No Diwali this Year!!

Good morning to all my loves here... Have you ever heard of the biggest massive festival that India ever celebrates, more like Hindus in India?.. That is Diwali or in my regional language, it is called Deepavali.. In English, they call it as "festival of lights". I will make another post on what the festival represents and what would we do on this day in a separate post because it deserves that attention but this is not an exciting post.. because I'm not at happy/peace this Diwali...Tomorrow and day after tomorrow are the festival days and hence my daughter's school declared her holiday but even then, I'm kinda depressed..

Last week, my mother in law started having flu and we bought her medicines for the same. I kept tracking of her symptoms from day 1 and she had cold and cough and we gave her medicines to combat that alone... however, in normal cases, we should be able to be better in 3 days right? but she kept developing new symptoms like back pain, stomach pain and severe cough and because of that, she kept saying her heart is aching because of continuous coughs.. As a person who went through Covid this May, I immediately took her saturation levels and it showed 85.. I started to get worried because it should show 95 and this is not normal... any number down and she would have to be taken to an emergency because of her old age.. we needed to act fast

I asked my husband to take her to a hospital and my father in law also asked to come back home.. they both went to the emergency by 11 am 3 days back and I thought they would suggest her some meds and send her back home.. They took scans, xrays, blood/urine tests and told that she might have COPD which means Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease...

It means that half of her lungs have inflamed because of the phlegm formation and she was able to breath oxygen, but was unable to release carbon dioxide out... The CO2 was stuck in the lungs thus causing it inflame, wheezing, shortness of breath and cough... Thankfully, she did not have Covid.. They gave her nebulizer treatment for 5 times on day 1 and told us that she needed admission into the hospital as her condition had to be observed for at least 3 days. It took my husband to wait whole day without food and water in the hospital to wait and they finally got a room by 9 Pm in the night. The reason for this condition was told because of smoking or from living in a dusty condition or from the fumes of cooking from wood stoves... However, nobody in my house smokes, we cook on cylinder gas and our place is reasonably clean... not sure what caused her this....

Today is the third day of her being in hospital and she started to respond to meds only yesterday because of her old age... they are still not sure if they can dismiss her from the hospital.. and this is the reason why we are so busy right now and exhausted too... and this is why we are not celebrating our Diwali properly or at all this year......

No matter how much money we have, if there is no health, there is nothing for us... Please take care of yourselves guys, if you smoke or drink alcohol.. just stop it... that ain't worth sh*t...

Thanks for reading everyone, wishing you health and peace :)
