I had gone to his office and once inside, he asked me to get him a newspaper. I opened his drawer and brought out an old British one. I do a lot of crosswords from magazines (to keep Alzheimer at bay supposedly) but when I looked at the paper the crosswords were far above my level and I told him so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next he asked about my health and I said \u2018not so good\u2019. \u201cYou should see a doctor,\u201d he insisted. \u201cI\u2019ve had enough of doctors\u201d, I replied, \u201cbecause listening to our doctors on the radio and meeting them in hospital is a different cup of tea altogether\u00a0; besides I can\u2019t afford to go private\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just then in walked his advisor and SAJ asked his advice on doctors. He suggested a couple of names and a female physiotherapist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While leaving I thought to myself, it\u2019s SAJ who needs the doctor, not me. He even saw me to the door and outside I saw my hubby. \u2018This is my husband,\u2019 I said \u2018he is Kissoondeeal but I am Babajee\u2019. Once someone told me dreams are just dreams and should be binned. Actually I\u2019ve never met SAJ but found it odd that I should have had such a vivid dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can afford to have at your disposal, Sir, an armada of doctors, nurses and physiotherapists but me, being a simple mortal, all I can say is \u2018Take care SAJ\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Mona.
