Shri Nathji’s urine stream becomes very weak, and Priya Nath telephones the leading Urologist of Delhi, Dr Rajan Mathews, who says it could mean a narrowing of the urethra or an enlargement of the prostate requiring further surgery and hospitalisation. The news hits Priya Nath like a bolt of lightning from the blue.“Priyaji“Priyaji, have you shut off the gas?”Shri Nathji speaks to S.K. Joshi of Kanpur and his wife and daughter-in-law for over an hour without fatigue, but after the speech goes to sleep, apparently tired. There is an ominous swelling on Shri Nathji’s ankles and feet.“An operation is out of the question,” says Dr. Corolli, the heart specialist, “it can be very dangerous in Shri Nathji’s heart condition!”“Operation“No operation will be required. It will become all right with home treatment.”And Shri Nathji’s words were to ring out to be true. Over the years from 1986 till 1992, no operation was ever required, even though the urine stream became thinner and thinner in a very distressing, sinister way.
