Day 9

Woke up feeling physically well, but mentally shell-shocked.

As I walked to practice the little stray puppy that hangs out by the Toyota Chowk who has always been completely benign, suddenly decided to attack – not teeth bared scarey attack – but little puppy jumping and nipping.I couldn’t seem to deter him, so I bent down to try and push him away and he then started jumping and nipping at my arms. I was aware it wouldn’t be a good thing for him to break the skin so in the end I had to just run away, much to the amusement of watching school kids!

Used the practice session today to cool the body down and recover some emotional equilibrium after yesterday’s trials. Today Guruji was being interviewed so I had my usual medical teacher, it was good to explore the work I’ve been set with less immediate pressure. I got the non-fasting c-peptide result back which was 0.14 ng/ml – a weeny rise from the fasting one. So just a flicker of life in the pancreas.

Moving apartment tomorrow, to one closer to the Institute right next to the park
