[I]"My Lessons From Getting COVID-19, Healing Journey & Personal Gratitude
In the afternoon of November 2, I experienced cold chill in my body. It is as though I was atop the Swiss Alps in December. I took very hot shower, wore two t-shirts, sweater & two track-bottoms & two duvets. I broke no sweat.
As I have never been admitted even once in Hospital all my life, I assumed this “winter chill” will go. But It didn’t. On Friday, I decided to visit my Doctors at Aga Khan University Hospital. They did all tests on my blood & urine and found I was as fit as a fiddle. It is when they decided to test for COVID-19.
I didn’t & I don’t have the classic COVID-19 symptoms. I tested positive. I have no fever. I don’t cough. I don’t sneeze.
By the time I tested Positive, my lungs had been compromised. The Doctors had to work to help my lungs recover, my oxygen levels increased & to have my body fight the viral attack. I have been on cocktails of medicine & oxygen since but now well to be discharged to recuperate at home.
Whilst admitted here at Aga Khan University Hospital, I got to learn about COVID-19, not much but a little. First, there is so much Science doesn’t know with certainty how COVID-19 is spread & when it stops being contagious. Since my infection but before knowing I was positive, interacted with close friends in the office, restaurants and home …all have tested negative. I don’t know where and how I was infected. But I didn’t infect anyone I know that I came in contact with.
For COVID-19, all the latest Science shows that on its Cause, Testing, Treatment & Contagion, there unknown unknowns, known knowns, known unknowns and known owns. But everything is still up in the air.
For now, as I leave for home to recuperate, i plead with my friends to chat with me by text & Whatsapp only to allow my lungs heal. I want to limit my speaking. And thanks to all my family’s and friends locally and abroad for all prayers and well wishes. I will get back to all.
God Bless."[/I]
