Enjoy Each Moment.
Submitted by: Raj
Kerala IndiaI hail from a small town in the Thrissur district of Kerala, India. Born to beautiful parents, has a loving and caring sister, beautiful caring and loving wife and caring and trustable brother in law I practiced medicine and was working in India from 1998 to 2019 Currently I am a Practising Gastroenterologist in UAE
It was in 2017 when I learned about The Secret and The Magic. My friend in the US introduced to me the beauty of gratitude. We used to have long chats and discuss the beauty of The Magic. Ever since 2017 I have been practicing The Magic and there are lots of stories I can share, but now I am going to share a story that I always wished to share and I must share.
Last year during the start of winter and on my birthday, I woke up with fatigue, chills, and generalized discomfort. Normally I wake up when the phone rings as it’s been a habit since my residency days. On that day I missed a few of my calls from people wanting to wish me a happy birthday.
When I woke up I felt thankful for each moment in my last 40 years of life and I was grateful for the Universe giving me the last 40 years of life filled with happiness, health, and wealth.
I enjoyed each moment of that day but after 24 hours, my fatigue and fever increased. In view of the Covid 19 pandemic at the time, I consulted my colleague and got a Covid 19 test. Then I went home and relaxed.
The next day a call came from my friend and he told me I tested positive for COVID 19. I didn’t feel anything. Rather than self diagnosing things, I consulted my colleague on the same evening and he did a couple of blood tests and an x ray. After he gave me the results and told me that felt he should admit me to the hospital because I had pneumonia.
Suddenly I realized that I had very little time to do certain things before I got admitted. These are the few moments in your life where life gives you just enough time to act. I asked permission and went to my flat, packed my things, and locked up, giving the lock number to my close friend. I always keep a bag with all necessary items. I informed my close friend and took my bag and went to get admitted.
I purposefully didn’t inform my parents and my fiancée, now my wife.
Within a few days, my close friend circle came to know about my illness and they were always kept in the loop. I realized that I had a dreaded illness and that it was progressing. I had a high-grade fever with chills for 7 consecutive days and my breathing pattern was deteriorating. So whatever money I had left in my bank accounts I transferred to my parents’ and sister’s accounts. I kept soft copies of all documents on my phone
and shared all my phone passcodes and card PIN numbers with my brother-in-law and close friend. I informed them regarding my regular donations and to keep those regular donations even in my absence.
After I had done all of those things I got relaxed! I felt that all my efforts during the last 40 years didn’t go in vain. After that, I enjoyed each moment in the hospital. The friendly staff and all the doctors were my colleagues. I wished to stay in the same hospital where I worked. All those beautiful people went out of their way to help me. My friends were outside the hospital waiting, giving me a message to reach out for their help any time. I chatted with all those great people that I had met in my life and I felt grateful for those great 40 years. My phone flooded with messages and prayers. There were many who were enquiring about me without my knowledge. In spite of my disease progression, I felt happy.
Then I was shifted to the ICU for monitoring. After this point, I informed my brother-in-law and keep this information away from my fiancée, my parents, and the rest of the relatives and he handled it beautifully.
Days went by and I was very thankful for all those things I encountered in life. Even if I were to die I said to myself that I would not change anything. I would have done everything the same way in my life. I remembered my countless blessings, I cherished each moment I had and the many great times with my family and friends. I never felt bad and I was always immersed in a deluge of thankful tears. I never inquired about my disease progression or my lab reports, I trusted my staff and my doctors.
Slowly I started recovering. My oxygenation improved, I slowly started walking and over the next few days, I slowly started walking back into my life. After 17 days I was discharged.
I am so thankful for the last year. I want to name each person I am grateful for but that in itself would be a book! I named each one of them doing The Magic practices though.
I am really grateful to the Universe for all those great provisions that were made to accommodate this small life. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you always.
