2012-07-14 Attendees : Siddamma, Savitha, Bhaskar Siddamma visited us at our (Savitha and Bhaskar) place in Adyar Chennai for lunch. She came in around noon and briefly guided us in making roti using sprouted organic ragi, moong dhal, and other ingrdients. After lunch, Siddamma explained to us our current financial scenario and about Ashok. He was diagnosed with a cyst in his mouth which had worked its way into the bone. In the last few months he has been operated on to remove the cyst and one side of his jaw bone has been completely removed and all his lower teeth as well. First opinion on Ashok's surgery (as of 30th June 2012) : As the next step the doctors have suggested a bone grafting surgery that would require 15 days of hospitalization and three months recuperation after which they will be implanting the lower teeth. The estimate for the bone graft surgery is 4.5 lakhs. We promised to help her out personally and work with Asha Austin to get support in whatever way we can.
