Quick trip to COVID hell and back

A 67-year-old with concurrent health conditions like myself is not expected to recover easily from COVID-19.

My wife, Becky, and Angel, our baby in the house who sleeps with us, had to immediately move to the guest room. More than anything else, I was worried that I might have infected them.I promptly started the regimen I have been advocating for COVID-19. But for the next four hours, the symptoms became worse. I felt too weak even to reach for the glass of water that was less than a foot away from my side of the bed.

But some details come back to me as vividly as when I was dreaming them, such as when I found myself in a big place as dark as Space Mountain. Instead of riding in a roller-coaster, I was sliding down a huge, labyrinthine slide and trying to slow my fall by grasping at its sides. I was yelling to God that I couldn’t hold on any longer: “Lord, hindi ko na kayang humawak!”I must have slept fitfully for more than two hours, and it was dark outside when I woke up.

SEEING THE LIGHT “I get my daily dose of sunlight in the garden. Everyone is advised I’m going out and all doors, sliding doors are left open so I don’t have to touch anything,” says Dr. Rafael Castillo.I informed our medical director at Manila Doctors’ Hospital and my colleagues at the Professional Regulatory Board of Medicine , with whom I met a few days earlier, that I had experienced possible COVID-19 symptoms that were promptly relieved.

I’m now on Day 10 as I write this, and by all indications, God has healed me completely, and with a miraculous rate of recovery.During my illness, I realized that we can actually talk with God, and get answers. Not that I saw His image or any bright light, nor did I hear His voice. Nothing of that sort.

I have other responsibilities, too. On top of hospital work, I have administrative, quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative duties as a member of the PRBOM. The days before I developed symptoms were particularly hectic, with an administrative hearing to preside over and an en banc face-to-face meeting with the board members.
