Chapter 43: Serious Internal Injuries

I don't know how long it took for me to slowly open my eyes, and I sat up and looked around, but it was dim in front of me, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was dead.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my chest and I coughed a few times, and at the same time I felt a fishy salty cough out of my mouth, although I couldn't see clearly, but I knew that I must have coughed up blood, I moved my limbs to check my whole body and found that there was no broken place.

I was so glad that I didn't break a bone after falling from such a high place, I touched the sand under me and thought that it was the sand that saved me, and the soft sand cushioned most of the force, so I didn't fall to my death.

I reluctantly stood up and walked a few steps against the tree, and found that there was really no fracture in my body, but every time I breathed, there would be severe pain in my chest, and I checked that my ribs were not broken, and I was relieved, with my symptoms, my lungs were injured, if the ribs were broken and pierced into the lobes of the lungs, it would be over, and I would definitely die on this desert island.

Luckily, my ribs weren't broken, and I was lucky that it was just a simple internal injury, probably a ruptured lung.

The pain proved that I was still alive, and I knew in my heart that the fishing boat was long gone, and now I had to go back to the hut, so I picked up two coconuts and slowly walked towards the hut.

When I got back to the hut, I collapsed on my bed and fell asleep,,,,

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn, and I slowly sat up to find that my chest hurt even more, and every time I coughed, blood came out.

I knew that my lungs were badly damaged, and to make matters worse, I went out to pee and found that my urine was red, which also proved that my kidneys or urinary system were also injured.

All I can do now is lie down and rest, because I don't have any medication or treatment on this desert island, and I rely entirely on my own immune system and my own physical fitness to repair my pain.

If I hadn't healed myself, I'd never have left this deserted island, and when I was found, I was left with only a pile of bones, and the thought of this place greeted me with sadness.

But I told myself that my injuries should not be that serious, if there was a severe lung rupture I would have died of heavy bleeding, even if it was a moderate lung rupture I would have difficulty breathing due to excessive bleeding, but now I only have some coughing up blood and no symptoms of dyspnea, I only have a slight lung rupture or other damage.

Also, if the symptoms of blood in my urine are reduced in about two days, it proves that the kidney and urinary system injury is not serious, and then it depends on the next few days, if the symptoms are reduced, it will be easy to do.

These days, I have to reduce my activities and try to lie down and rest, but my food can only be eaten for three days, and what to do after three days If I go to search for food, it will be quite detrimental to my injury.

That's when Sunday came to me,,,,,,,,

I lay in bed for three days in a row, during which time I only brought back the coconuts that had been cut down, and there was still no sign of rain, and I only had less than 3 liters of water left, and there were less than 20 coconuts.

According to my minimum consumption, I can't survive ten days, and the food is gone, I must replenish energy and nutrition during the serious injury to facilitate the recovery of the injury, I endured the pain and took out the fishing cage and rearranged it, because the fishing cage was not harvested for three days, so this time the harvest of fish is a lot, saving some food for two or three days should be no problem.

I felt like I was coughing even more as I was collecting food, and I really couldn't exercise anymore, especially without any medication, and my recovery was very slow.

Thankfully, I don't have a fever, which proves that I don't have an infection, and when I peed today, my urine was normal, and there was no bleeding, so it seems that the kidney or urinary system injury is not serious.

I don't know why my chest doesn't hurt very much, but every time I breathe, I feel a little tightness in my chest and keep coughing up blood, it seems that my lung damage is very serious, and I have to stay still and rest.

I saw some information that said that the lobes of the human body have no pain, I feel that the pain in the chest should be the pain of other organs, and now the pain has been reduced to prove that the injury has begun to heal itself, but the damage to my lungs is still very serious, I feel that my breathing is a little difficult, especially when I am active, it seems that I must continue to recuperate.

But now the worse thing for me is that I have to run out of water and food, and I can barely go down to the sea to search for food, and I am sure that I will never be able to climb trees and pick coconuts, and I will not be able to last a few days without water.

But the sky was still clear, and there was not a single cloud in the sky, let alone precipitation.

But as the saying goes, God doesn't die of hunger, especially a smart and not blind bird like me.

I came up with a great solution to my drinking problem.

I don't have much potential in the face of adversity and difficulties, but I have to rack my brains and do everything I can to survive.

It occurred to me that when I made lemonade, I used the principle of evaporation, which means that I could evaporate seawater in the same way to get fresh water.

So I started to make the evaporation utensils, which were not the same as the last time I evaporated the lemonade, but I increased the steam pipes to facilitate the condensation of the water vapor.

In the process, I used three sections of bamboo, using the repair glue and cloth strips on the life raft to link the bamboo pipes, the bamboo pipes are two meters long to cool the water vapor, now the time is pressed and I can only use air to cool the water vapor directly, if the method is feasible, I will find a way to cool the water vapor with water in the future.

This is the only feasible solution to the freshwater problem, and it is also the last resort, if I fail, I will definitely die, but I am confident that this solution of distilling seawater will definitely work.

I put the other end of the bamboo tube in a relatively large plastic pot to let the cooled water vapor flow into it, and I poured the last fresh water into the plastic pot to let the bamboo pipe invade the water, so that the water vapor can be cooled in the water to avoid waste, and it can make up for the lack of air cooling water vapor.
