Chapter 22: Days of Hospitalization
In the past, Li Huatong was very afraid of getting sick, and he was also afraid of going to the hospital, and he was even more afraid of the feeling of lying alone at home and not dying. Now I have lived alone for a long time, but I have to be brave, and I have the courage to face the doctors, the colorful pills, the thin needles, the noise of the crowds and the ubiquitous waiting. It takes patience and even more courage. Especially when Li Huatong is in menopause, she may really be full of tests.
Urticaria has been pestering her for almost a month, in addition to seeing the doctor take medicine, she also did allergen screening, and there are many that cannot be eaten or touched, such as walnuts, apples, lentils, shiitake mushrooms, red peppers, garlic and other foods, as well as other mites, air dust, poplar catkins, etc., after reading the report, she felt that this earth was no longer suitable for her Li Huatong to live. I went to the hospital on Sunday, went to the outpatient dermatology department at eight o'clock, did an examination, prescribed medicine, and gave injections, and it was already 11:30 when I got home. Yesterday was Saturday, and she also went, because there were too many people and there were other urgent matters to deal with, so she left without registration. Today is Sunday, thinking that there are fewer people, but it turns out that the number of people has not decreased at all, except for the different faces of the doctors. Keep telling yourself to be patient and patient and patient. The truth is that patience is the only way, because if you don't bear it, who will pay attention to you! The hospital is in full swing, and Li Huatong has never missed that quiet home more than now. When she finally broke through the encirclement and returned home, she could lie on the bed and catch her breath, and she really felt happiness! What happiness is, it is very simple, it is to lie quietly on her own bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
Li Huatong also felt that even the slightest illness can make people question the meaning of life, lose confidence in life, and make people feel that life is not easy. Maybe you shouldn't complain, it's something that happens to everyone. However, according to psychology, it must be beneficial to people to complain!
More than 20 years ago, the young Li Huatong was admitted to the hospital because of her willfulness, and it was a very difficult time for her. Because at that time, she really didn't understand that if there was nothing to worry about, it was a good time in the world!
The eldest sister of the interesting patient was discharged from the hospital in a few days, and Li Huatong was the only one left in the ward. Seriously, his health improved slightly, and Li Huatong had the idea of being discharged from the hospital. She felt that this was not good for her image in the unit, and she lived in the hospital like this at a young age, so she wondered what the people in the unit would say about her? However, Xu Ruobin was not at ease, and did not discuss with her, but muttered to the attending doctor, and finally rejected Li Huatong's discharge proposal 3-1.
Since he can't get out of the hospital all of a sudden, let's just come and be safe! Li Huatong decided to take advantage of this time to read a few books, so that he could nourish his body and replenish his spiritual food at the same time.
She opened the Spanish Travel Notes. Reading Linda's "Spanish Travel Notes" is not like reading a travelogue, but like reading the history of Spain. When I closed the book, I felt that Spain in the book was very different from what I remembered. The impression of Spain comes from world history textbooks, from football matches and football stars, from the beautiful Barcelona in pictures, and from the warm, romantic and simple Spaniards in film and television dramas. When I came into contact with Linda's book, I realized that Spain's modernization and modernization had gone through so much pain, and it can be said that it was scarred. The Romans invaded Spain and left traces of famous buildings, such as famous aqueducts, and then disappeared. The Arabs invaded Spain and left some traces in the end. And the biggest and deepest scar left by the Spaniards themselves is the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. Their own people and their own people fought back and forth, killing each other, and it can be said that there were countless casualties. Compared with our China's liberation war, it seems that the battle was more intense, and the results were more tragic. Calling back and forth, in the end, Spain was left with a desolate and sad face. If you read world history in the past, you probably know that after the Spanish Civil War, a dictator Franco emerged. Dazhi should be as hateful as Hitler and Mussolini. However, after reading "Spanish Travel Notes" and slowly getting to know this person, I realized that it was not what I imagined it to be. Human beings are complex animals and are multifaceted. After watching the things that happened to Franco, I felt that this person was still a little cute, and even a respectable person in some ways. The civil war started, it was Franco's republican Spain **, compared to the complex ideas of Spain in the north, Franco was just a simple soldier, only knew how to fight, and had no political ideas. Even if he did not hesitate to rely on the military power of Nazi Germany Hitler and Italian Mussolini in order to win the war, many people may think that he must be in the same league as them. The northern republican Spain** with the help of the combined forces of the Communist International, there were American, British, Canadian and even Chinese and other countries appeared at the scene of the Spanish Civil War, and this point in time was before World War II, World War II had not yet broken out, in fact, a rehearsal had begun in