LETTO 31 / BED 31
A marzo 2021 sono stato ricoverato d’urgenza presso l’ospedale cittadino colpito purtroppo, anch’io come tanti altri, da covid. Il personale medico e gli infermieri sono stati sempre molto gentili ed accudenti in quello che, da subito, per me è stato un nido di confort e sicurezza, consapevole e fiducioso nell’efficacia delle cure che mi venivano somministrate.
Per tutto il periodo del ricovero, da questo mia postazione – il letto 31 – da qualsiasi parte guardassi c’erano solamente cavi del monitor, cannule per l’ossigeno o flebo (che hanno sempre vincolato i miei movimenti), ma anche da un lato una tenda oltre la quale non sapevo mai cosa succedeva, e dall’altro una finestra che scandiva lo scorrere del tempo con il mutare continuo di luci e ombre.
Non avevo molta possibilità di movimento, ma per quanto possibile, da questo insolito punto d’osservazione utilizzando lo smatphone, ho cercato di documentare quanto succedeva intorno a me, ma c’erano sempre di mezzo dei fili, la tenda e la finestra, diventati col tempo i miei compagni d’avventura.
In March 2021 I was rushed to the city hospital unfortunately hit, like many others, by covid. The medical staff and nurses have always been very kind and attentive in what was immediately a nest of comfort and safety for me, aware and confident in the effectiveness of the treatments that were administered to me.
Throughout the period of hospitalization, from this position of mine – bed 31 – wherever I looked there were only monitor cables, oxygen cannulas or drips (which have always restricted my movements), but also on one side a curtain beyond which I never knew what was happening, and on the other a window that marked the passage of time with the continuous change of lights and shadows.
I didn't have much room for movement, but as far as possible, from this unusual vantage point using the smatphone, I tried to document what was happening around me, but there were always wires involved, the curtain and the window, which had become over time my adventure companions.
