Hello to all dear friends of the happiest community of Hive....

How are you doing? I hope, wonderful, as the weekend starts today and it is a new opportunity to discover what wonderful things the world we live in has to offer.

Me, I am spending this weekend with a bit of anguish, but at the same time a bit relieved. I am anguished because I had to live for the first time the enormous anguish of having a sick and hospitalized relative, my mother, who has been hospitalized for a few days in the central hospital of the city due to a gall bladder and kidney stone and also a strong urinary infection.

This clinical condition of my mother has kept me, my wife and the rest of my family on edge for almost a week, but since I had to work I had not had the opportunity to stay up all night taking care of my mother and helping her.

As I mentioned, I had never had the opportunity to do this before, because thank God my family had never been through anything like this, we have always been very healthy people. But as the unforeseen event and the years fall on all of us sooner or later, cases like this can happen.

The most distressing thing for me was listening to her complaining about the pain, the treatments she was given, making sure nothing was stolen, since it is a public hospital so if you fall asleep you can wake up with what you are wearing, and finally assisting her when she has to relieve herself.

Sure, I do this with a lot of pride because I know my mother did it many times for me when I was a kid and throughout my life before I got married. But seeing firsthand what it's like to care for a family member who is in the hospital can be distressing.

In addition, there is also the fact that there are also people around who suffer from different types of ailments or others who unfortunately die because of them, for example, since Saturday that my mother is in the hospital, I have counted 9 people who have died, mainly from COVID, so that is yet another anguish as I do not want my mother or me or my wife to end up sick and being a burden.

But after spending more than 24 hours thinking about all these things and taking care of my mother, I decided to take a coffee break taking advantage of my brother's turn to take care of my mother. So I went to the bakery and even though I didn't have a lot of money since everything has been used for my mother's medicines, I decided to buy myself a traditional and very tasty breakfast: A golfeado and a delicious brown coffee.

I can't describe the happiness I felt when I sipped the coffee, which, although it was hot, was glorious and satisfying. It was something like a pat on the shoulder congratulating me for all the good work I have done in taking care of my mother in her time of illness.

Even though it took me 25 minutes to eat this, it was the best 25 minutes of my life and the coffee was very strong so I woke up immediately and continued to help my mother until more friends came to assist us so that we who stayed the night could rest.

Although the hospital was horrible, it also had a small joy and this was a kitten with an annoying face that passed through the hospital corridors, if in my country there are dogs and cats in hospitals, I do not understand why, but that has always been so haha. This kitty was like a therapy for me and my mother, with her purring she also helped us to calm the stress, besides it was very funny her face of stress for being living in a hospital.

In conclusion, coffee is everything a person needs to calm their nerves, anguish and anxiety, it is a very relaxing cup of therapy and it also gives you back the joy and also makes you enjoy small pleasant things.

Thank you very much for reading, I hope you liked it, it was very useful for me to let off steam and recharge my batteries, see you next time, I hope you have a successful weekend full of joy :D

Hola a todos queridos amigos de la comunidad más feliz de Hive...

¿Como están? Espero que, de maravilla, ya que el fin de semana comienza hoy y es una nueva oportunidad para descubrir que cosas maravillosas tiene el mundo donde vivimos.

Yo, estoy pasando este fin de semana con un poco de angustia, pero a la vez algo aliviado. Estoy angustiado porque me tocó vivir por primera vez la enorme angustia de tener a un familiar enfermo y hospitalizado, se trata de mi madre, que desde hace unos días está internada en el hospital central de la ciudad por calculo en la vesícula y riñones y además una fuerte infección de orina.

Este cuadro clínico de mi mama nos ha tenido en vilo a mí, mi esposa y el resto de mi familia por casi una semana, pero como he tenido que trabajar aún no había tenido la oportunidad de quedarme cuidando y ayudando a mi madre toda una noche.

Como mencione, nunca antes había tenido la oportunidad de hacer esto, porque gracias a Dios mi familia nunca había pasado por algo así, siempre hemos sido personas muy sanas. Pero como el suceso imprevisto y los años nos caen a todos tarde o temprano, pueden ocurrir casos así.

Lo más angustiante para mí era escucharla quejarse por el dolor, por los tratamientos que le suministraban, estar pendie

nte de que no nos robaran nada, ya que es un hospital público así que si te quedas dormido puedes despertar con lo que llevas puesto, y por último asistirla cuando tenga que hacer sus necesidades.

Claro, yo hago esto con mucho orgullo porque sé que mi madre lo hizo muchas veces por mi cuando estaba niño y durante toda mi vida antes de casarme. Pero el hecho de ver en carne propia todo lo que se pasa al cuidar a un familiar que esta grave en un hospital puede ser angustiante.

Además, también está el hecho de que alrededor también hay personas que sufren distintos tipos de dolencia u otras que lamentablemente mueren debido a ellas, por ejemplo, desde el sábado que mi madre está en el hospital, he contabilizado 9 personas que han fallecido, principalmente por COVID, así que esa es otra angustia más ya que no quiero que mi madre o yo o mi esposa terminemos enfermos y siendo una carga.

Pero luego de pasar más de 24 horas pensando en todas estas cosas y cuidando a mi madre, decidí tomarte un café de descanso aprovechando que mi hermano le tocaba cuidar a mi madre. Así que fui a la panadería y aunque no disponía de mucho dinero ya que todo ha sido utilizado para los medicamentos de mi madre, decidí comprarme un tradicional y muy sabroso desayuno: Un golfeado y un riquísimo café marrón.

No puedo describir la felicidad que senti cuando tomaba lo sorbos de café, que, aunque estaba caliente, era glorioso y satisfactorio. Era algo así como una palmada en el hombro felicitándome por todo el buen trabajo que he hecho en cuidar y estar pendiente de mi madre en su momento de enfermedad.

Aunque tarde 25 minutos comiendo esto, fueron los mejores 25 minutos de mi vida y el café estaba muy fuerte así que me desperté de inmediato y seguí ayudando a mi madre hasta que vinieron más amigos a asistirnos para que nosotros que nos quedamos en la noche pudiéramos descansar.

Aunque el hospital era horrible, también tenía una pequeña alegría y esto era una gatita con cara de molesta que pasaba por los pasillos del hospital, si en mi país hay perros y gatos en los hospitales, no entiendo porque, pero eso ha sido siempre así jaja. Esta gatita era como una terapia para mí y mi madre, con su ronroneo nos ayudaba también a calmar el estrés, además era muy graciosa su cara de estrés por estar viviendo en un hospital.

En conclusión, el café es todo lo que necesita una persona para calmar sus nervios, angustia y ansiedad, es una taza de terapia muy relajante y que además te devuelve la alegría y además te hace disfrutar de pequeñas cosas agradables.

Muchas gracias por leer, espero que te haya gustado, a mí me sirvió mucho para desahogarme y perder recargar mis bateas, nos leemos en una próxima ocasión, espero que tengas un fin de semana exitoso y muy lleno de alegría :D

I hope your mom will recover soon and leave the hospital. It is never nice to have a relative sick. It is great to have some comfort via a cup of coffee. Have a great weekend.

Hello, that's right, when a family member is sick we turn to that person who needs us.
I don't know what your belief is or that of your mother and relatives...there is the Archangel RAPHAEL who assists the sick...if you can do some research on him and if you like him, pray...it is a matter of taste and belief....
And a coffee always soothes the soul.

May your mother recover soon and may you get out of there to take care of other things that come to the hospital.

Best regards

Thank you very much for your good wishes :D

And it is true, it is not easy, the emotional burden is greater than the physical, but little by little we are seeing improvement.