Spain. Spain** transported most of the gold reserves brought back from the Americas during the period of world hegemony to the Soviet Union, hoping that the Soviet Union could help it preserve, and the Soviet Union sold some weapons to Spain** and sent a small number of troops to support it, but the gold sent to the Soviet Union for preservation has not been returned to Spain**. In addition, some familiar celebrities have also appeared on the battlefields of Spain, such as Bethune in Canada, Hemingway in the United States, and George Orr. Hemingway wrote a large number of works, such as "For Whom the Bell Strikes", as well as other works about the Spanish Civil War, such as "Half of Spain is Dead". The Spanish Civil War was fought for a long time, fought back and forth, and killed too many people, including a large number of Spanish artists. In the end, there were too many distracting thoughts, and the northern republicans lost and went into exile. Franco eventually won the war and established a dictatorship**, which lasted forty years. The Franco described in the book is not as dry as in the history textbooks, he is a small, somewhat athletic, regular general, a parent who does not smoke or drink, loves his family and children, and is a loving father who will accompany his daughter to eat whenever he has free time. It is conceivable that after the civil war, Spain was in ruins, and it was not easy to stop the war and stabilize the country. What's more, there are still various conflicts in the country, the exiles are constantly causing trouble, and there are still several regions in the country shouting for autonomy or even independence. Under such circumstances, if Franco does not take out the dictatorial stick, he really can't control the scene and can't control the overall situation. It's like watching a play in my hometown when I was a child, someone had to hold a bamboo pole to maintain order. Where the people were too noisy and someone wanted to come out, they would knock them hard with a bamboo pole a few times and knock their heads down. And even more unfortunately, World War II broke out. One of Spain's most important military strongholds was the island of Gibraltar, which was in the hands of the Allied British at the time. Hitler met with Franco in the hope of gaining access to North Africa through Spain, and Germany helping Spain to take Gibraltar back from the British. In the Spanish Civil War, Germany, Italy and Hitler played a major role in Franco's defeat of northern Spain. However, the wise Franco managed to refuse, and with great determination he kept Spain's neutral position, without giving Germany and Italy any help. In turn, it gave a lot of covert support to the British and French allies. For example, to allow refugees to enter Spain, for example, to provide various facilities for Allied troops, etc. Moreover, this dictator is not only good at fighting, but also very good at developing the economy, and did not close the country to the outside world after the war. However, the criticism of him is mainly dictatorship and autocracy, and there is no progress in the construction of democratic politics. Political undemocracy will inevitably drag down economic and social development, and even hinder Spain's modernization. As it turned out, just a year after his death, Spanish democracy was already eager to push for political reform. From this point of view, simply calling Franco a dictator is a biased evaluation of him.
"Li Huatong, Li Huatong!" Li Huatong, who was immersed in Spanish history, suddenly heard someone shouting her name, raised her head, and it turned out to be Gu Xiaobo and Huang Xiaoya who came to see her. She was a little excited, and said, "Why are you here? You are so busy with work, is Xu Ruobin talking too much?" Gu Xiaobo put the fruit in his hand on the bedside table, grinned and said, "I heard that you are coquettish, can you not come and take a look?" Huang Xiaoya punched him and said, "Look at him, he will never be serious." Li Huatong said: "Take care of him, he just owes it to clean up!" Gu Xiaobo laughed and said, "Hurry up and get better, the peony moon season is blooming outside, let's go to the park together!" Li Huatong replied: "I want to too, in fact, there is nothing to do, but the doctor just won't let him be discharged, it's really depressing!" Huang Xiaoya punched Gu Xiaobo again, comforted Li Huatong and said, "You listen to his nonsense." Since you are here, listen to the doctor's words and treat it well. The body is the most important thing in a person's life, and you have to cherish yourself!" Li Huatong took her hand and nodded.
Gu Xiaobo talked about other high school classmates again, saying that a few days ago, Zhang Yuhua from Yangjiagou and his party of three people came to Luochuan to do business, and several people had lunch together, and everyone asked about Li Huatong's recent situation during the meal. Li Huatong remembered Zhang Yuhua, who always had high hair and walked quickly, and only remembered that he was a very active boy. Gu Xiaobo said that he was very lively and cheerful in high school, and he did a lot of bad things, but he didn't admit it at dinner. When Li Huatong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
When it comes to high school, the two of them are chatting passionately and can't stop. Li Huatong looked at Gu Xiaobo unsatisfied, but Huang Xiaoya on the side couldn't insert a word, a little embarrassed. She hurriedly intercepted Gu Xiaobo's words and said, "Xiaoya Xiaobo, thank you for coming to see me! It's not early, let's go, I don't have anything to do, when I am discharged from the hospital, let's make another appointment and go to the garden together!" Gu Xiaobo smiled heartlessly, and Huang Xiaoya replied: "Okay, you must take good care of yourself, we will wait for you!"
The two of them left at the urging of Li Huatong, and the ward returned to its former tranquility.
