She was suggested a minor operation for which she needed to stay in the hospital for only two days. Both me and Kuldip discussed the matter with the lady doctor and were reassured about the simple procedure. Fortunately, the surgery was uneventful and Reeta was discharged on the fourth day of the operation. After few days she started complaining of pain in the abdomen, which was of moderate to severe intensity and also fever. She had developed an infection in the abdomen and was again admitted in the ward.

Investigations revealed that she had developed abdomen sepsis and had to be operated. She lost a lot weight and her hemoglobin had come down to 7gm/dl and had to be given blood.

During operation, her abdomen cavity was found to be full of pockets of infection. It was a tough time for the surgeon and her. She was discharged after two weeks.

After a few months, she was again admitted for abdominal pain in Nehru hospital. She had to undergo another surgery. When her abdomen was opened her uterus and ovaries were completely damaged and were in a mess. The doctors had to take the painful decision of recovering the utero-ovarian mass and her vagina had to created again. Her uterus had been removed and she could never become a mother.

But in spite of this she never complained about her problem and condition.Geet was a determined young lady. She continued her education and completed her BA and B.E.d. She was successfully employed as a government school teacher and was happily married to a man who did not want any children.

I haven't met her since seventeen years but the news of her doing well and her being happy gives me a lot of peace and satisfaction.
