Girish Patel - Covide 19 Journey - Day - 1 on 24th November 2020
Day one started when I got a phone call in the morning from my best friend Mr Hemant Dhulla asking me did you get the report, I was just in the bed, I just replied I had to check just give me 10 minutes. After some time I logged in to my computer to check the report which had still not been received, I had to call the centre and ask them to send my report which was around 10.30 am in the morning, As i received the 3 reports of mine self, my wife Rita Patel and my son aditya patel. Among all these 3 reports 2 reports were found Positive and my Son was negative, Then I had to call Hemanth bhai and inform him the status of the report, Then he said just give me some time i will check with the hospital if any bed available, There were no beds available locally in the hospital of Dombivli,
Then we were been were been advised by our best Family person Mr Hemanth Ramesh Dhulla with his full support and guide we had reached Mulund by Ambulance by around 3.30 Pm, as we entered the Gate of this Richardson and Cruddas Mulund Jumbo Covid Center we were been first treated at the Reception counter to verify our details and help related issues, It was very much and well treated with all information from their end, After the Complete Verification we had been also given provision to stay together in same hall. And our Bed no were allotted at that moment. Girish Patel 371 and Rita Patel 372
Next we were sent to Center A where we had our bed to rest. At the entrance the same procedures were taken again with proper medical check up, at that moment I had lost my oxygen level, which had been regularly tested for 3 to 4 times to make sure. And the staff requested me don't worry will provide you oxygen you will be ok. After the medical check up we were given Medicines to carry along to our bed, Then we had to rest on our bed and within a few minutes the staff members came and provided all the required treatment. And the Covide Journey Started From there onwards. We were provided with good Dinner and medicines to start our treatment.

Day started up the same early morning with a smile on faces of every patient and each and every one is busy with their morning routine work, some are doing exercises, some are walking, some are chatting, with this moment people day starts with another best day for all. I see wonderful people here with White shoots covering their whole body and start the day to fight covid patients, Here I saw a couple of very young sister females who are aged just 22 years. the way they are working without any fear and treating the people which is unimaginable. As there are people here few we find they don't cooperate with the staff, due to their mentality, but anyway i'm very happy to be here and see live how things are happening, and the way they are very well treated here with not a single fear in their heart.
As they are the real heroes in our life. As I salute them, I have informed a couple of people here from their staff that you are really doing a wonderful job which is very difficult to think too. The starts with a Good Tea and Dhokla Chatni, Back with our medicine routine work and rest for 2 hours, with good sleep. After sometime the next batch of staff comes with Good Lunch (Jain Food which you need to ask,) Otherwise you have pure Veg and sometimes they give Eggs to some people who need. We have our Lunch and take back our regular medicines, and Rest again for 2 years, Now we come across another batch of Staff who’s brought with a smile on their face with a cup of Tea and Biscuits for each and every member in the centre. Now I see people here busy having their chuski or chai and biscuits. Some are enjoying themselves, some are busy eating and don't have time to see around what’s going on nearby them. This is life seen here in real life. But anyway i'm enjoying here looking everything and enjoying writing this information for the people to understand and know. Like this the day 4 went very happily enjoying lots of new things to watch and learn many things from this journey. The day ended up happily.
You see the Staff carrying all used medicine bottles early in the morning from all the patients beds near by with all smile on their face with hard working.
Day - 5 on 28th November 2020
Another best day 5 started up with a wonderful cold breeze with cold blow’s from the fans coming up, started my day with some yoga exercise and my routine work in the morning, with my regular medicines. And I see wonderful people start coming up to me with their white dress code and medicine trays in their hands walking with a beautiful smile on their face and informing my wife injection dena hai aap ko. So like this our day starts with a good smile and with freshness in our mind which is the good sign of health and energy. Some time later a team of Chai and Chuski walla comes with a hot breakfast to your bed to serve. Their I enjoy my breakfast along with my wife and just chat for some time with looking around with wonderful views of people, moving around, some are doing their regular exercise, some talking a long walk, some enjoying their tea break, And after that the next Dr and Sisters Team comes back to you for routine check up , Injection, and other medical treatment to provide each and every person, With this routine the day begins with wonderful start. And I try to find the good moments where I can take some wonderful pics of the moments of people which I can share with everyone.
My morning routine started after the tea and wonderful Medu Wada I had for breakfast. And started to write some moments for the day. I had 2 hours of good sleep and after that I had my medical team coming in for my blood test checkup and some injection to inject for the treatment required. This is their routine and everyone here is too positive to treat and the only intention they have is that people should go home safe as soon as possible.
As i got up, I got a good picture where you can see, Here you see one son treating his mother and grandmother and he himself is a covide 19. The way he is being taking care of them it's really admirable and hats off to him the way he is supporting their parents. In Spite of him being a covid patient he is not bothered about him where he is more caring to his parents. There are overall 4 people here one is in ICU and three of them are in the Centre. This is what we see in real life people working for their family members too. As here the staff are also being helping them around as and when required.
After a good Jain lunch I had 2 hours of sleep, as I got up I saw a Chai ki Chuski team coming with their wonderful smile on their face with a cup of tea filled in along with biscuits to serve, as my afternoon started after I had a wonderful sleep, some beautiful moments. Of the Chai te team. You see the way they are serving so happily. These are the real heroes for our life saving. After some time I see a wonderful young Sister coming for my Injection support in my stomach.
Now I started working on my project at 6.04 Pm. I just had an oxygen check up from a wonderful Dr.Chirag who just came in and checked my oxygen and suggested to me if there was any problem if you had to let us know we are there for your support and services. Such an overwhelmed person that cares so much and wants us to go home safe. I thank every para medical staff for their wonderful support and services. Below is Dr Chirag checking my Oxygen Temperature.
Hey I'm back to my blog, After 2 hours of my work and having a wonderful dinner, I had just gone to the reception counter to have a walk to feel that i'm not having breath less and by that time even my wife was having her wonderful dinner. After a stomach full of good dinner. I'm bit back for further information. Had my routine medicines and to do my work and feel better. I've been wearing a mask the whole day which we should do because here there are people with more infection and many with less infection, So just to be careful about our own self we need to keep these things regularly as an habit to be more safe if your moving around in the covid centre, So i have some time back to do my work and after some time here we will find our Dr and paramedical staff back on their duty for the day. I have been treated for the same with Injections and Medicines at the end of day 5.

