Another Satsang with Ammani this morning. On the road, I saw somebody hitchhiking. I stopped and gave him a lift. I have seen him before, but never talked to him. Still don’t know much about him. He was born in Siberia; his parents are from Siberia and the Ukraine. So we were sitting for 90 minutes in silence. Time feels passing fast here. I wanted to meet Gopika for lunch, but she cancelled the appointment because she still didn’t feel well.
I was back home for a moment, then I went to The Inner Child Restaurant, where Sarah would be. When I arrived there, it was pretty busy. There was a bit of rain outside, and I had my raincoat already with me. Sarah had a place in one corner where I sat down and had some lunch, a veggieburger with fries. She had a massage this morning, but she still felt a strain in her shinbone (tibia). We talked about thrombosis when she got scared. I remembered when Yanti, my son’s half-sister, died from a pulmonary embolism after a long flight from Indonesia. I said that we could go to the hospital for a check. So we went there on my scooter, straight to the reception. Sarah explained her issue, and the lady at the reception said that a general doctor is available. We just walked into the emergency room. Immediately, a nurse prepared her bed, and a doctor came to check her. He said they could make a Doppler Test.
Thrombosis Doppler tests, specifically Doppler ultrasound, use sound waves to visualize blood flow in veins and arteries, effectively diagnosing blood clots (thrombosis) such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by showing blockages or a lack of flow. This non-invasive test helps identify clots by detecting changes in sound waves as blood moves, indicating whether veins compress normally or if there’s absent flow, which guides diagnosis and treatment for vascular issues.
The chief physician arrived. He also checked her leg but couldn’t see or find any difference from her other leg. He said a Doppler test is not needed; she is perfectly fine. Good news anyway. She only got a prescription for Calcium tablets.
We drove to Tasty Cafe for a chai. I haven’t been there this season. Last time I was there quite often for breakfast or at other times. The place changed completely. There were now solid walls and a roof; it was made of corrugated iron before. There was a lot of echo, and the nice paintings on the walls were gone. It just looked very sterile.
That’s how the day passed. I was in the Ashram, did some shopping and met Sarah for dinner in Sarala’s Cafe.
