It has been hard especially for me as a dialysis patient to deal with this situation where my movements for one thing is very limited. My dialysis center or hospital is just forbidding me to go out of my province (even though I have no plans anyway) and report to them if I would go to any hospital.
It is not that easy to go to any hospital here now because we will be required to undergo a chest x-ray and CoViD test before and after we go to and from there and going back to our current dialysis centers. It is the new normal they said and it is just as difficult as heck for common people as the government is focusing its support to the so-called "frontliners" or health workers like doctors and nurses etc. who are dealing with treating the CoViD patients.
My parents are also senior citizens and like me are belonging to the "vulnerable sectors" of society from the CoViD. So we are not also allowed to go to supermarkets to buy our necessities.
My mother now just gives money to my sister to buy our daily needs but fortunately here in our place we can buy some of what we needed without any much restriction. But the municipal town government assigned for every group of villages a day where the people that lives therein can only buy their supply, you cannot just go to the public market in any day you wanted.
I also can feel the effect financially to me the burden about my dialysis sessions where I am charged with extra bills to pay because of the nurse's personal protective equipment (PPEs) and extra use of alcohols where it is solely charged unfortunately to the last batches of dialysis patients every session days, I belong to that group and it is an added problem for me.
With all these problems that I mentioned plus more I just have to have something to give my life a fighting chance and that is to earn some money so that I will not find myself wanting if and when I needed to pay for things that are necessary for me to survive and obviously for my dialysis sessions, high cost medicines, laboratory test requirements, etc.
We have to pray most of all to God so that we can get through this plague that is difficult to deal with and affecting our lives directly and indirectly.
