[ Our Covid 19, 17 days at Hospital.]

We both spent 15 days taking medications day and night, Doctors would come and talk to me and my wife 2 or 3 times daily, X ray was taken on 3 days,C T scan once and countless tablets and , we could not keep account. I being diabetic was morbid and took more pricks and tablets as also tests my wife being without all these extra tests as she was non diabetic. I was just taking the day as it came however nights were hard but with my meditation all the time was not very much perturbed. Me or my wife slept all the time, I was on oxygen and few days it was hard but over time I got used t it. I could remove it and put it back. I was also told to practice breathing exercises which I knew since Baba Ramdev's Yoga camp here in Bangalore, which I had attended, I had attended as also Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's 'Art of Living' had conducted camps which I had attended.
It was a bit hard for us to know who is a doctor as every  person was dressed almost in a 
similar dress and we had to call everybody as doctor.
Food.
Our discomforts were mostly with food though it was from a good hotel medications had made our taste turn in to hate as we found even sugar was also tasting hot. When we told doctors they said it would go after few days. Nearly 6 days it was difficult. The person who was our food server never met us and he would go away after keeping our breakfast,Lunch and Dinner on the table and go away as we would be sleeping. However I caught him and made him take a picture of MENU CARD and send it on Whats App. After this it was nearly 5 days and we could order few items which we were not knowing was available so we ordered and it was a change which was good to us.
 
Discharge.
 We were informed 3 days earlier by some staff that we may be discharged in under 3 days but the Doctor who was in charge did not tell us. On the final day of our discharge the doctor informed that we could go home after lunch and the Ambulance would drop us at our home.

Home at last it looked like a 5 Star Hotel.
