I-COVID-19 Ngemva Kokugoma

By UJen R

Sekuphele uJanuwari 2022 futhi umyeni wami ubelungiselela uhambo oluya eCanada. Lolu bekuwuhambo lokushushuluza eqhweni lwabafana aluhlehlisa kabusha kusukela ngonyaka owandulele ngenxa ye-COVID-19. Kungaphansi kwesonto ukusuka endizeni yakhe ehleliwe. Ubuyekeze uhlu lwakhe lokupakisha, waxhumanisa imininingwane yomzuzu wokugcina nabangane bakhe, izikhathi zendiza ezihlolwe kabili, futhi waqinisekisa ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwakhe kwe-COVID-19 kwakuhleliwe. Bese sithola ucingo phakathi nosuku lwethu lokusebenza, "Lona unesi wesikole obiza..."

Indodakazi yethu eneminyaka engu-7 ubudala yayinokukhwehlela okungapheli futhi yayidinga ukulandwa (uh-oh). Umyeni wami wayenokuhlolwa kwe-COVID-19 okwakuhlelelwe leyo ntambama ukuze alungiselele uhambo lwakhe ngakho ngamcela ukuba naye amhlelele ukuhlolwa. Uqale ukungabaza ukuthi kumele ahambe yini uhambo wabheka ezinye izindlela zokuluhlehlisa njengoba imiphumela yokuhlolwa besingeke siyithole izinsukwana futhi kungase kushaye isikhathi sokukhansela uhambo lwakhe ngaleso sikhathi. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngaqala ukuzwa ukukitaza emphinjeni (uh-oh, futhi).

Kamuva ngalobo busuku, ngemva kokulanda indodana yethu eneminyaka engu-4 esikoleni, ngabona ukuthi ikhanda layo lalifudumele. Wayenomkhuhlane. Sibe nokuhlolwa kwe-COVID-19 okumbalwa kwasekhaya ngakho sakusebenzisa kuzo zombili izingane futhi imiphumela yabuya ine-HIV. Ngahlela ukuhlolwa okusemthethweni kwe-COVID-19 kwendodana yami kanye nami ngakusasa ekuseni, kodwa saba nethemba ngo-99% ukuthi i-COVID-19 yagcina ihlasele ikhaya lethu ngemuva kweminyaka ecishe ibe mibili yokuhlala unempilo. Kuleli qophelo, umyeni wami ubezama ukuhlela kabusha noma ukukhansela uhambo lwakhe (izindiza, indawo yokuhlala, imoto eqashisayo, ukungqubuzana kweshejuli nabangane, njll.). Yize ebengakayitholi imiphumela yakhe esemthethweni kodwa ubengafuni ukuzifaka engozini.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezalandela, izimpawu zami zaba zimbi nakakhulu, kuyilapho izingane zibonakala ziphilile. Umkhuhlane wendodana yami wehla phakathi namahora angu-12 futhi indodakazi yami yayingasakhwehleli. Ngisho nomyeni wami wayenezimpawu ezingathi sína ezinjengomkhuhlane. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngase ngiphelelwa ngamandla futhi nomphimbo wami wawushoshozela. Sonke sathola ukuthi sine-HIV ngaphandle komyeni wami (waphinda wahlola ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva wabuya e-positive). Ngenza konke okusemandleni ami ukuthi izingane zijabule ngesikhathi sivalelwe zodwa, kodwa kwaba nzima kakhulu njengoba sisondela ngempelasonto futhi izimpawu zami zaba zimbi kakhulu.

Ngesikhathi ngivuka ngoLwesihlanu ekuseni, ngangingakwazi ukukhuluma futhi nganginomphimbo obuhlungu kakhulu. Nganginomkhuhlane futhi yonke imisipha yami yayibuhlungu. Ngahlala embhedeni ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezalandela ngesikhathi umyeni wami ezama ukuqophisana nezingane ezimbili (ezazibonakala zinamandla amaningi kunangaphambili!), xhumanisa izinto ukuze ahlele kabusha uhambo lwakhe, umsebenzi, futhi alungise umnyango wegalaji owawusanda kuphuka. Izingane zazivame ukugxumela kimi kuyilapho ngizama ukulala bese ngibaleka ngiklabalasa futhi ngihleka.

"Mama, singawuthola uswidi?" Impela!

“Singakwazi ukudlala imidlalo yevidiyo?” Kwenze!

"Singakwazi ukubuka imuvi?" Yiba isivakashi sami!

“Singakwazi ukugibela ophahleni?” Manje, yilapho ngidweba khona umugqa...

Ngicabanga ukuthi uyasithola isithombe. Sasikumodi yokusinda futhi izingane zazikwazi futhi zasizakala nganoma yini ezingayithola amahora angu-48. Kodwa bebenempilo futhi ngibonga kakhulu ngalokho. Ngaphuma ekamelweni ngeSonto ngaqala ukuzizwa ngingumuntu futhi. Kancane kancane ngaqala ukubuyisela indlu ndawonye futhi ngenza izingane zibe nesimiso esivamile sokudlala, ukuxubha amazinyo, nokudla izithelo nemifino futhi.

Mina nomyeni wami sobabili sagonywa entwasahlobo/ehlobo lika-2021 ngeshothi ekhuthazayo ngoDisemba. Indodakazi yami nayo yagonywa ekwindla/ebusika 2021. Indodana yethu yayisencane kakhulu ukuthi igonywe ngaleso sikhathi. Ngibonga kakhulu ngokuthi sikwazile ukuthola imigomo. Ngicabanga ukuthi izimpawu zethu bezingaba zimbi kakhulu ukube besingenakho lokho (ikakhulukazi eyami). Sihlela ukuthola imithi yokugoma nama-booster esikhathini esizayo njengoba isitholakala.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemva kokuba ngiqale indlela yami yokululama, zombili izingane zabuyela esikoleni. Umndeni wami awunazo imiphumela eqhubekayo futhi awunazimpawu noma izinkinga ezincane ngesikhathi sokuvalelwa kwethu. Ngibonga kakhulu ngalokho. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngabhekana nezinselele amasonto ambalwa ngemva kokululama. Ngesikhathi sigula, ngangiziqeqeshela i-half marathon. Kungithathe izinyanga ezimbalwa ukufinyelela isivinini sokugijima kanye nomthamo wamaphaphu enganginawo wangaphambi kwe-COVID-19. Kwakuyinqubo ehamba kancane futhi ekhungathekisayo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, anginazo izimpawu eziqhubekayo futhi umndeni wami uphile saka. Impela akuwona okuhlangenwe nakho engikufisela omunye umuntu, kepha uma bekufanele ngizihlukanise nanoma ngubani umndeni wami bekungaba yinketho yami yokuqala.

Futhi umyeni wami wakwazi ukuya ohambweni lwakhe oluhlelelwe kabusha lokushushuluza ngoMashi. Nokho, lapho engasekho, indodana yethu yangenwa umkhuhlane (uh-oh).
