I am home again! 3 years away seems like a lifetime. Much too long. The Delhi airport is complete. Art and beautiful hand sculptures greet those entering through customs. Airport wheelchairs look to be abundant, good to note for those needing assistance during travel. The hospital looks the unchanged and foreign at the same time. In the lobby signs mark milestones for NuTech, 10 years and 1000 patients strong. We are taken upstairs to a room I know well. It is the same room I shared with my mom our last trip. Some of my favorite people have stayed in this room as well. Once settle my body does not care I am in an industrial hospital bed. It feels safe, comfortable even. The bed is nothing like mine at home, yet it is just as familiar. The sounds of Delhi come like waves. Horns and cars ebb and flow while drifting stray dogs bark protecting their territory. Half way around the world an ocean of a different kind lulls my traveled body. I sleep like a baby.
The morning brings faces, both old and new, chaos and a revolving door. I am welcomed home. Today I am allowed to rest and greet the sisters, tomorrow tests will be preformed and treatment will begin.
