Headache, literally and figuratively

Rajesh was admitted to the hospital after his headache took a turn for the worse and was accompanied by some dizziness. A scan of his head apparently revealed some growth/lesions. Subsequently, he successfully underwent surgery to remove the growth.

According to the doctors, his surgery was successful. He is recovering in the ICU and is heavily sedated to quell the pain from the surgery. The good news is that the doctors think it might just be some bacterial infection of the brain in the cerebellum area. Apparently, this is not very uncommon for people whose immune systems are compromised due to anti-cancer drugs. They believe they have cleaned up most of the infection. And any traces remaining can be treated with anti-biotics.

Let us all continue to pray that he faces this hurdle also as he has in the past.