I had a wonderful tea break and watched around the best morning views of people doing some exercises , somebody walking, others moving around, and also I saw the Dr Paramedical team on their job for the day 6th. What a moment of services are been provided without any fear, They go so close to the patients and talk to them, give them Injections, their medical treatments, That’s feel an amazing view to see they been serving to the country people only one thought in their mind, People should go home happily and leave their life happy back. What a thought.
I was a bit tired today today felt some small stress so I had to relax for more time in my bed. I woke up back around 12.30 by that time I got my Jain Food Lunch, I had the same with enjoyment and was fully satisfied with the same taste of the food too.

I walked up to the fresh up room, had my routine done and went back to my bed for some exercise as routine what I do every day. As today was my next routine to start, I had a good walk in the morning in the corridor with deep breath where I did not find the pain or any problem to my breathing activity as it was normal as like every day. That felt a bit relaxed to my mind that I have some improvements going in my body.
After Some time I saw the staff, paramedical people and ward boys start on their job for the day. With a hot cup of tea along with Kanda Poha breakfast for the people to enjoy early morning breakfast.

Day - 8th 1st December 2020
The Day 8th Started as normal like every day. But today there were not many activities running around as it was like putting on hold for the virus to move around. As there were many people did get the discharge after getting well and they are back with the family members. That’s amazing to see that people leaving from here happily with broad smiles on their face. As it was the 8th day of mine here I had checked in with the admin department about my status of my health, they advised me there will be a blood test today so I will get to know the results of my health after 2 days. As my oxygen level is normal to 94 without an oxygen mask but I have been advised to keep the mask almost all the time. With that my oxygen level is normal and I'm feeling better from day to day routine.
I spend some time on whatsapp chat with my school friends, make me feel good and happy and sometimes I get phone calls from them too. That makes my day so happy, No matter where they are but they make an attempt to call me and talk to me and give me strength to go with it. Feels me too good after talking to them.
As now the day ends for noon, and a very cold breeze evening starts now which is now around 6.27 pm. And I see people busy on phone calls, some are taking walks around, and every one is busy with their own work and schedule, and I see Paramedical people busy with their duty on helping people in some or the other manner. With these beautiful reviews the evening will be ending up soon.

And the day started with another 9th New day for me and my wife.
As today there are not much of testing nor much of Medicines to consume, they are as normal day wise. Today my oxygen level got tested and it's normal to 96 without the oxygen, But still I have been advised to keep the oxygen running to keep things safe. It's good to be safe and try to be safe.

Day - 10 th 3rd December 2020
The Day 10th Started very nice from the morning with good exercise and wonderful breakfast. I had a walk in the morning. Imagine what I saw there are few wheelchairs which are just sitting there idle, As they are waiting for the people to take help of them and transfer them safely from one place to another. As they cannot speak but imagine the work they do also for the people here. So like that there are so many other things which cannot be stated. But they are here for the people to take the advantage and help. This is what all the facilities are provided here with no price.
As today I checked with the department related to my report. My reports have come all normal, but I need to get them yet.
The day started with wonderful morning, as I see many new faces which came in today morning, as this will going on daily basis many will come and many will be going home happy, But I have noticed here never no what happens when, As one of the person behind me yesterday morning he was fine suddenly he had problem in his body, so they had to shift him to ICU. same way today also one case they had to shift to ICU, you never know about this virus what time what will take place in your body, Here the Dr are doing the best to save every person, As the case related to virus its unpredictable. So we need to be a bit careful about ourselves and try to maintain.
Day - 11 th 4th December 2020
Today is the 11th day of mine with a wonderful morning. I finished all my activities around 6.00 am and had a wonderful walk too. As I had checked my oxygen level after the walk was 98 which was too good of a sign, As the climate was very chilled in the morning with full ac on, I felt good and fresh.
As I feel could be my last day at this covid centre with wonderful experience many new things got to learn, seen many ups and down of the people facing the dangerous virus, Many happy return home from the cure, and many of them are in problems facing some or the other problem of infection which they got back here. For that reason they had to stay back for a long time till they got their blood report normal.
Atlast I got we both got the discharge from the centre, around 12.30 pm We had to wait for the Dr. to come and give us the discharge sheet along with instructions, The very well explained the details after you go home what all you need to take care and if any problem still you can call the centre for the help. They were so good they relive us all as we were around 15 family members to leave the covid centre.
And at last the Nagar Sevak Mr. Sanjay Mashlkar gave a small send off with wonderful words and also insisted to the people in case if you still can’t afford for the medicines you can please do let us know we will still help you, That was a gesture from Mr. Sanjay Mashlkar and he were too happy and gave a wonderful send off. We all thank him for his wonderful effort and support to the people he is providing that’s hat’s of to him and his team for the effort’s they are taking and helping the people in such a dangerous situation of this Covide 19.
