Day 16- Covid status negative
Yes Alhumdulilah. Got confirmed Covid negative report in writing yesterday . So ended isolation properly and celebrated Eid with family.
I am thankful that I was among the lucky one who could manage the virus at home and was able to beat it. Thankfully no one had to send sos for oxygen , hospital or even an ambulance . I was able to cook my own food during isolation. Fingers crossed there are no post Covid complications .So far everything seems fine .
Cough persists and I get a little breathless after talking for a long time or if I lie on my back for long. Even during these 15 days, heard of friends acquaintances getting critical and some even passed away.
Only yesterday heard about a daughter of a known family being critical while she was five months pregnant. After being in Coma for a day, the lady passed away and there was no way the fetus could be saved.
Far away, in Delhi, a 30-year-old woman in an oxygen mask inside a Covid emergency ward, swaying to a hit Bollywood hit “love you Zindagi “ which became viral this week , died. The video was posted by Dr Monika on Thursday requesting people to pray for her.
Dr Monika Langeh, today tweeted that the girl lost the battle and left behind a small child. ‘I am very sorry. We lost the brave girl," Dr Langeh wrote.
According to NDTV , the woman initially did not get a hospital bed. She was later shifted to an ICU ward where her condition was not serious, Dr Langeh had said in a previous post.
The news forced me to count my blessings, I was back selecting Eid dress for my nine year old daughter and forcing my teenage son to hug me- he hates displaying affection as well as emotions ( like any teenager).
I am coughing , can’t speak for long without getting breathless or a cough spell. My limbs are numb, and I have trouble standing but thank god I am alive.
