Chapter 55 Alzheimer's disease
On the weekend of this week, Fan Shasha and the others went to Xiatang Village to see Grandpa Zhao, and when they arrived at Grandpa Zhao's house, they knocked on the door several times but no one opened it.
But this time it wasn't because Grandpa Zhao went out to play, because the door was locked from the inside, which proved that Grandpa Zhao should still be inside.
Miao Fang looked in through the window, she saw Zhao Anbang lying on the bed, it was estimated that he was taking a nap.
She shouted twice: "Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Zhao, I'm Xiao Miao, can you open the door for us?"
Fan Shasha also felt that something was wrong, and began to knock on the door vigorously: "Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Zhao, open the door!"
Miao Fang didn't hear Zhao Anbang's movement for a while, and she was immediately panicked, she hurriedly called Wan Min'an, who was treating Grandma Zhou at Zhou Lifen's house at this time, and after the phone was connected, she immediately said: "Chief Vanke, Grandpa Zhao's situation seems to be a little wrong!
Wan Min'an over there received a call, and ran over within ten minutes, and Miao Fang and they slammed the door open, and at the moment the door opened, Zhao Anbang on the bed seemed to be awake, he sat up slowly, and looked blankly at a room of people in white coats, and it took a while to react: "Chief Wan, you are here......"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be in a big deal, Wan Minan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Miao Fang and Fan Shasha are still worried...... Since Grandpa Zhao is fine, why didn't Grandpa Zhao react when they knocked on the door so vigorously just now? Grandpa Zhao didn't have any symptoms of bad ears before, it was impossible not to hear it!
Zhao Anbang got up from the bed, walked to Wan Min'an's side and said, "Chief Wan, I saw you on TV a few days ago, you are on TV, you are so majestic!"
Wan Minan smiled embarrassedly and asked him, "Uncle Zhao, are you okay lately?"
Zhao Anbang nodded: "Okay, there is no pain or disease!"
"That's good, I knocked on the door for a long time and didn't open it, we thought you were sick...... I've broken the door, and I'll pay you a new lock. Wan Min'an said embarrassedly.
Zhao Anbang waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I'll fix it myself." ”
He seems to have automatically ignored the fact that Wan Min'an just mentioned that he didn't wake up when he knocked on the door?
Miao Fang walked over and repeated again: "Grandpa Zhao, we are ready to change the dressing for you." Have you been sleeping well lately? We've been shouting for a while, and you haven't woken up. ”
Zhao Anbang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "Yes, I have slept so well recently that thunder at night can't wake me up." ”
Miao Fang didn't say anything more, and changed the medicine for him with Fan Shasha, and talked to him for a while. Wan Minan also continued to go back to Zhou Lifen's house.
At this time, an old man with a shovel passed by the door, Zhao Anbang saw him and beckoned to him: "Old Sun, I will go to you tomorrow to play cards." ”
The old man surnamed Sun hurriedly waved his hand and rejected him: "You can't settle your account, I won't fight you." ”
Zhao Anbang seemed a little embarrassed: "Who said I couldn't figure it out?"
Grandpa Sun said: "Yesterday playing cards, I won you in the last game, and you won't admit it in the next game, and said that you won me in the last game, and you have to offset with me! ”
Zhao Anbang was anxious, immediately stood up and went to get his wallet, and said: "How much did I owe you yesterday? I will give it to you! I am not the kind of person who owes money and does not pay it back!"
Grandpa Sun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not a few dollars, you really forgot it." I'm going to harvest wheat tomorrow, so I'm not going to play cards with you. Now that the doctor is here, you can entertain people, and I'll go first. ”
After Zhao Anbang stretched his head to see him leave, he said to Fan Shasha and Miao Fang embarrassedly: "I sometimes have a bad memory, and I don't really want to repay the debt." ”
Fan Shasha smiled and nodded: "I believe in you, I have been in contact with you for more than three years, and I know that you are very generous, and you usually give us any delicious food and drink, how can you rely on a few yuan?"
Zhao Anbang nodded: "Hey, you can just believe me." ”
After leaving Zhao Anbang's house, Fan Shasha said to Miao Fang: "Sister Miao, I remember calling Grandpa Zhao to go to the hospital last week to watch Vanke Chang on TV, and he also forgot about it, there were a few times before...... I don't think it's an accident that he forgot to give money while playing cards, maybe he was in a physical condition. ”
Miao Fang responded: "I think so...... Did you notice a small detail just now? Chief Vanke asked him why he slept so soundly one minute, but the next minute he didn't reply to the question, as if he had a temporary amnesia...... It can't be Alzheimer's, right?"
Fan Shasha didn't dare to make a conclusion, and said, "Why don't you talk to the section chief and take Grandpa Zhao to the hospital for a check-up?"
Miao Fang nodded in agreement.
After seeing Wan Minan, the two of them told him about it, and Wan Minan then went to take Zhao Anbang to the hospital for head CT and brain wave testing.
After the test results, his β amyloid 1-42 (Aβ1-42) concentration decreased and the total Tau protein concentration increased, indicating a clear indication of Alzheimer's disease.
