Anhedonia

Dear students,  A big thank you to everyone for keeping me in their prayers and your wishes. It has been one of the toughest times personally for me last couple of weeks. It has been short of nothing, feels likes have faced a lot and recovering one at a time from COVID. The virus has literally broken through each of defences to finally target the emotional mantle around me. Dad was affected by COVID first.  He wasn't affected much -  with minimal involvement in CT and a derangement in the lab values had just to keep in observation due to co-morbid conditions was admitted. Mom had slight symptoms and was in home care. Beginning of May myself started having symptoms and tested positive -  Inflammatory markers were bit off the chart by the end of 5th day and bit of shortness of breath.  Took a CT -  The ground glass opacities in my Lung CT when i sneaked to see in the console was disturbing. Radiologist had reported 20% involvement with CORADS 5.  Was admitted in the hospital as per the pulmonologist advice and was given treatment. Wife was carrying a term baby - she was tested positive as well. The gynaecologist - did a C section so nothing happens to both. Her CT scan also showed 15% involvement. RTPCR and swabs were done for the newborn as well and luckily turned negative. End of May 1st week is when I broke, i literally broke. Dad is a different hospital, mom at home isolation, myself nd wife in a different hospital and the newborn with us - helpless we were to able not to shower the love which I should have. Sleepless nights, emotionally and physically shaken having to manage so many things with waves of depression and hopelessness pushed through each day - Was discharged from hospital yesterday finally. Things are settling down, things aren't so gloomy as it used to be, things are hopefully becoming better. As on date health wise recovering though not sure about the mental scar COVID has left me with - To all my loved students, please take care - the virus hits us hard, it's a matter of time and hopefully we will sail out of this together. !  A decision made when i was not able to decide if i will see thru it on the other side, whatever revenue the app generates a part of it will go to govt hospitals and education to provide basic needs from now till the end of time !  My sincere prayers for each and every one of you and your family. Stay safe. Anhedonia persists, but I hope to come out of it soon.  We shall resume our tests soon.
