How's it going on my health front?

I have visited four doctors during the last seven days after my primary doctor, Ms. Shanti Yerra examined me at her office (clinic). She directed me to a surgeon for examination of my boil on my back which of late had started troubling me. I had to go to Dr. Johnson for my prostrate too. My surgeon will now examine me next on the 7th of next month. My doctor for my prostrate thinks that if my free PSA blood test (results) keeps falling down there was no danger of cancer in my prostrate but if it does not then I am threatened with this disease. However, he was happy to note that my free PSA level had already dropped from 11.4 to 8 degrees. It should be down near 4 degrees, he says. Lets see and pray that it comes down to 4 in the coming 2/3 months. I wanted to go to Pakistan before the Ramadan Eid but it now depends on God if He allows me to go there and perform my youngest daughter's marriage to Hassan Butt with my own hands. I traveled to Kansas City too to file for the extention of my green-card and came back in the evening. Long journey it was but it had to be taken for my green-card limit was coming to an end on November 14th this year. They have accepted my requested. I hope to get a ten years green-card in the coming days. Youqeer, my son in London, is expected to speak to me to-nite on my green-card issue and if I get the permission in time I will celebrate Ramadan Eid with my son's family in London. It will be a big fun to see my grand children including the new born baby-son, Zain Ali Butt. l

My 68th birthday !!!!

My 68th birthday was celebrated by all my kids in a befitting manner. Rukshee was first to talk to me from Pakistan. Then it was Sarah followed by Omar. It was a good start of the day. A big party was arranged in Springfield by my family members here too. Penny, Sharon, Lori and Sandy were in my house to sing "happy birthday" to me. Penny, Sandy and Sharon brought me a pull-over, two pillows and a warm 'chadder' type wrap to cover myself during the winder time. Sandy also sent me a 50 dollor cheque and requested me to buy a broad toe shoe so that my left small does not hurt me when I walk. Shelbe and Alisha were also present from Lamar. Imissed Mona, Kiren and Jim on this occasion. I wanted to speak to Asif Butt in Narowal but the international telephone line did not help me. Now I will speak to him on Monday morning. I have to tell him as to where my illness stands at the moment. A young man from Narowal, Umar Riaz Bobuk, has written me an email after going thru my blog on the net. He was very happy that I don't hide my origion in Narowal. He was also happy that I had included an article titled "Great Sons of Narowal" in my blog.
