My father has tested negative after 20 days and I have finally taken a steady breath! But with every passing day, I have seen so many positive cases in people around me. Severe, scary and heartbreaking. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ˜Ș" title="Verschlafenes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Verschlafenes Gesicht"> Praying for all suffering with their loved oneshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Gefaltete HĂ€nde" aria-label="Emoji: Gefaltete HĂ€nde">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❀" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
I recently realized through a very close friend that people are still clueless on how to deal with positive, planning everything, putting care over social drama, and more.
So, here are a few people whose lessons in putting it out helped me.
This is a tweet by @Akshay001 which I remembered and followed but with my own rendition on a Notes app. Oxygen, Pulse, Temperature & BP- every hour. I had another set of reminders for every hour for meals & liquids. https://twitter.com/Akshay001/status/1319763104008343552">https://twitter.com/Akshay001...
Then this detailed thread by @drriteshmalik was also a passive reminder I had. I was the only caretaker for my dad and cleaning his room to everything else, so these methods helped. I am grateful for these threads! https://twitter.com/drriteshmalik/status/1278357040188977152">https://twitter.com/drriteshm...
One personal lesson was: information is power. I, of course, come from the privilege that I only needed my father to recover and not bother about myself. But when I heard my dad say he is positive, I tried to calm him down, end the call & cried. A LOT. but it was crucial
was that I knew my plan of action. I called up @rahulrmv & @dawalelo to connect with Covid doctors, described my dad& #39;s case & understood every nuance to take care of him & my family. I have come to realize many people don& #39;t armor themselves with information. But you should!
