It was 23rd December, 2009 7 PM....We (me, mummy and papa) had reached the venue at 7 pm 'sharp'....
A flashback from December 14 came to my mind when he said "Be here at 7 PM SHARP and we would get it removed." It was the seemingly cute looking small black wart on my beautiful feet that he was talking about.
Another flashback and i went in October 2009 when the warts (yes plurals (there were 2) and not the singulars!!) had just shown up on my feet. They looked anything but harmful, let alone painful. I thought it was just some speck of dirt on my feet but it never went away even after washing it with phenyl, cif, Mr. Muscle, Pitambari and even by concentrated H2SO4!! And then in few days it started showing its true colours...
The black spot started paining as if i have stepped on a nail. The pain grew over time and it became way too much for me to handle. And then i decided enough was enough, i got up and went straight.......................................to the bathroom and peed (come on nature calls cant be barred or kept on waiting for too long!!, but then i saw dettol in front of me which gave me a flop idea...I poured some dettol in a tub of hot water and kept my feet in it. It didnt help a bit as expected with my super flop ideas. I again rose and went to the doctor but as u all know how lucky i am, the clinic was closed...I went to another doctor and he refered me to a skin specialist...
And then i was at the docs clinic, he prescribed a lotion a cream which cost me 660 Rs. and he took a hefty 250 Rs himself...but he said we may still have to remove it by RF....And he was so correct the warts never got any better and he finally gave an appointment to remove it on 23rd December....
A few footsteps woke me up from my mini slumber, the clock showed 7:15 pm, a fat woman entered the clinic with her gunda like husband...for a min, i got scared that he was hijacking the clinic...just then he thrust his hand in his pocket...clutching the sofa i thought he is gonna remove a revolver...but he removed 230 Rs....His wife went into a Radiation Room and locked the door..Blue light was seen coming from the room..dono what was happening in it...
And then it was 7:35 and the doctor finally arrived and i was called in....The machine or whatever was kept there looked like what they show in films to give shocks to mental patients....i laid down on the bed trying to bring some positive thoughts...and then he thrust the local anesthesia right into the first wart....I cud see Yamraj in front of me...the pain almost killed me...i should have taken a general anesthesia to take the local anesthesia....and just when i thought the torture was over he thrust anoder shot of the injection in the second wart...I now saw myself standing at the gates of yamraj....
Chanting hanuman chalisa in mind i thought now that the anesthesia has been given i wont feel d pain...but as usual i was wrong...The doc started the procedure and with the soldering ion he burned a hole in my feet...i could feel intense heat in my leg and moved a bit...Just then he said "dont move your leg.."...In my mind i said "Damn it you burned a hole in my feet just now and u are saying dont move..???!!!"...I tolerated the pain and mentally prepared for another round of crash and burn....He did the same on my second wart and this time i didnt move much as instructed...The procedure was finally over with he dressing up my wound and cleaning up blood..I got up and sat on the chair and thought to myself finally the chinese torture is over...But i was wrong again he said i need to take TT injection....I almost fainted with the thought of another needle being thrust into my body......
