Admission: 🏥
That day
was Aug 14, I have already had lot of suspect that I might have been exposed to
the virus. But I am sure that I have not had done testing yet.
I was not
active and very dull and on and off with fever until that, it was again
continuing with additional symptoms.
I am
clear that now I need to go for testing. I went on to the testing on 14th
morning, I told them that I am having fever, skin allergy, not being active,
cough and dizziness with little body pain too.
They took
me to a place there where some swab units... Two sticks were given to me and I
had to take it with me, one guy came and inserted one into my nose and other to
my throat. Not a deep insert. It was just a touch. That is it, they asked me to
leave and told if I have virus, I will be informed.
I waited
for two days and in the meanwhile I called a doctor nearby and told I am ill.
He prescribed me tablets over phone, he messaged me the tablet names those I must
buy from pharmacy. It was helpful. doctors are really great since they haven't
charged me, they were happy to help everyone during pandemic without any
expectations
I am glad
that I got few medicines and I hoped I would not get the bad result of my
testing.
On Aug
16, my result was positive, you know what, my in laws started to cough and on
and off with fever since when I went for testing.
I
thought, okay its all gone, nothing in my hand.
I guessed
they might have been exposed too. Was that my mistake? Oh yes! then whom should
I blame... I do not have an idea and I do not bother to find out as I already
know it was from my wife's office contact. She used to tell me most of them
were already exposed to the virus and they felt happy too. I wonder how they
can be happy for this!
Okay,
none of my business. I always want not to interrupt in other's interest. It
could be my son or wife or friends or colleagues. It's all about their own way
of loving things. In this case, her colleagues might love the virus and its
completely their choice.
It was
pretty known that my wife and son already fell ill two / three weeks ago when
she felt that she was exposed too, I was the one who shut her mouth down and
not to tell anything in negative aspects... My words had a power. Both cured in
two days. Thank god.
all of us
are really scared about this thing, a new enemy to the world which destroys
health and dream... For many, their life...
This
idiot was a spread, pandemic, quarantine, lock down... Came like in the form of
many new words and sentences... I haven't heard anything till 2020.
It was
fun at the beginning when I was allowed to be at home for 28days... But then,
after months, hey life - I need some good air and i need to catch up with my
friends... I am always fond of those two crispy chicken pieces... I need them
once in a month at least. I haven't got it for months and I feel like i need it
badly to my stomach.
Is it
healthy? - if it is crispy, then it is healthy.
Never
mind.
Okay
getting back to the 16th Aug. I have been tested positive and there was a fight
when my wife's dad took my son with him to the room where my mother in law was
continuously coughing.
I just
told him not to get near her and why should I be silent when I see him taking
the kid with him to the same room where she coughs without the mask on.
It was
nobody's fault. I meant the virus in the body. But we should keep in mind that
we should not be the reason for other's getting affected. I now got an idea, I
am going to be strict, I opened my voice, told them strictly to follow what I
am saying, otherwise it is not going to be normal. I told them up front.
But it
was not really hard, because I didn’t even scold anybody directly, till my wife
shouted back at me when I told her that her dad took the kid inside the room
even after listening to my advice. She told I am being strict. I cannot adjust
to the situation.
I got it
to my mind. If I am silent, I will be the one who suffers. Because I am always
in the position to take care of the whole family in person. Need to track them,
on everything.
It is not
easy task. People who are with me and my parents who lives 500kms away. I shout
at them too when they go out without informing me. Being strict is not a
profitable way. It is the safest way to save people from bad situations. So, I
am not bad. I do good. Whoever thinks bad about me, I do not bother, I just
want to make sure all of them and the situation goes well. That is my aim. I am
on it.
After
that fight, I informed my wife, I shout for your all safety, not to hurt you.
This is serious, I am now with the virus and your mom is coughing. No one
should go near me/ her.
That's
rule. You all stay separately with no touch. I am going to hospital, I said.
I started
to hospital where I already planned few months ago. To my question, if I were
exposed to the virus, where I should go?
I already
analysed lot of data and I had been collecting lot of information from the
Internet about safest place to treat covid.
As a
result, I went to siddha hospital camp, saligramam, Chennai.
I got the
admission and I went to ward 9, there was a centre bed free for my
accommodation.
I took
that. I was with 8 other people surrounded across other social distancing beds.
I am
okay, I have to be here for the treatment. It was a college, so it was okay.
Not a government hospital.
Dr.
Veerababu, popular person on TV who is treating the patients in that camp.
He is an
excellent professional and good hearted too. I liked the way he administrates
the patients. All his team members inherited his good character, a serving
mentality, all of the surrounding were positive vibrations. I am happy too. I
am sure I will be covid negative soon. Thank god, I had this data analysing
capacity.
