You must be bionic or something..

Or so said the Nurse last night at the Kaiser emergency room..

In a surprising turn of events, the surgical scar in the right hand had a small rip and pus started coming out.

Worried that the right hand was rotting on the inside, a trip to the hospital regular care ended up being redirected to ER.

Two hours later the doctor looked it up under a lens and lights and said

"your body is not degrading the bio-degradable sutures. instead it is attacking the small pieces left with white blood cells"

Apparently not uncommon!

They pulled out a small suture piece and cleaned it up and sent me home with antibiotics..

Interesting, to say the least!

Birthday month, here we come..

The first grand bash of this month was done today!

The girls turn(ed) 9 and 6 on either side of this weekend!

The kids had a great time with all their friends and played in a Gym. They love this place so much that they want to keep having their birthday parties here year after year.

The best part of this birthday?

The kids have turned a major milestone this year. They have learned the art of emotional blackmail. They called their "Bombay Thatha" on the phone repeatedly and said "Grandpa, you have not been here for a single one of of our birthdays. Please come at least for this one".. etc. etc. This happened repeatedly over many weekends that Grandpa gave in and booked tickets for a short 3 week trip!

In other words, they have succeeded in making their puppy face technique work on another male member in the family. Needless to say, it always works on me.

Now we just have to wait for Daddy and Mommy to turn 29 and 29 in another two weeks!

Trick or treat

The little one seems to have a problem with the world in general, not to mention special issues with posing for daddy..

This is all we could manage after getting her to smile.

Jr. on the other hand totally enjoyed going out today.

All thanks to mommy for taking them out to the cousin's neighborhood for trick or treating. Daddy did not do a thing except stay home and dole out two candies, yeah, two candies, one each to the two four year old's who showed up over a 2 hour period!

Guess a street without street lights or a pavement does not invite many kids. Also the kids in the street have practically all gone to high school or college. That explains the drop in candy seekers in our area!

The kids are both at an age where they appreciate dressing up and love candy. Judging by our friends kids, guess we have just two more years before Jr. starts losing interest in this thing.

Until then, time to capture Halloween in pumpkin and costume pictures!
