SANDRA'S STORY
I was at work, wasn't feeling well and didn't have any signs of covid like flu or cough, so i thought it was malaria.
I then went to the hospital, did a malaria, fever and typhoid tests which all came out negative but my temperatures were still high at 36.6°C. That's when they requested me to do a covid test, and when i did, it came out postive. I was alone, felt bad and most of all couldn't believe it because i thought it was still far from us. Little did i know it was much closer than i thought.
I went back home feeling depressed, i called my supervisor at work and informed her of my situation and advised that also the team i was working with to test for the same.
I called my best friend and informed her that i had tested postive for covid which ahe also didn't believe at first. My mother was tested postive since we stay together, so we isolated ourselves in our house.
We were very week but still had to do everything by ourselves like doing house chores and preparing our meals since we didn't want any of our loved ones to get infected, we advised them not to visit us in the mean time.
Some times at night i could feel difficult in breathing and i would ask God if it was really my time to go but yet i would hold it together since i didn't want to scare my mother who at the time might have been going through the same or worse.
One time when i was in the hospital i had of people who were on critical condition and on oxygen, plus tbose who had died still of covid. I was scared and thought i might be the next anytime soon plus even people close by in the neighborhood were also dying. But with support, encouraging words from friends and family and having a stress free mind as much as possible made me over come covid. They made me believe that having covid is not the end and one cam survive it and still live a happy life.
My advise to the people is lets keep safe with sops and if you are confirmed postive, have a postive mind and believe that it will come to pass. Lets keep praying to God as well that tbese trying times come to pass. ShareYourself
