Sometime I just wonder, am I consider lucky or unlucky ?
Unlucky in the sense, I got infected by this Covid virus ...
Lucky in the sense, I still manage to discharge from Hospital after 29 days .
This virus change my lifestyle forever , even after you had discharge from hospital . Pls dont play a fool with this virus , it come in any form , nothing can stop them at the moment,.. only thing you can do, is just do prevention, like wearing double layer of face mask, social distance to anyone... even your close friend,. as no one able to tell you , he or she got it or not.
As people love to say, prevention better than cure .
Below is my life experience while I was warded in Hospital Klang , The Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital .
During that period, no more space in Kuala Lumpur, I been send to Klang hospital for my treatment .

By right my case need to have xray, but nurse said doctor never arrange for me. Breakfast need to grab , if late nothing left for you. Not even a cup of coffee or tea. Too many people.
