Happy mornings!

1. Happy Mornings!

2. What is the view that you wake up to in the morning? Is it the garden? Is it a sunrise view? Or is it just the sight of the people you love? Most of us wake up to the same view every morning – a view that heralds the start of our day and helps us greet the day with a smile. A good start to the day, after all, is about waking up in familiar surroundings. Shiv Prabhakar wakes up to one such view every morning – the view of his carefully cultivated garden.

3. Shiv’s favourite morning activity is tending to the plants and flowers in his garden. Every morning, as soon as he woke up, he would spring out of bed and look at the plants in his small backyard garden, shining with dew drops in the faint morning sunlight. He would then rush down and tend to his plants for an entire hour before resuming other daily morning activities and having his well-earned breakfast. This was his everyday routine and without this he couldn’t start his day on a good note.

4. One day, after completing his morning routine, Shiv started experiencing a sharp weakness in his body. Being the meticulous man that he was, he decided to get himself checked immediately. After a thorough checkup, the doctor told him gravely that there were signs of cancerous cells in his body and to have any chance of a normal, healthy life again, he needed to get himself admitted for chemotherapy.

5. Shiv was crestfallen. He didn’t understand how, in spite of not having an unhealthy lifestyle, he had managed to get cancer. As he adjusted his mind to the situation he thought about the next few days when he would have to stay in the hospital overnight..

6. Who would look after his garden? Years and years of careful horticulture would all go to waste. He did not trust anyone else to be able to take care of the beautiful, exotic plants that were now blossoming colourful flowers in his backyard

7. He asked the doctor if there was any way that he could get his chemotherapy sessions done at home. The doctor heard his situation and then, after some thinking, told him that if he could get professionally done chemotherapy at home then he would not be in any danger. One such option was the Chemotherapy at Home service of HealthCare atHOME India. The doctor gave him some details and Shiv wasted no time in finding out how he could avail these services.

8. That day, Shiv went home feeling much better than how he had felt after news of his cancer. He felt that he would definitely survive the battle, especially if he stayed in the happy surroundings of his home. When he awoke in the morning, Shiv felt happy looking at his flowers and knowing that they would stay just as beautiful now that he was going to be home. Indeed, watering his plants and smelling the fresh flowers set Shiv on a happier, speedier road to recovery.
