My Lockdown 1 - The Fall

     "He might not be able to speak, write or walk properly for at least 6 months," doctor declared. My mother broke into tears after hearing that. I was lying there, on the hospital bed helplessly, unable to move my right limbs. I knew this was not the end. But s your mother in tears affects you the most (13th October, 2020).

    I met with an accident almost a week ago (on 5th October,2020) and fainted. Thanks to the people at the site, without them I don't know what would have happened to me. They gave me first aid and took me to the best hospital available as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the mishap was informed to my office and family. They all rushed in with all the help they could. This all happened at around 10:30 AM. As I woke up around 7:00 PM, I saw my parents waiting for me to gain conscious. I felt fine and left for home with my parents.

    Though I seemed normal for the next 5 days, it was on 11th October,2020, I puked and felt something strange happening with my body. I was immediately rushed to the nearby hospital that could treat me. I under went some scans and tests & the doctor completely understood my situation. I was immediately admitted into ICU and was treated accordingly. The night between 11th and 12th October, 2020, I couldn't understand what was happening to my body. I wasn't comfortable at all. My mother and aunt were totally exhausted making me comfortable.

    The next morning (12th October,2020), I was shifted into special ward for better medication and  comfort. Slowly, I started understanding and accepting what was happening to my body. My right limbs turned numb and there were some minor clots in my brain. Medication was given for the clots. My neurosurgeon suggested physiotherapy for my limbs to recover. The medication and physiotherapy started from the same day.

    The next day i.e. on 13th October, 2020, the doctor's words devastated my family. That was the time when I decided myself that I would walk, speak and write again, just like before, in less than 4 weeks. Though I didn't know how tough it was to reach my target, I set it and took it as a challenge.
