Beta, aaj ghuTno ka dard itna ki bahu bulani padi! Koi injection hai ya nahi?

Beta, aaj to bahut dukh ho raha hai. Teen din se ghuTno me dard itna badh gaya ki bed se uthte waqt bahu ko bulana pada. Wo to karti hai, par aankhen dekh ke hi pata chal jata hai—"ab phir kya hua?" Dil toTta hai. Kal subah sabun bhi nahi le sakti thi muh dhone ke liye, bahu ne chidh chidh kar diya. Arthritis ki dawai—paracetamol aur ek gel—se kaam nahi chal raha. Doctor ne knee replacement ka kaha tha, par bahu kehti hai "abhi time nahi hai, surgery me risk hai."

Mujhe ek hi sawaal hai: kya koi aisa injection ya medicine hai jisse zameen par baithne ki zaroorat na ho? Main to western toilet hi use karti hoon, par ghar me koi aur nahi hai. Bahu kehti hai "amma, aap to roz naya nakhra karti ho." Par ye nakhra nahi, majboori hai. Koi batao, is umar me itna dependent kyun rehna padta hai? Kya koi aisa ilaaj hai jo mujhe thoda aur khud-mukhtar bana de?
