Covid-19 is in Desember 2020 by \u2019n 30-jarige inwoner van Robertson gediagnoseer. Vandag is sy lewe steeds onherroeplik verander deur \u2019n virus wat talle nog afmaak \u201cas net nog \u2019n griep\u201d.<\/p>\n
Brandon Jackson is \u2019n hardwerkende man en pa wat enigiets vir sy gesin sal doen \u2013 maar \u2019n man wat elke dag so siek is dat hy sukkel om net die basiese te kan doen.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het Covid-19 opgedoen en gedink dit is iets wat sal oorwaai. My immuunstelsel was altyd sterk en ek kon enige siekte lag-lag oorkom \u2013 nie di\u00e9 een nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy verduidelik hoe hy sy smaaksin verloor het. Daarna het hy gesukkel met sy asemhaling en toe lukraak pyn oor sy hele lyf gekry. Hy vertel hy hoes, sy maag spoel ongereeld, sy keel is seer en sy mond voel droog. <\/p>\n
Wat vir ander die gewone simptome van Covid-19 is en n\u00e1 enkele weke gewoonlik opklaar, is dit bykans twee jaar later steeds sy werklikheid.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk was al by \u2019n magdom dokters. Vir almal van hulle is dit vreemd. Ek gebruik soveel medikasie \u2013 selfs anti-depressante. Ek het angs ontwikkel. Ek verloor pal gewig. My vel slaan uit. Bykans geen oomblik gaan verby sonder dat ek die een of ander soort pyn of ongemak ervaar nie,\u201d verduidelik hy emosioneel.<\/p>\n
\u201cLang-covid\u201d is \u2019n term wat w\u00eareldwyd opslae maak. Dit is die simptome waarmee sommige by wie Covid-19 gediagnoseer is vandag nog sit. Behandeling word w\u00eareldwyd gesoek en medici probeer hul bes om \u2019n kuur hiervoor te kry. <\/p>\n
\u201cMense dink nie dit is ernstig nie. Ek weet dit is. Covid-19 het ons almal se lewe verander. Dit het myne drasties verander. Dit het my verhoudings met mense be\u00efnvloed. Dit het my verhouding met my vrou en kinders verander. Dit het my werk negatief be\u00efnvloed,\u201d vertel die 30-jarige vurkhyserbe\u00adstuurder van Robertson.<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea die finansi\u00eble slag is ewe erg.<\/p>\n
\u201cMedikasie, dokters, spesiale kos \u2013 dit ruk my sak. Waar is die hulp vir ons? Wanneer gaan ek ooit weer normaal wees? Dit is \u2019n vraag wat ek elke dag vra. Dit is moeilik en dit gaan soms nog erger.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea hy staan sterk in sy geloof en bid vir \u2019n oplossing van mediese kenners.<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea ook mense moenie Covid-19 ligtelik opneem nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is nie iets om mee te speel nie. Dit is ook nie \u2019n kwessie van glo jy daarin of nie, want die bewyse is groot. Kyk na my. Kyk na my lewe. Wees dankbaar as jy nie deur covid geraak is nie, maar weet dat jou lewe daardeur verander kan word.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk wil mense inlig en vertel dat jou lewe oornag kan verander,\u201d voeg hy by.<\/p>\n
Jackson verduidelik dat hy maar steeds elke dag werk toe gaan, \u2019n glimlag opplak en probeer aangaan.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is nie maklik nie, maar die Here dra my deur.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
