6th day in MMCH

5 days has passed today is the 6th day....got up early did anulom vilom....... trying my best to get rid of my throat irritation.

It was observed that some patients had symptoms and hence treatment was done accordingly....but few had no symptoms initially....but during stay they developed symptoms.

Doctors visited patients on regular basis.... but

the doctor who had visited today listened to the patient patiently...he visited each patient's bedside and prescribed medicines

Every body appreciated his approach.....we enjoyed the breakfast..it was Puri, Rajma,egg, tea...in the lunch we had chicken....it was tasty.

I remember at home due to lockdown we could hardly have chicken, fish, we had to limit ourself to Alu Pitika,

Jika,karela..bhaji...We were thankfull to the govt that they have been arranging such nutritious food in quarantine centres even during lockdown. My colleague who was in Khanapara informed that she was happy with the facilities provided to the patients , it was like hotel... tasty food, better aminities.

Even I assured her that even here the overall environment is good..... doctors,nurses are taking care, HK team also monitored the cleanliness on regular basis.

I received a call from the MMCH office that my swab test would be taken on the next day...I got little worried because throat irritation still persisted...I informed the doctor , he told that if there is no viral infection ...even if there is throat irritation the result would be negative...I got relieved.

In the evening we had tea.... suddenly the patient next to my bed complained of uneasiness...pain in the chest.... immediately we informed the nurse, in the meantime  the patient was given Rabeprazole tablet... her daughter informed that  she had missed the Rabeprazole tablet which she used to take in empty stomach in the early morning..she had taken oily foods (Puri) leading to uneasiness...

In the meantime time the nurse arrived with the injectable.....but since the patient was feeling comfortable  she refused to take the injectable..

The day went well...I never thought that a shocking news was waiting for me.. husband informed  that he received a call informing that his swab test has been turned out to be positive... though I was mentally prepared but never expected...he broke down but did not express...I could feel  his voice....I enquired regarding other test reports ....our daughter, mother in-law, and baideu....he informed that he had enquired and they informed that their reports were negative..but they hadn't produce the report.... in the core of my heart I was still worried.. because in many instances their verbal report comes out to be true but in some cases it comes out to be otherwise also...

I talked to my daughter and made her understand that this is our tough time and she needs to help us...she was crying even I was crying but I didn't express..

I knew it would break her more.

The world had come to a standstill...he wanted to stay home quarantined but I disagreed stating that first  of all the govt wouldn't give permission for home quarantine, secondly in case symptoms arises it would need treatment under proper supervision and nobody would help in transportation...to hospital... and thus we decided  to go as per govt norms.

 I rang up our medical superintendent Dr

Anil Kalita and  took advice from him.....

he was kind enough and rang up my husband and helped him in taking final decision.

I somehow managed to have dinner and went to sleep but spend the night tossing on the bed...I prayed god to make me tough so that I could walk on the ...rough roads... ahead.....tears rolled down but I knew tears couldnot change anything....,had least value....
