Time passed at its own pace. The moment of incident happened whenever anything probability was there to happen in life. Nothing is so sure to go on smoothly. Exactly one year passed but the traumatic memory still haunted to mind till now. So many questions are arising inside the conscience but no proper answers are there to solve the equations of problems. It was the time when second wave of Covid-19 variant spreaded throughout World. It was perhaps at its peak stage.The drastic surge of second wave of COVID infections in India started in Mid -March2021. No idea about its bad effect on the infections on health.At its peak the daily new infections reached about 4lakhs cases in the first week of May.It put immense pressure on the health systems across the country.
By that time i went to Max hospital, Vaishali on 19th April in relating to checkup the emergency case for my family . Again it was required to visit several more hospital for the availability of checkup . Due to lock down it was just not possible to visit to the opd sections also. On 22nd April my presence at Max hospital, Vaishali at late night was an horrible experience to see the scene at the out side of emergency department of hospital. More than one patients gathered irrespective of age bar to get an admit but unavailability of bed prevented most of the patients to wait at the outside. The impatience's of family members and the terrible trouble visible very clearly . The out cry of public and the anger created too difficult situation to maintain the hygienic atmosphere for the common people. After spending few hours i returned back to home around midnight. Soon some changes that i felt internally. Gradually the muscles pain started . Although i was used simple a mask to cover my nose only at the visit to Max hospital. Suspicion increased by the passage of time. Felt fever in the next moment. Isolated myself from others and took rest. On 22nd i went to take my first covishield vaccine for the safety point of view at Bimla Devi hospital by paying nominal charges.At the same day i went to Vermani hospital for testing RT-PCR test. Waited to get the result. By the passage of each day the complications increased . Due to strict indications for corona infections most of the opd sections of each nursing home and hospitals were not entertained . I took options by online treatment by Dr Kapila and Suarabh Chandra . Minimum medicines prescribed by them . Sooner congestion of throat and coughing started seriously. Finding no improvement in the situation, i contacted with so many friends and family members. Finally, confirmation of final report came online about my corona infection. Till 27th April trial was constantly on the progress for finding a bed in any hospital for taking nebulizer and oxygen supply .It was very tough and difficult to maintain the situation normal due to lack of proper treatment. On 27th April my brothers brought oxygen cylinder through their known sources . But, the result was short term. Through out Delhi and NCR it was steep problem for admission in any way. The excessive degradation of health problem pushed us to contact as many sources as possible but meagre result came out . So many WhatsApp messages circulated by that time through social network regarding the availability of bed for corona patients but the ground reality was different . Either the contact no was not validity or switched off whenever one would try to communicate with them. Perhaps the fake information spreaded as like a wild fire.In between we decided at least to try for making admission at Commonwealth games covid center. Information provided about the availability of oxygen cylinder for patients.While going through the Mayur Vihar -2 sudden plan changed and went towards Virmani Hospital.
At last i got a bed near by nursing home for treatment. Doctor agreed for admission but clearly informed for the lack of continuous supply of oxygen Still with the of getting bright hope for treatment we blindly took all formalities at normal room. After one day we shifted to deluxe room with better facility. But , there was no sign of improvement of cough and pain.
.
On 1st May 2021 doctor advised for ct scan. The hospital authority took me Vivek Vihar for a x-ray and ct scan. After waiting a long time my no came . I was exhausted and tired to sit in one particular chair for a long. Too weak to walk for a short distance also, after that they took me for an another test to near by location of M.V-2.Doctors treatment neither effected nor my condition improved within 2 days staying at that nurshing home. Finally , the team did not capable to diagnose my case and suggested to transferred to other high hospital where all facility would be avail. Throughout Delhi the situation was serious for pandemic cases of corona. Due to increase of patients number hospitals were unable to provide any bed at the worst emergency cases also.
