Yile nto injengokuphila nge-MS kwi-COVID-19 Hot Spot

Umxholo

• Kusasa: IYoga, ikofu kunye neCuomo
• Emva kwemini: Ukuzola kwaye uhlale unolwazi
• Ubusuku: Ukujamelana nokuziva unetyala
• Ukulala: Iyeza elifanelekileyo le-MS

Ndinesifo sokuqinelwa yimithambo (multiple sclerosis), kwaye ukunqongophala kweeseli ezimhlophe zegazi kundibeka kubunzima obuvela kwi-COVID-19.

Ukusukela nge-6 ka-Matshi, nangaphambi kokuba kwenziwe amanyathelo okuhlala ekhaya eNew York, bendikule ndlu yam encinci eBrooklyn ndisenza konke okusemandleni ukuze ndihlale ndikhuselekile.

Ngeli xesha, umyeni wam ebeyifestile yam ngaphandle. Iifestile zokwenyani kwigumbi lethu zinombono kuphela kwezinye iiflethi kunye neqhekeza elincinci lengca.

Njengentatheli, ukuzahlula kwiindaba bekusoloko kuyinto eqhelekileyo kum. Unjingalwazi endimthandayo wentatheli wathi "akukho ndaba zenzekayo kwigumbi leendaba."

Kodwa njengoko uhlaziyo lweendaba lungena ngokukhawuleza luvela kwihlabathi liphela- kwaye njengoko inani lokufa eNew York lihlala liphezulu- iindaba ziya zisondela kumnyango wendlu yam.

Emva kweentsuku ezingaphezulu kwama-40 ngaphandle kokushiya ikhaya, indlela endiye ndangena kuyo iyaqhubeka.

Kusasa: IYoga, ikofu kunye neCuomo

U-Alexa uyandivusa kusasa. Ndithi makayeke. Undixelela imozulu njengokuba ndimcwangcisile. Nangona andizukungena ngaphandle, ukugcina le nxalenye yesiqhelo sam kongeza intuthuzelo kunye nokuqhelana nentsasa yam.

Ngaphambi kokuba ndiphume ebhedini, ndityhutyha iifowuni zentlalo kwifowuni yam. Yindlela endiphelelise ngayo usuku olungaphambili: Iindaba ezimbi ngakumbi.

Emva kweyoga nesidlo sakusasa, ndibukele njengoko u-Gov. Andrew Cuomo enika ingxelo ngenani lamatyala e-COVID-19 aqinisekisiweyo kunye nokusweleka esixekweni nakurhulumente wam. Inyani yokuba urhulumente wam wasekhaya ugcina umkhondo wedatha kwaye uyisebenzisa ekwaziseni izigqibo iyandithuthuzela.

Emva kwemini: Ukuzola kwaye uhlale unolwazi

Isiseko seempawu zam ze-MS-ukudinwa, ukuba ndindisholo, kunye nentloko-ziyaqaqamba imini yonke.

Ezinye zeempawu ezoyikisayo endakha ndazifumana ngaphambili, njengotshintsho lombono kunye ne-vertigo, zazibangelwa luxinzelelo. Andikaze ndibenazo naziphi na ezi mpawu zigqithisileyo ngelixa ndizivalela ndedwa, yiyo loo nto ukuhlala ndizolile kubaluleke kakhulu.

Enye indlela endenza ngayo oku kukucwangcisa ngokucokisekileyo kunye nokucoca ukunciphisa ukubonwa kwam kwi-coronavirus entsha. Nanini na xa mna nomyeni wam sidinga ukuvula ucango ukuya kwihlabathi elingaphandle, siya ngaphaya kwesicwangciso sethu, kubandakanya umyeni wam ebeka imaski ngaphambi kokuvula umnyango.

Xa sifuna ukutya, ndizalisa iinqwelo kuzo zonke iinkonzo ezikwi-Intanethi kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba ubuncinci inye iya kuba nefestile yokuhambisa.

Emva koziso, iibhokisi okanye iingxowa zigcinwa phambi komnyango, eziya ngqo kwikhitshi lam le-90-square-foot. Sichonga "indawo ecocekileyo" kunye "nendawo emdaka" ekhitshini lethu elincinci ukubeka iingxowa nokukothula ukutya, ngaphambi kokucoca ukutya kwethu nokukubeka kude.

Kanye njengokuba ikhitshi lethu linendawo ezichongiweyo, ndenze umthetho (wengqondo yam) ukugcina iindaba ezimbi kwigumbi elinye lendlu.

Igumbi lam lokulala kulapho ndibukela khona amagqabantshintshi emihla ngemihla avela kwi-White House kunye nemisinga rhoqo yeendaba ezahlukeneyo. Mna nomyeni wam sithandana ngothando malunga neendaba zokopha kwigumbi elingalunganga.

Ubusuku: Ukujamelana nokuziva unetyala

Umyeni wam ubanga igumbi lokuhlala njengendawo yakhe "yokuvalelwa yedwa". Ngokuhlwa, siyatya, sidlale imidlalo yevidiyo, kwaye sibukele iimuvi kweli gumbi.

Ubutyala bomntu osindileyo, nokuba "kwigumbi lokuzonwabisa," kuyandikhathaza. Njengomntu imeko yakhe izinzileyo kwaye ekwaziyo ukuhlala ekhaya, ndiziva ndikhuselekile ubukhulu becala. Kodwa ndiyazi ukuba bonke abahlobo bam abaphila neemeko ezingapheliyo abanakuba nethamsanqa.

Eli lixesha kuphela endiye ndonakaliswa ngenxa yokungabi "ngumsebenzi" obalulekileyo. Nokuba igumbi lokuvalelwa lodwa alinakundikhusela kwezo mvakalelo.

Ukulala: Iyeza elifanelekileyo le-MS

Iingxaki zokulala nge-MS ziqhelekile, kwaye ndiye ndafunda ukuba kubaluleke kangakanani ukulala okusemgangathweni kwimpilo yam. Ndixakeke kakhulu bubuthongo ukuba ndilandelela ukuba ndilala kangakanani kwisicwangciso sam.

Ukulala kwakulula. Bendinemicimbi yokulala kuphela kwixesha elidlulileyo xa bendithatha izikhuthazi zokudinwa okungapheliyo. Kodwa ngoku, kunzima ukulala.

Ingxolo yomzi ayiyo le indigcina phezulu. Ingumsindo omkhulu, oqhubekayo wolwazi olungelulo kunye nokusilela kwamanyathelo. Ndilele ndivukile ndimamele izandi zokukhala kweentsimbi zisihla zisenyuka kwi-Flatbush Avenue engenanto.

Ayisosandi sitsha, kodwa ngoku, yiyo kuphela isandi.
