[ The after effects of COVID 19 to me, a diabetic aged 85 years. ]

I was discharged after 17 days from the hospital. I did not ask anyone about my stay or discharge since I knew everything from the MD of the hospital who was giving my report to may son daily. My son was informing only my improvement daily and nothing else.

I got down from the Ambulance with the help of a hospital staff who came to say goodbye to me and my wife. My wife was also tested positive and she was with me all the days.

As I was about to enter the Apartment near the gate there was one step only. I put my rightleg and was about to lift me leftleg when I suddenly went down on my knees. I was shoked but realized what had happened. The hospital Staff perhaps knew my strength as such they were holding my arms 2 persons one on left and one on right and they lifted me. There were 3 more steps inside before I could enter inside my apartment on the ground floor. I entered my apartment and my helpers made me sit on a comfortable chair said goodbye and left saying 'Wish you both speedy recovery' smilingly.

My wife was having no problem as she sat down in other chair. The 2 persons who were sent from the hospital by the courtesy of the MD of the hospital asked me how they should start the cleaning.I told them since you are doing the work in the hospital you clean as good or better than the hospital start your work and finish the work and ask me if you want any information.

I opened my eyes wide and saw my home looked like a 5 star hotel with my paintings hanging out all around without those paintings of mine perhaps I would be wondering something else. The cleaning person came to me and said all pickle bottles in the fridge are full of worms. I was relaxing quietly and this announcement was a shock. I told him to throw everything in the fridge out.He did it there was 39 bags all tied up kept in the middle of the sitting / dining place. He could not lift it to take it out of the house. I told him to make it in to 2 bags and take it out. Both the cleaners did a good job and left after I paid them and they were happy as I paid more than what I was told.

We had taken our meal at the hospiral and we both slept and for 3 days we just ordered our breakfast,lunch,snacks and dinner on line.
