#Covid#Home 1. I’m kicking you out. Cebo says. It’s time to go. I’ve been lying on my hospital bed for hours. Waiting for those words. And it’s time now. Hours earlier Dr Sibanda and I had elbow greeted.We smiled.And we both knew it had been a journey. I had been at the bottom
#Covid#Home 2. .. and here I was now. Leaving.
Cebo’s voice is back with me. Consider this as just having been a short holiday. She says. I laugh. She laughs.
Cebo and I have bonded. She is young. Beautiful. And what every patient needs in a hospital. That pick me up feeling.

1. #Covid
I saw the sun come up this morning. And I saw the green of the trees through the window to the side of this building. I actually saw them today. And I just stared. It’s a beautiful time of day. The light bounces off the earth beautifully.

Here it’s the trolley that wakes you first. Around 3AM. It’s distinctive beeping is merely to announce

1. It’s day four. #Covid.
I’ve lost count of which day it is. Saturday. Yes. My fingers count visually with me. Yes .. Saturday.
Yesterday the #loadshedding started at 20h00. I was asleep when the generator went off and the power came back. Today I know it went off again at 12.
2. Because I did look at my phone. It’s not scary in the day. And this time the generator seemed to come on seamlessly. The noise it makes is actually now a relief. It’s working.
And the nurses are in their stride.

#Loadshedding: #Covid 1. The nurses are making the beds. And we are sitting in chairs.The mood is jovial.We have been keeping each other’s spirits up.Someone is taking orders for coffee.The lights are on.
And then it’s just dark.Pitch black.Everything goes off.And we sit there
#Loadshedding#Covid 2. A nurse rushes in. Cellphone in hand - torched. She is heading for the 3rd bed. His oxygen system is not lined to the new power supply that will kick in. Other nurses rush in. They grab their phones. And it’s dark. We’re still just sitting there..
