Hospital Diary

 Day 5-  Hospital Diary.

Today is Tuesday, a day of prayers  for Lord Hanumana, Lord of strength and raw power. In my part of world he is revered a lot for his strength. Being basically from farming community, our lad require that kind of strength and stamina as Lord Hanuman. Eventhough,  this  pandemic has made people introspect, presence of God but then it is belief which matters in the end. Tuesday is the day of struggle too as one finds himself in the plethora of work one has to do. One more good thing i forgot  about Lord Hanuman is that he is a 'Brahamchari' god, that is big blessing as this makes him totally devoted to his job always.

Well coming to the day, it was bad night , i could not slp well as AC had got non-ops, got up at 5 am with improper rest.  Good thing was morning all parameters specially BP was normal. After that i went for a  good walk of2.0 Km ( 500 mtr increase) and Yoga exercise,  did even a bit of Hyperventilation too. After 45 minutes exercise, took bath and wait for brrakfast commenced.  Tdy was had healthy breakfast ie upma with sambhar. After that i wanted to get my RT PCR test report. It was important to know what was my cycle threshold (CT) value, anything below 25 one is considered positive and below 20, the person could be highly infective. In our hospitals at CT value 35 ,one is discharged. I had a CT value of 24.97, that is just below 25. Anyways positve case is positve case. In outside they say that in govt hospital, with 25 CT, you are negative. 

Today also had to get our AC repaired, lest i don't take proper rest. It is difficult to get people to come to covid ward and do repair. I know there fear is genuine,  i too would have thought twice before going to these wards. Anyways good of Mechanic to come and look into our AC issue, he had to change fan motor, so took some time but by end of the day AC was ready. I think next thing is to get the gas charged for AC. Hopefully this repair should last the night. 

Today had good lunch, they had good food too. I njoied the lunch specially dal, after lunch customary nap couldn't be taken as AC was not there and also had some calls coming. Anyways in hospitals you as it is slp short, unless off course you are on sedatives. Having left all medicine for last 48 H now my body has to get slp on its own way. Having Vit C and Zn but these tablets don't help in slp anyways.  Body does get tired to get slp as beds are slightly new for it to adjust. I think mostly slp is out of tiredness of being awake  rather than going to slp off on own. Whatever, Afternoon slp was misssed to get AC repair done, to guide Mechanic to come to my room first and request him to change it tdy the defective part. After that had a small walk in the park, had encounter with Alpha male monkey, he is the king of the group out here. Evening dinner was also good, maybe i have build the taste for the food, i had good fill.

My health remians the same ie no grt fever (last measured was 96.8) , no grt drop in SPO2 (97). At times BP shoots up in afternoon, mrng it was 120 but in eveng it was 136, i found out, the machine was showing erratic readings for all i guess. 

Pray all stay safe, stay healthy. Will seee if any good story comes out on Day 6. I know tomorrow is Wednesday, the day of hope that one has reached mid wee and weekend is in sight.  Rest with the today coming to end, i will go through some mails of university  and hopefully slp off in time.
