{UAH} PLEASED AS PUNCH
Robert Atuahirew-
-- I am as pleased as punch today because the cardiologists at Imperial College Hospital, London gave me the results of the heart examinations I underwent a few months ago, and they gave me (or precisely my heart) a clean bill of health. I was not very worried myself, but my children were scared to death when the consultants told me that the prognosis for a sarcoid attack on the heart is not very good- that the patient can expect to live for only 2-3 years, and so thats why they wanted to eliminate it completely, which they have done today morning, so I am now referred back to my local hospital for regular monitoring.
The professors were very jolly- I think because of the nature of their work- trying to bring people back to life, or preventing them from being recalled in an abrupt manner by his almighty- they make very light of the heavy responsibility they carry. I have now come to admire heart doctors, even though they never operated on me. When I complained to the professor I feel chest pains and breathless after exertions, he jumped up from his chair, stabbed his middle finger at my chest, and proclaimed " THAT'S AGE, MY FRIEND. NOT YOUR HEART. IT IS AGE. YOU ARE NOT GROWING YOUNGER.!!!!
So I have now overcome two major scares, about my eyes, and now my heart. I think my life will come back to normal. I am not really worried about death. I am one of the few people on earth who accepts their mortality; I think I have done enough good on earth- on a balance sheet, I see no reason why God should not admit me into his Kingdom, even though I have rejected the manifestation of his glory and majesty through the medium of organised religion, which I regard as a collossal con and fraud. It is only my children I worry about- my daughter has not been able sleep for these past two days waiting for the results of my tests.
Actually, the only thing that worried me, when the cardiologists told me of a possible life expectancy of only 2-3 years, was that this amount of time may not be enough to get rid of the kayibanda tyranny in Uganda. My biggest regret would be to die and leave Kayibanda in situ, terrorising the people of Uganda as he has been doing for the past 35 years. Thats what I dreaded most- dying and leaving Museveni Kayibanda as head of the country that God forgot. Thats why I was beginning to think of a short term fix- how to clinically and professionally eliminate Kayibanda, and let others deal with the mess in my absence, instead of laying down the foundations for a deep and thorough-going purge of the NRA and its franchises and infrastructure in our country, which will involve a violent armed struggle in the short term, and a ruthless rebuilding thereafter, all of which will take a generation or more.
So you can see why I am as pleased as punch.
Please tell Kayibanda Museveni his worst nightmare is still in place. Tell him I am back, and I am here to stay!!!
