Happy New Year – my foot!

I was operated for a tumour in one of the bones of my left foot 12 years ago. The surgeon meticulously curetted it and refashioned the defect by harvesting some bone chips from my hip. Luckily, it was benign and I could walk again. I went on to train as a neurosurgeon, got married, had two kids, and travelled the world. I was leading a pretty contented life until I returned to Mumbai.
