THE GREAT INDIAN #3

   

I was working in a Smart City project with a one of the top construction company of India and living in guest house provided by the company there were also very good facilities available along with the mess facility. From some days I was not feeling well, I did not like to eat anything or to drink anything, even though water I did not like. I started vomiting I was very unwell living in my guest house. I told my senior member that I was vomiting. He did not advise me anything but said to reach hospital as soon as I could, he would also meet me there.

I was diagnosed with covid-19 on 16th June, I was shocked to see my report of covid-19 and it was positive, I was weeping all the day calling my family, my relatives and friends and telling them that I am Corona positive, taking blessing of all the people. I was living alone in my guest house; some people told me that I would not live more, as I was tested positive with Corona. But some people also encouraged me to always think positive and maintain calm. My family was also in shock and my relatives also felt dishearten along with the neighbors.

Doctor advised me very calmly to get isolate and follow the precautions take medicines on time. Corona weekend my body within two days. After 1st and 2nd day I was doing nothing but weeping all the day and talking to doctors so many times whether I would be well or not. Doctor always encouraged me that I would definitely be well but at 19th June I was admitted in hospital as I was are not feeling calm.
In hospital my routine was to get up 5:00 a.m. in the morning, all my clothing, personal protective equipment changed along with bed sheet. After one hour nurses provide biscuits and tea. Half an hour later nurses gave me medicines. After one hour I got my breakfast generally it was daliya/oats. At 1:00 p.m. I got my lunch not a special one but it was a kind of healthy food with less salt and less in spice. There was not any special thing that we could not do in our home.
Again after someday I was diagnosed for corona and it was negative in report. Now I am also following same routine in my home that was I had to follow in hospital. I was tested negative now but there was a notice of isolation in my guest house. The Company supported me very much financially and emotionally, they provided me well quality of food and juices.
I felt that one would not die but got disturb very much. I suggest people to maintain calm and do not panic if one gets symptoms. I was dishearten but some people that was beside my bed in hospital was enjoying food, living normally, one will get symptom of Corona when one does not feel good or like ones food, water etc. Doctor suggested me to take coconut water at least once in a day and drink fruits juice that is rich in vitamin C like lemon, orange juice.

 Drinking too much hot drinks is not advisable by Doctors but one can do gargles once in a day but do not take much hot drinks as it is already very high temperature we are living in, it may affect the rest of the organs of the body. Doctors say Corona is not like a disease that one should get panic or feel discouraged but it is a symptom that can be cured easily. One can test oneself in home by checking ones breath, how many seconds one can stop it, if it is 20 or 30 seconds then one does not have any symptoms. I can be cured in my home but I was very panic and felt dishearten so doctor advised me to get admitted in hospital. Though, in hospital, they did not provide me anything extra that I expected from them. But they continue pumping glucose in my body, giving me medicines, food and drinks etc. Doctors suggested me to keep myself well immune, take vitamin D always from sun light, may take vitamins C tablets. Suggested not to use air conditioner nor drink any cold drink.
