Swaranamma
Swaranamma is an old lady staying alone with a care taker Shushila. She is hemiplegia patient on left side for four years. She is in follow up with Pallium India since last eight months.
She can sit on a wheelchair but with support and need to arrange a wheelchair for in-house free movements. No other signs and symptoms apart from lymphedema on left hand and shoulder.
She is willing to work on the handloom machine at home but cannot do it herself. She is eagerly waiting to get free movements without support.
She has two sons, but only one who is a policeman is giving some support and other who is driver is not ready to look after her even after staying close by. She needs her TV to be fixed to pass her time at home, as otherwise she is not connected to outside world.
She replies, “I am very happy to have you all to support me in my bad time. I am obliged by the services offered by Pallium India and feel thankful for the same. The massage offered during the visit has really improved the hand swelling and reduced the pain. I want to walk one day and want to be independent.” With this words she was very positive about her status and hope she would recover faster from Lymphedema. But still since she is hemiplegic her movements will be restricted.