Analysis
- is it worth to do? 🔎
I have
been in the IT more than 10 years, my profession is to make a product,
basically a solution building. In depth, it is collecting lot of information,
put together, clean, filter, segregate, organise and utilise it for building
any new feature or functionality.
If you
can't understand what i have told about my 10% of job above then you assume
that I collect information from multiple users, sources, analyse and I float on
them.. Finally, to deal with it in a greater shape of solution.
since I
am always used to this, I always gather information. But in this case, even a
doctor is not sure on his words. Because this is a new story to the world.
Unread one to everyone. They are all reading it without a pause.
It's hard
to come to a point where you decide what to do. Nothing, it's just a stream of
water and you are the leaf floating on it, if you have luck you are safe. But
there are few more points too. Not only luck, you have to be a moving leaf
which can fight with precautions...
I
analysed lot of information about this and kept on reading how to prevent. I
started using siddha powders right from March. I practiced it in my come, I
forced all to take them weekly thrice. Guess, that helped us on immunity
boosting. I believe that I am almost safe only because of doing those
preventing steps.
Other
than that, it was quite hard for me to collect information about this virus
since it's new and no one has an idea.
They are
all processing with it and without it.
People
were happy that I gathered few information about how to prevent and what must
be done if someone is affected... Where to go and how to heal. All months ago.
Why we
need to learn to adjust
I like to
eat hot and taste different meals thrice a day. Sorry, we all love eating
foods. I am one of us. I need tasty food.
But in
this situation where there of my family members including me got the fever and
only my wife is all alone to cook, take care of households, looking after my
son, cleaning home, talking to corporation authorities and etc.,
Can you
imagine how hard it is for her to manage all alone at once all of a sudden?
It is
hardest thing I have ever seen in my life.
For an
example, in any normal case, one of our family members will fall ill, we will
take care of the one and share the work within us.
But, this
corona case is vice versa. All of us will fall ill and only one left out should
take care of all including all a to Z works. If you have kid, you are all done.
No words to save your energy and peace of mind.
I am
completely down by seeing my wife doing all the work all alone. I cried in my
inside. But this has no other solution. It has to be dealt and pass.
When I
was at home during 14th to 16th, I asked my wife to do what she could do and
with very minimal work effort.
Like,
preparing food once and reheating it thrice for three times a day while eating.
Reheating
and reusing food. Cook food once and serve it thrice a day.
This will
really save her a lot of time. Not only time, the cooking, cleaning and
processing efforts.
What else
I can do.. I can my things by my own. For an instance, I can wash my clothes by
my own and drain the same with washing machine's usage. I may not need her for
this.
A week in
hospital 🏥
Hospital
- preferably corona camp, I was treated for 6 days. On the first day, I met the
doctor who is like a king there. Of course, he is as he knows how to save life.
He
touched me just like the normal infection when I told my symptoms, I was
amazed. What a man! When the whole world scares about this virus and use PPE
kit, this doctor and their helpers are causal like any other day. Am I in any
other planet 🌏 where there is no clue of corona virus?
I didn't
want to know. I just a place like this. But it is not my home, I am patient, I
should not forget that... My aim is to leave as early as possible with my body
back to normal condition. Will I? - I will... My mind said.
My whole
world gets struck here... Listening to number of new patients every day and
sometimes heard the dead count from news websites. I was worried and panic too.
By the
way, my mind was really not there, it was completely surrounded by my wife and
son, in laws and parents... What are they doing now... I know my wife and mom
cried when they knew that I am positive of corona. Now, will they be okay?
After few phone calls with them, I came to know that they are now somehow
satisfied as I am in a right place for the treatment.
She is
handling everything all alone. She should get tired, if I am near, I would have
helped her. But, it is difficult.
I already
saw my wife was sometimes irritated as she couldn't manage the kid and all
households single handed. It is basic, I will be also reacting the same if I am
put in her shoes.
She
should be okay, god! Give her a strength.
One day
over. now, my in laws got the results, I was informed that my kid and wife are
negative. I am finding someone to thank for this. That someone is none other
than my favourite gods/Lords/almighties... Whatever u want to call.. I wish to
worship...
But,
still can't be happy, my father in law had an issue last year on his lungs.
What should I plan now. Let me call and check.
She told
my parents are going to Ekkatuthangal, corporation wants to check their body...
Via a screening method to find how deep the virus affected their bodies.
I didn't
do this as I am on 30s. Since they are above 55, they must. Anyways, father in
law (fil) got scared after hearing this and he was not as confident as he was.
I could
also hear the shivering when mother in law (mil) was talking to me over phone.
They are not allowing us to siddha. Could you talk to them, mil told to me
Ya sure,
I can talk and convince, connect to them.
Sir, we
cannot allow them as they have mild infections, may be your mil will be allowed
to siddha as she likes. But not your fil as he is aged and he must be
transferred to KMC, kilapuk general hospital.