This disease is not uncommon among the elderly, and memory loss is only the mildest symptom at the beginning, after the second stage, the memory decline will become more and more serious, and the cognition of things will gradually become impaired, and even incontinence...... In severe dementia, the patient will have severe memory loss, will not be able to take care of himself in daily life, and can only have primitive reflexes such as strong grasping, groping and sucking like a baby, and eventually will fall unconscious.
Ordinary elderly people may have family members to take care of them when they suffer from this disease, but Zhao Anbang has been lonely for most of his life, and he has nothing at this time.
In response to Zhao Anbang's matter, Wan Minan said at the meeting: "Since we are responsible for treating him, let's be responsible for the end, at present, he is still in the early stage, I applied for a long-term inpatient ward with the dean, and our team members are usually free, so we will take care of Grandpa Zhao more, and after it is controlled, we will look at the situation and make the next step." ”
Everyone in the team expressed their willingness to take on the responsibility.
Zhao Anbang is also very cooperative, he does whatever the doctors and nurses say, and is often used by the nurses as a role model for Alzheimer's patients, so that other patients can also learn from Grandpa Zhao.
Ju Ze also often brings Niannian over to accompany him.
Nian Nian is now in the second grade of elementary school, and her talent in art is beginning to show off gradually, Ju Ze enrolled her in a sketch class, and after a while, Nian Nian's paintings have both god and shape.
She ran to the hospital after class every day and used her own pen and paper to record Zhao Anbang's life in the hospital, sometimes the nurse took him to do arithmetic problems, sometimes he and several patients danced square dance together, and sometimes he and Ju Ze Fan Shasha went to the cafeteria to eat together......
Every portrait is what he looks like with others, so that even if he gradually forgets his past in the future, when he sees these portraits, he should know that he is not alone.
……
Towards the end of the year, Fan Shasha's parents came back from out of town, and Grandma Fan called Ju Ze back, and she wanted to come forward to persuade Fan Shasha's parents for Ju Ze.
In fact, after Grandma Fan called and told them again last time, Fan Shasha's parents' willingness to oppose was not so strong, Fan Shasha's father was raised by Grandma Fan, he knew very well his mother's vision, and the person she fancied would not be bad.
This time, Ju Ze passed, and the attitude of the Fan family's parents was much better, although they were still not too enthusiastic, but they were obviously not as repulsive as the first time.
After the family finished eating, Fan's mother deliberately separated Fan Shasha, and then had a private conversation with Ju Ze with Fan's father.
Father Fan had a calm attitude and asked Ju Ze solemnly: "You are in love with Sasha, are you rushing to get married?"
Ju Ze nodded hurriedly: "Yes." If my aunt and uncle agree, we can soon get ready to get married. ”
Father Fan believes this, if the current young people are not rushing to get married, it will be difficult to be together for about three years, and they will take care of each other's elders for each other.
"Okay, I have something to tell you first, and if you think it's okay, we can get Sasha to marry you. ”
Ju Ze sat up straight honestly: "Uncle, you say." ”
"You should already know about our family's situation, although it is a rural hukou, but it is practical and hardworking, and there are some savings in the past few years, so the two of us will not be a burden to you in the future. Correspondingly, I hope your parents don't become a burden to Sasha. ”
Ju Ze thought for a while, and responded very seriously: "Uncle, I don't quite understand what you mean, when you say cumbersome, do you mean that we support our parents? If you mean this, I don't think I can promise you." No matter what kind of people my parents are, what kind of wrong things they have done, they are my parents, and it is their responsibility for me to support them when they are old. Now my mother has another family, and I don't know if she needs me to support her, but I won't refuse if she needs to. Of course, Sasha and I will also support you and your aunt, as well as your grandmother. ”
Father Fan was speechless, but the key Ju Ze brought the two of them with him, and did not say that he only supported his parents and did not support them, so he couldn't argue......
Fan's mother felt more and more that Ju Ze was sincere, touched Fan's father, who was about to get angry, and then said to Ju Ze: "You are right, you are very responsible." But we don't want Sasha to have a hard time with you...... Let me say it directly, we don't dislike you for having no family, your personal conditions, we are both satisfied, we have a stable job, and we are kind and responsible. As for your sister, a little girl, it's okay to raise it, it doesn't cost much, and she will have her own family after she gets married after college...... We're worried about your dad, and after your dad gets out of prison, he won't be able to find a job in a small place like ours. He's only about fifty years old, isn't he? If he can't find a job when he comes out, will you and Sasha have to support him from now on?"
It turned out that they were worried about this...... Ju Ze smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could also understand that raising a child was a hundred years old, and he was often worried about ninety-nine, and he would marry his daughter himself, and he definitely didn't want his daughter to be old and young in the past.
He explained: "Uncle and aunt, I understand what you mean, you don't have to worry, my father's burden will not be very heavy, he has a good education, and his personality is not willing to sit and eat his children, if he can't find a job in this county, he will go to the big city." In addition, he has been paying various insurances for more than 30 years, and now these insurances are still available, and this money is enough for his life after retirement. ”
