Title: Diwali 2024
Post by: tempest63 on October 28, 2024, 03:36 PM
Diwali 2024 is upon us. I was wondering if anyone was planning the festival to do anything special.

I won’t be cooking until the weekend but am planning a chicken dish and a goat dish.
Not sure which yet.

Sorry to learn that, BHC.  For my part, a combination of advancing years, two sub-acute spinal fractures and recent open-heart surgery (replacement of aortic valve) have certainly diminished my interest in "mess[ing] around with food", but this is also accompanied by a significant loss in appetite so a single T/A curry (e.g., chicken Madras, pulao rice, saag aloo) will easily last me three days !

All is indeed well, thank you BHC.  Almost eight weeks post surgery, have been driving for the last four, and apart from aches in back and shoulder, all is well.

It's good to here you're on the mend Phil. My father had the same procedure coming up to 3 years ago now, at age 85. He took a fair while longer than you to recover so you're doing well.

Thank you Livo.  I've heard others say that it can take quite some time to recover, but my surgeon stressed that I needed to start taking exercise as soon as I could comfortably do so, and that I should aim to walk at least a mile a day.  I can now manage two to three miles without over-stressing myself, so I think that his advice was a major contributory factor to my recovery.  In fact, I went in to see a friend who was about to undergo the procedure earlier in the week, primarily to demonstrate to her that she should be well on the way to a full recovery within a couple of months.

I knew your propensity for excessive salt, sugar and most other bad stuff would get you in the end Phil. Good to hear you're on the mend though.

"Be sure your sins will find you out" — is that what you are saying, Santa ?!

I just popped online to see what was going on, as I do periodically and I read about your surgery. Wishing you all the best in your ongoing recovery Phil.

Kind regards,

Stephen

Indeed, but not being religious I would have put it more prosaically ... you are what you eat.

Thank you very much, Pap.  Apart from some residual pain in my right chest and shoulder, I seem to be healing remarkably well, and at only nine weeks post-surgery seem to be able to do very much all that I could do before ...
