Amitabh Bachchan's health has shown considerable improvement after abdominal surgeries earlier this month. The megastar's post-surgery pain has reduced and doctors, satisfied along with his progress, have allowed him to take a bathtub and feature a greater intake of food.
"The meetings of the morning with the team of doctors will also be essentially the most trying for the patient... But happy to notice that they seemed satisfied with the progress and after a couple of closed-door discussions, came back with a couple of points that will bring relief to any sufferer," Amitabh posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com Monday night.
The 69-year-old veteran is admitted to the Seven Hills Hospital here since Feb 11. He underwent two abdominal surgeries, following which he complained of acute pain, forcing doctors to maintain him under observation ever since.
His pain has now reduced, wrote Big B, adding: "ASIDE FROM the physical pain of the surgery, there's now a discount in most other pains. The 'central line' immersed within the neck is a large bother - it being at the side of the neck - the side I sleep upon."
He detests dressings. So he was relieved when doctors decided to let the injuries be
"Since the wounds, both about 10 cm in length, had healed well, they decided to maintain clear of to any extent further dressings and indeed suggested that I should try to shower within the morning - the water having supposedly no effect.
"Now that may be going to be a slightly large experiment chest downwards, for the neck still has the needle immersed deep and can perhaps remain so for some days. A number of the medication is being administered through there," he added.
On Monday, sources had indicated that gigantic B may well be discharged "in an afternoon or two". But from Amitabh's post, and details of the 'central line', it seems that the stay may well be extended further.
However, there's definite improvement in his health.
"Also there may be indication of increased food intake and to get more mobile," he posted.