Is there
a chance that I can have them here, I will be taking care of them... I said
No sir,
that is not the instructions given to me. I cannot allow. You talk to them
Okay,
they are telling you both have to be in KMC, you are going with him?
they want
you to be with him as you might be his support, that is what they felt when I
talked to the representative.
Mil
replied, no no i cannot, I want to come there to saligramam. He must manage
alone. Lot of shivering on her voice.. I know both of them are scared and
afraid of the future 🔮. I assumed what would my fil react to this. Will
he agree to her point?
Let's
wait to hear... After 30 mins. My father told he is fine to move to KMC alone, my
wife said
Great!
Then ask them to start ASAP. Evening, both of them are admitted as planned.
Minimum 5
khasayams ➕ symptomatic allopathy treatment ➕ food ➕ sprouts ➕ physical
exercises
I am
almost okay on day 6th. But my fever and tiredness are still there. I am
completely fed up with that.
Breakfast
and dinner are 😋 delicious. But I could not manage the lunch. It is
not like what I have usually. It is my mistake I am in corona camp, not at any
holiday spot.
I am
thankful to the government and the excellent people who treated me well.
Who is
hero
There are
lot of youngsters less than 25 years... They are called as volunteers.
They are
real heroes... They serve food, helpers, nurse, instructors, care takers and we
everything. They don’t care themselves and work for others. Servicing mentality
is the key.
If I get
a chance to help them once, I will really do the best if I meet them in future.
They did not expect anything from anyone, they treated everything and everyone
as their own family members.
Big
Salute!
Like how
Chennai never leave people alone in any worst situation, so these guys!
My huge
respect 😍
On my day
5, mil is still tired, when I asked her she told blood test was taken and it
has to be verified with doc... I took her to doc with the report, doc told all
fine, you can leave after 2 days. You will be alright. But even after 7 days she
is not well, there were 5 injections back to back on her last two days at the
camp. She got some confident post that her health is little stable now. Of course,
tiredness is the issue, it is never relieved yet. Hope, it will be okay in 20
days, that is what everyone said, once infected, the impact will be there for
20 days at least. Let’s see.
Thank
god! Almost safe.
Meanwhile,
I called fil 2 days once, as usual, I could not get anything out from him.
Just two
words... Okay nga, sapten ‘nga...
But that
was not really my conversation intended. When someone is in hospital and if you
call, what would you expect as a general enquiry?
A short
story on what happened to them... I was putting lot of questions and ideas to
him.. But again, he won... I Couldn't hear anything else than those two
words... As mentioned above.
As long
as he can answer those two words back to back without a gap when you put up a
questions.. You assume that he is alright. I assumed that and went for good
sleep every night. he is always an ultimate. Always a fun factor 😁
Thank god
he is in safe position too.
Lunch and the break
On
day 6, I am tired of that lunch. Need some tasty food 🍲. I went
down after talking to my roommate that I will need a dosa. He asked me to get
down and request the heroes (volunteers)
I saw the
junior doctor sitting in a desk. I directly told him I am now okay can I leave
to home?
He told,
of course you can. You look good... Are you really okay?... I said, I am tired
and fever on and off. Doc replied that it will be fine when day passes by.
One lady,
caretaker, she added, your mil cannot be discharged, you can go.
Ya I
know, I said
She will
be here until she feels okay and her health restores
They
agreed and I left the place with lot of thankfulness...
Day
12
Fil is
back home
He is
fine.. No symptoms. I asked him to isolate until 2nd sep.
Day 13
Mil is
back home. Tired a little, like me, She is also affected
Me and
her are victims. energy drained...
But so
far okay, we will retain the energy soon. Let us hope for the best.
In my
early 30s, I am sure that this virus cleaned my whole energy ⚡..
I need to
boost up from scratch. Same applies to most of them got affected.
Thank
god, we are safe and hope for good future 🔮. Thankful to all who helped us
including corporation volunteers, representatives, my house owner, nearby shop
and etc.,
Let this
be a bright beginning again and we all will come out of this soon.
Thanks to
all who cared me when they came to know about this situation.
I am
thankful to all my care takers, doctors, relatives, friends, colleagues, and my
own family members who was with me in this.
My
strength 💪 will be soon restored. I am optimistic and
confident in that.
My Request to all of you
You may have big dreams, lot of opportunities, extreme good experience and exposures of practical life. But make sure your temporary goal is to protect yourself and your family 👪
Don't ever think that government should protect you, they are already doing great job. Even though lockdown is lifted, you yourself ensure that you have your own way of lockdown until this comes to an end.
Eat healthy
Drink healthy
Go herbal and organic
Boost your immune system
Do exercise
Keep your mind free and stress free, this is now become a major illness. Mind strength is most important than anything.
Give confidence to your family and surroundings
Spend time with what you like and stay safe
Take care of elders and kids
Good
wishes to all,
Jey,
Chennai
