Day 4: It came with an even bigger bladder problem along with no stool passage. My bladder was full and full as in 1450ml ml full/ I was afraid it might burst. I had to go for feeding tube once again. In the evening I had to ask for an enema to be performed. Now since it was a Sunday and doctor Sharma had already told me a day before that he might not be available for Sunday morning and if needed I can contact him or duty doctor if any problem occurred. I now talked to the duty doctor and asked him to consult with doctor Sharma regarding my stool and bladder problem. Now my duty doctor after consulting about my problem with doctor Sharma came to the conclusion that a feeding tube should be used to empty my bladder for now and later a urinary catheter should be placed until next morning by when my case shall be discussed with specialists of the concerned departments and a final solution should be found out. Now on my request, my duty doctor permitted me for an experiment which came as an idea during our mutual medical discussion regarding my problem which was that it might just be a simple postural problem. And guess what it was? Yes, you are right I passed my first stool and much more importantly I urinated all by myself without any tube and believe me the feeling was of an extreme pleasure. 
One thing good that came well out of all this was that it kept me from thinking about my surgical pain.

Actually, I have some relatives in India who did research for me. He has been the lead surgeon on many of Dr. Singari's patients. Plus Harry was a very important factor. I talked to many doctors in India and outside but he understood the process of recovery well. Because after surgery recovery is what matters the most. Not many Physiotherapists understands the needs of an LL patient. Since I am from medical fraternity and understand the insiders deal well thus I came up with this decision.
I have already extended more than 3 cms now, so pain isn't much of an issue now. 
I mentioned about this at the beginning of my diary. Thanks for all the support
In total, I paid USD 14000 for surgery and three months stay inclusive of X-rays and food.

What about average food & xray per plate cost ?

I have a package inclusive of everything, so don't have that information. If you mean food from outside than I believe it depends on your food habits. But as a rough estimation, you can take something between USD 18 to 60 for 1 person from an okay restaurant.
Flashback Point: My surgery took more than what it was intended and had my mother crying and shouting in the hospital lobby over staff for my update. Technical glitches extended my surgery by sometime. But my mother was all furious and her tigress had just come out in open sensing her cub was in trouble. I am sure that not just me but the whole hospital must have had the most difficult time of their work life. 
On the 5th day, I was shifted to the guest house where I made some changes as to my wish. Had a freshly bought linen put on the bed and new pillow covers as well. I never trust hotels or guest houses with the linen. Yes, you can say that being a doctor you do develop certain freakish habits like not being able to trust anyone but you when it comes to cleanliness etc. But don't even dare to use terms like OCD here...hahaha because that is like a whole different level.
Now I was having an urge to urinate and like always everyone was telling me that I would be able to pass urine in a urine jug or something even though I was pushing against it and guess what happened? Yeah, my "Pee-Pee" Cheesy Cheesy stood tall with its proud owner and everyone had to bend to my way which was to allow me to use the lavatory and allow nature to do its own job and boy what a pleasurable feeling we get while we all humans, as well as animals, get when we do it.
