My grandfather has got fascial nerve weakness..and he complains of dizziness..(He is on antihypertensive therapy since 3 years…seems he has missed the dose- I checked out his bloodpressure, and it was 160/110).There were no other symptoms and signs..
I took him to one of my professors…got a CT scan done…Thank God!! There is nothing wrong intracranially. It was Bell’s palsy..
For two days, I didn’t get back to my books(except that I referred all my previous notes about CVA and added something to it). I had to look after my grandpa(get all the tests done, collect reports and get them checked by physician, consult an eyespecialist, take care about his medicines, because I cant let him miss another dose and complicate his condition) and my Aunt too…(she is pregnant-third trimester-with Gestational diabetes mellitus..since its time for a routine checkup, I had to accompany). So, for two days, I read nothing… but learnt a lot!!
But today…
I was with my books all day…but hardly learnt anything. Such a poor degree of attention..very bad
I wonder why I didn’t get up and get away, as I always do. (I usually don’t like to comprimise on the quality of my work, I would rather stop working..! Don’t know when I started doing things that are against my own interests)
After a very long time, Got another blank day(the word I usually use to refer to days like today–
Days that don’t add anything to the existing levels of knowledge, wisdom or happiness..
Days that are spent in worthless gossip..which can never make me truly happy..).
I swear I wouldn’t leave any day blank again.
Know what you mean. Hate blank days. You end up feeling damn frustrated. Unfortunately, I tend to have a lot of them.
Blank day?
There never is one.
You may not be hitting the books,
but your mind did not stop working, did it?
You need ‘blank’ days like these
to let your new found knowledge
soak into your neurones.
What you find in books
is someone else’s writings,
you have to transform it into knowledge.
Not just by reading or learning by heart
but by really understanding what you read.
If you didn’t stop thinking,
it wasn’t a wasted day.
