actually i'm not a typical person who tell anyone else regard my problems or what i had been face in life.
but, i think i need to share in here
last january is a nighmare for me and my family.
we never think it will happen in our life.
my company held a swab for covid to all employee and i diagnosed positive covid.
suddently my head was blank,i always follow health protocol anywhere i go. even i never go to mall since the covid hit. and i got pcr test to make sure the result. and the result came the same.
i didnt feel any covid sympton at that time. but if i think again, maybe since december i have a light fever (that time i think it is because of the weather or the air con too cold) and a little cought. but before that my sister have a cough first around 1 or 2 week before, and after that my mom felt not well and after that me and my younger sister.we never imagine that. i suspect my sister is a carier because she working as a private teacher and the mom of her tutor student diagnosed covid.
in early january i lost my sense of smell and sense of taste gone. when i get the result of my pcr, i inform my family who i stay with to have a pcr test too. and both of my sister already negative.but my mom positive. my mom so weak at that time. can not sit or walk as normal before.
deep inside my heart, i feel so down to see her like that. but i have to motivate and cheer her.
we never told her about "this positive result", we dont want her over think about this.
both of us had self isolation, but we never think my mom condition getting worse. we try to look for hospital but all full and rejected when we tell that we have a positive result of pcr.
few of hospital dissapointed me because they very rudely refused the patient.
after self isolation 10 days we re-test pcr again. before the result came out, suddently i remember my ex office mate working in the hospital. i call her and told her about my situation and she help me get a room in her working place.
i accompany my mom isolation in the hospital even i dont have any symptom. my mom can not wake up from bed. so i worry about her being in a isolation room at the hospital.
everyday i always motivate her to have a happy thought, always videocall with her grandson to make her smile.
imagine how she will be in that room by herself, can not call the nurse and nobody motivate her.
few time i cry inside my heart saw her condition, but i never show this side of me in front of her. i love her so much and want her heal soon.
we got negative result of pcr after 1 week isolation in that hospital. my mom move to non isolation room and i'm going home. my sisters take care and accompany my mom every day. and after few day i join them too.
what i want to inform is. when ovid hit, the d-dimer parameter is so crucial.
it have to monitored every 2 week, especially when the patient ages around 40 up.
D-dimer (or D dimer) is a fibrin degradation product (or FDP), a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis.
it can attack other organ. and must consume blood thinners drug.but as i know in few case, using this drug in a long time can make bleeding if falls or have a surgery.
so have to be becareful.
my mom since last week already going home with us. and still recovery and have a physiotherapy to be walk again.
always give thank for God's healing and blessing.
stay healthy and take care everyone

@shiva yes can not regret what happen.its alreasy past.the important is how to motivate my mother to be walk again.
i got my taste and smell when we have our self isolation before going to hospital.
people around my mother age so fragile and easily infected by this covid.we have to take care our parents and family always to prevent any bad things happen

Thanks for sharing, so many people still don't believe it. Glad you are doing as well as you are. My husband lives in nursing home and he got covid. It was a long time, before he got better.
