Ngine-multiple sclerosis, futhi ukushoda kwamangqamuzana amhlophe egazi kungifaka ezinkingeni ezivela ku-COVID-19.

Kusukela ngomhlaka-6 Mashi, ngisho nangaphambi kokuba kwenziwe izinyathelo zokuhlala ekhaya eNew York, bengingena ngaphakathi efulethini lami elincane laseBrooklyn ngenza konke okusemandleni ukuze ngihlale ngiphephile.

Ngalesi sikhathi, umyeni wami ube iwindi lami ngaphandle. Amafasitela angempela efulethini lethu anokubukwa kwamanye amafulethi nesiqeshana sotshani.

Njengentatheli, ukuzihlukanisa nezindaba bekulokhu kuyinto ejwayelekile kimi. Uprofesa wami wezintatheli engimthandayo uthe "azikho izindaba ezenzeka egumbini lezindaba."

Kepha njengoba ukuvuselelwa kwezindaba kungena ngokushesha kusuka emhlabeni wonke - futhi njengoba inani lokufa eNew York lihlala liphezulu - izindaba ziyaqhubeka nokusondela emnyango wendlu yami.

Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingaphezu kwezingu-40 ngaphandle kokushiya ikhaya, inqubo engiwele kuyo iyaqhubeka.

Ekuseni: I-Yoga, ikhofi, neCuomo

U-Alexa ungivusa ekuseni. Ngithi ake ayeke. Ungitshela isimo sezulu njengoba ngimhlelele ukuthi enze. Noma ngingeke ngiphumele ngaphandle, ukugcina le ngxenye yesimiso sami kunezela induduzo nokujwayeleka ekuseni kwami.

Ngaphambi kokuba ngivuke embhedeni, ngibheka kokuphakelwa komphakathi efonini yami. Yindlela engiphele ngayo ngokungaphezi ngosuku lwangaphambilini: Izindaba ezimbi kakhulu.

Ngemuva kwe-yoga kanye nesidlo sasekuseni, ngibuka njengoba uGov. Andrew Cuomo ebika ngenani lamacala aqinisekisiwe we-COVID-19 nokufa kwabantu edolobheni nasezweni lami. Kuyangiduduza iqiniso lokuthi uhulumeni wami wasekhaya ugcina imininingwane futhi uyisebenzisela ukwazisa izinqumo.

Ntambama: Ukuzola nokuhlala unolwazi

Izimpawu zami zokuqala ze-MS - ukukhathala, ukuba ndikindiki, nokuphathwa yikhanda - ziyaqhuma usuku lonke.

Ezinye zezimpawu ezesabekayo engake ngaba nazo esikhathini esedlule, njengokushintshwa kombono kanye ne-vertigo, zazingenxa yengcindezi. Okwamanje angikaze ngithole ezinye zalezi zimpawu ezeqisayo ngenkathi ngizihlukanisa, yingakho ukuzigcina kubaluleke kakhulu.

Enye indlela engikwenza ngayo lokhu ukuhlela ngokucophelela nokuhlanza ukukhawula ukutholakala kwami ​​ku-coronavirus entsha. Noma nini lapho mina nomyeni wami sidinga ukuvula umnyango wezwe elingaphandle, sibheka uhlelo lwethu, olubandakanya umyeni wami ukufaka imaski ngaphambi kokuvula umnyango.

Lapho sidinga ukudla, ngigcwalisa izinqola kuzo zonke izinsizakalo eziku-inthanethi futhi ngiyethemba ukuthi okungenani eyodwa izoba newindi lokulethwa.

Ngemuva kokulethwa, amabhokisi noma izikhwama zigcinwa phambi komnyango, ezingena ngqo ekhishini lami elingamamitha-skwele angama-90. Sichaza "indawo ehlanzekile" kanye "nendawo engcolile" ekhishini lethu elincane ukubeka izikhwama nokukhipha ukudla, ngaphambi kokuhlanza igilosa yethu nokukubeka.

Njengoba nje ikhishi lethu linezindawo eziqokiwe, ngikwenze umthetho (wengqondo yami engokomzwelo) ukugcina izindaba ezimbi egumbini elilodwa lendlu.

Igumbi lami lokulala yilapho ngilibuka khona izincazelo zansuku zonke ezivela eWhite House nemifudlana engapheli yeziteshi zezindaba ezahlukahlukene. Mina nomyeni wami sixabana ngothando ngezindaba zokopha egumbini elingalungile.

Ebusuku: Ukubhekana necala lomuntu osindile

Umyeni wami ubike ukuthi igumbi lokuphumula liyindawo yakhe “yokuvalelwa yedwa”. Kusihlwa, siyadla, sidlale imidlalo yevidiyo, futhi sibuke ama-movie kuleli gumbi.

Ukuba necala komuntu osindile, ngisho “nasegumbini lokuzijabulisa,” kuyangihlupha. Njengomuntu onesimo sakhe esizinzile futhi okwaziyo ukuhlala ekhaya, ngizizwa ngiphephe kakhulu. Kepha ngiyazi ukuthi bonke abangane bami abaphila nezimo ezingapheli kungenzeka bangabi nenhlanhla.

Lesi yisikhathi kuphela lapho ngonakaliswe khona ngokungabi yisisebenzi "esibalulekile". Ngisho negumbi lokuvalelwa lodwa alikwazi ukungivikela kuleyo mizwa.

Ukulala: Umuthi omuhle kakhulu we-MS

Izinkinga zokulala nge-MS zivamile, futhi ngiye ngafunda ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukulala kwekhwalithi enhlalakahleni yami. Ngikhathazeke kakhulu ngokulala ukuthi ngilandelela ukuthi ngilala kangakanani ku-planner yami.

Ukulala kwakulula. Ngibe nezinkinga zokulala kuphela esikhathini esidlule lapho ngithatha izikhuthazi zokukhathala okungapheli. Kepha manje, kunzima ukulala.

Umsindo wedolobha akuyona into engigcinayo. Kungumsakazo omkhulu, oqhubekayo wolwazi olungelona iqiniso nokuntuleka kwesenzo. Ngilala ngiphapheme ngilalele imisindo yezinhlabamkhosi ezikhalela phezulu naphansi ku-Flatbush Avenue engenalutho.

Akuwona umsindo omusha, kepha manje, yiwo kuphela umsindo.
