Evenings at the Ghat

By the Last Ferry, My Feet Have Outgrown My Sandals

The pattern keeps the hours of the ghat. First boat, my feet are fine, and I take the heavy crates without a thought. Evening is when it shows properly. The sandal straps leave deep lines in the skin. Twice this month I walked home barefoot, sandals in hand. I want her to hear the pattern whole. At a morning sitting, my feet look perfectly fine.

Telling Her Everything, From the First Load

She should get the full account first. When the swelling began. Which days the heaviness sits high in my belly. The pale stool, said plainly. I have kept almost no reports, because I have rarely been a patient. She will ask about my medicines and my work, examine me, and only then talk about what should happen next. If something she finds belongs in an operating room instead of her chamber, I would need another list. Manikganj's general surgeon listings sit on this same directory for that road.

No Skipping, No Doubling

I take one regular medicine, morning and night, and the strip travels in my shirt pocket onto the boats. A dose is never skipped because the ghat day got busy. It is never doubled because I feel worse by evening, either. The prescription came from a doctor who examined me himself. Until he looks again and says otherwise, the doses stay exactly where he set them. She will hear its name and times first thing, so nothing she plans clashes with it.

Trouble That Cannot Wait for the Morning Ferry

Swollen feet by evening, I have learned to live around. Other things would not wait for my booked day. Blood rising in my vomit. Stool turned black. My head suddenly unclear, or a sleepiness that hangs on me like a wet cloth. Pain in the belly that doubles me over. Swelling that arrives with breath I cannot catch. Any of those, and I do not go home to sleep on it. Hospital that day, or the family doctor if closer.

Asked on the Ghat Steps

My feet are fine in the morning and swollen by dark. Is that worth telling her?

Yes, the pattern itself. Say when it swells, what the day held, and that rest settles it by morning.

Is the colour of my stool something a doctor needs to hear?

Yes. Say it plainly, as you saw it, and since when. She has heard worse.

Do I keep carrying loads until I see her?

I still work, choosing lighter crates when I can. If a load beats you, tell her.

I have no old reports at all. Does that block the visit?

No. Take what you have, even one old prescription, and answer honestly.

Will she press on my belly during the examination?

Very likely, with a look at your feet too. A few minutes, and only a press.

If one evening I cannot catch my breath, do I wait for morning?

No. Breathlessness with swelling means that day itself. So do vomiting blood, black stool, a clouded head, heavy drowsiness, and severe belly pain. Hospital, at once.