Though oxygen level was fluctuated since 1st May, terrible throat infection and weakness made my health condition more serious. Finding no option we contacted for emergency treatment at kailash hospital, Noida by the reference of my brother. Since the staffs were very frequently took my case immediately but shifted to day care center for a while. Numerous injections and antibiotics provided as per the instructions of doctor. When time for day care over then we returned back to emergency counter.They denied to keep me for more longer due to rush of patients at emergency. Frequent checking of das board and other hospitals like fortish , max , yosoda , yatharth hospital , noida, the complexity increased by getting no response from all. Finding no way i sent my hubby to greater noida for a private hospital which my friend assured me for icu bed. Ultimately result was futile. PRO of kailash hospital assured us to provide a bed at late hour of 3rd May. Finally after a long struggle i got admitted at bed no 17 at night 2.30am.under the supervision of Dr Mrinal Bhargava.
The best efforts of the staffs of Kailash hospital helped to come stability in my health. Unable to talk much for even a short time made me difficult to communicate with others. The strong determination to stay cool internally gave me more scope to eat food in a regular way. Hospitals provided all medicines and eatables in a routine and strict time table. But , the most heart touching matter was that all the way my hubby took care too intesively of me. Consulted doctors team with utmost care for proper treatment so that i could feel better. The rest of the patients conditions at my hall were very pathetic. Their family members looked after them in a very sincere way. The whole scenario was a struggling stage for everyone.
The regular prayer and yoga practices by me at the bed influenced a lot to others also. Doctors pleased to see my hope for struggle to deal with the infection. The high doses of different medicines made my situation under control. Then the hope for improvement raised in me so i tried to move my self within the hall of the hospital room and did all my self care so that nurses could not get suffered for me.
I was gradually became a friendly face with everyone . Encouraged others to take food on time and talked with positive vibration. The life went in a different angle.Nos of para medical staffs took their duties in a very strict order. Now , i was also acquainted with the new environment . The night watcher, sweeper ,cleaners and nurses were my familiar persons whom i interacted with them.
The supply of food in right time made me inclination for waiting to next moment . The varieties and sumptuous food was the credible things for me.
Then the continuous testing of ct scan and xray of my health resulted with good report. Doctors gave hope for better improvement. Every moment became a testing time for me . No idea what would happen in next moment. My family went through a tragic stage to maintain me. Specially my better half sincerely doing all caring for the improvement of my health. I could not tolerate to see his suffering for me. He wished to recover quickly to get well soon.I understood his conditions but no way to do more for him. His presence on my bed side consoled me a better way.
On 10th May 2021,on my Anniversary day,it was very special moment for me so i could understood the sentiments also. I could not tolerate the way he was suffering for me.Still, he came with a chocolate and coconut water for me and wished to recover quickly so that we could plan later for a better way. He was looking after both hospital matter and household work also . His intensity of his feelings was so touchable i could realize that moment.But , unable to do anything for him.
Stability came to my health. No positive sign of corona and oxygen mask removed due to the increase of parameter of oxygen. Must be some relief for the health issues. But , felt weakness for doing anything suddenly.Doctor gave positive sign for the relieve from the hospital on 12th May at 1.30pm. All formalities taken care by my dear husband. He did not get little time to take rest for himself .
After submission of all dues , time came to collect reports and medicines for further treatment at home .
A long journey of fatal stage of life came soon after the corona. The fear and lack of medical facility even in a capital city made the situation worst both mentally and physically. Ultimately i relieved for another chapter of life that waited for me.No one could think of trauma and suffering throughout few days that went within my family . The tragic stage was yet to cover even after that . The following checkup and frequent visit to hospital made the situation more serious also. The lockdown period by the govt made the life of all people more confinement within the home only . While coming back to home throughout the way the emptiness on the road created feelings of the dangerous situation of the city. Only the tall building stood as a pillar of residential locations for the human society. No crowd , no vehicles visible at the road.
I came with a sign of victory over my life that once i was in fear of loss . Never thought to under went such a traumatic phase of life of my own. On the occasion of the completion of one year i thought to pen down my experience through which i could express my sufferings and trouble for which my husband did best for saving my life . The caring and love he shown at the most critical juncture of moment was unimaginable. We thanked each moment the way time passed but got no clue about the tragic incident that God gave me soon after that. The continuous post Covid issues raised and complications came in each passing days.Hope to help and support to others who suffered corona.
