After waiting for few days, 10 April 2020 was given the date for surgery. All the tests have been done on the day before. He was told he can only eat/drink till 10 PM of the night.

We were told he would be sent to the operation theatre by 0700 hrs. The service bus wouldn’t reach before 0900 hrs. We didn’t had our four wheeler here in Lucknow.

So we rented a self driving car previous day and reached by 0630 hrs. It was going to be long and tought day. Papa was ready to go to the operation theatre.

After he went inside, it was just a long wait. Brain surgery is one of the most critical surgery of all. Even a small mistake would have big consequences. The area of brain being operated was left frontal temporal lobe.

This area majorly includes, not limited to, functions like speech comprehension and memory. Operating this area would affect the personality a lot.

The clock was ticking very slowly. Time wasn’t passing at all. After very long wait of 5 hours he was shifted to ICU. Attendant called us when he gained consciousness and told us we can meet him one by one.
