Chu Tianyu smiled bitterly: "Teacher Qi, I really don't know what my friend's mother's name is, just tell me what kind of disease she has." ”

Qi Huijing let out a long sigh and said, "Syringomyelia." ”

Chu Tianyu immediately exclaimed, "What?syringomyelia?"

It is no wonder that Chu Tianyu is so out of shape, this disease cannot be cured at all with current medical technology, it is the same level of terminal disease as cancer, and the degree of pain is sometimes more painful than cancer, but it is not reflected physically, but mentally.

As we all know, patients with advanced cancer are mainly pain, but they can be relieved by playing Demerol, but there is no pain in the syringa physical, mainly mental, the cause of this disease has not yet been understood, and the lesion is characterized by the formation of tubular cavities in the spinal cord (mainly gray matter) and glial (non-nerve cell) hyperplasia.

In the vernacular, people with this disease will slowly watch their hands and feet gradually unable to move, and in the later stage, the whole person is frozen in bed and can't even move his fingers, and finally he can't even breathe, in the words of the common people, he is suffocated to death, the reason is that the lesion of the spinal cord causes the patient to be unable to breathe spontaneously.

The pain is here, a person who was originally alive and kicking, watching himself lose his ability to move a little bit, but there is no way to cure or even delay the degeneration of losing his mobility, he can only watch himself unable to move a little bit, and finally fall on the bed and can't even breathe, which is like cutting with a blunt knife when killing someone, and the degree of pain is far more than killing with a knife.

Many patients with syringomyelia are unable to commit suicide even if they want to, because they don't have the strength to commit suicide, and they can't do it if they want to die immediately and get relief, and life has lost all its dignity in the face of syringomyelia, and can only slowly bear the torture of the disease.

Qi Huijing nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, it's syringomyelia, she has been ill for three years, and now only one hand can move a little, and the other parts can't move at all." ”

Chu Tianyu finally understood why Chu Yuhe said last night that it was better not to live if she died, she was healthy, but she had served her mother for three years, a year was three hundred and sixty-five days, how many days was three years? But she can only watch, she can't help her mother, this sense of powerlessness is a heavy mental blow to anyone, Chu Yuhe's mother lives in despair every day, waiting for death in fear, Chu Yuhe also lives in despair, and the pain in her heart is no less than her mother.

For more than 1,000 days, a person has lived in despair and pain all day long, and his spirit has not collapsed, which is already rare, and I am afraid that ordinary people have already completely collapsed.

It is hard for Chu Tianyu to imagine how Chu Yuhe survived for more than a thousand days, this gentle woman who is as gentle as jade has shouldered the burden of life alone, desperate and difficult to live in this world, this torment is difficult for ordinary people to understand, Chu Tianyu is very distressed about Chu Yuhe.

Chu Tianyu said helplessly: "How long has her mother been unable to move?"

Qi Huijing sighed and said, "It's been more than a year. ”

Chu Tianyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh again, for more than a year, Chu Yuhe not only had to live desperately and hard, but also came to serve her mother every day, turning over, wiping her back, serving feces and urine, not to mention that she was a weak woman, even if it was a strong man who had been serving patients like this all day for more than a year, he would not be able to bear it for a long time.

People who have not served paralyzed in bed can not experience the taste of torment, first of all, turning over, wiping the back is a personal work, don't look at the patient may not be able to lose a hundred pounds, but when turning over and wiping the back, it is quite laborious, because he is a person, not a dead object, moving a hundred pounds or four or five pounds and moving a patient less than a hundred pounds are completely two concepts, four or five pieces of hard work to carry it up, but people can fight with the dead object to resist hard dragging?

This is obviously impossible, when turning the patient, you have to consider whether his hands and feet will be pressed or even broken because of the turning, so you can't use all your strength, you have to do it little by little, this is quite a physically demanding job.

In addition to constantly observing the patient's condition, if something is slightly wrong, you have to go to the doctor. Doctor, and paralyzed patients are often very many, because long-term bed rest can easily lead to lung infection, coughing up phlegm he himself does not have much strength to cough it out, because the accumulation of sputum also leads to lung infection, every day to pat him on the back, let the patient cough up the sputum, and every half an hour to measure his temperature, once the fever, not immediately use antipyretic drugs, but to rub his body, which is also a heavy physical work.

This is only one of the conditions of paralyzed patients, the most important thing is to observe the patient's mental state, once there is mental malaise, you have to quickly go to the doctor to see, don't underestimate mental malaise, it is likely that there is a major lesion in the patient's body.

For patients paralyzed in bed every day is torment, for the accompanying family is also a huge mental torment, a few days will be bored with such escort work, and even have their own relatives how not to die quickly, so that he can be liberated, he can also be liberated, whenever there is such a thought, the accompanying person will have a deep sense of guilt in his heart, that is his dearest person, how can he hope that he will die?

For the person who accompanies the caregiver, they have to endure great physical and mental suffering every day, which is unimaginable for those who have not experienced it.

Chu Tianyu really didn't know how he had resisted this year.

He sighed and said, "Isn't there anyone to help her?"

Qi Huijing sighed helplessly again: "This girl is very pitiful, she has no relatives at home, she used to have a father who could help her, but half a year ago, his mother's condition suddenly began to deteriorate, and his father was in a hurry and had a massive hemorrhage in the brain stem, and he disappeared in a few days." ”

Chu Tianyu exclaimed again, "Why did her father die?"

Qi Huijing looked at Chu Tianyu in surprise and said, "Aren't you friends?"

Chu Tianyu shook his head and said, "I don't know, she didn't tell me." ”

At this moment, Chu Tianyu wanted to call Chu Yuhe over and asked her loudly - how did you survive it?

Her mother had syringomyelia, her condition was getting worse day by day, she was already in self-blame and despair, and her father died suddenly, which was a huge blow to anyone, and other people were estimated to have a mental breakdown, but Chu Yuhe actually resisted, how did she persevere?

Qi Huijing continued: "This girl is also filial, in order to continue the treatment for her mother, she sold the house, what would she do if she was replaced by someone else, anyway, the disease could not be cured, and she would have been pulled home and waited for death, but she just didn't want to give up treatment, and we also persuaded her, there is no need for treatment, so there is no need to spend money, this is a bottomless pit, in the end, people and money are empty, there is no need for this, but she just doesn't listen." ”

Chu Tianyu said helplessly: "Does she still owe hospitalization fees?"

Qi Huijing thought for a while and said, "It seems to be owed, but I really don't know how much I owe, you can ask the nurse about this." "The doctor only treats the patient, and he doesn't care much about the cost, usually the nurse is responsible for the cost, and the nurse goes to tell the family if the fee is owed, and it is reasonable for Qi Huijing not to know.

Chu Tianyu thanked Qi Huijing and turned around and went out, came to the nurse's station and asked if it was really in arrears, it was not too many thousands of yuan, Chu Tianyu didn't want to go to the inpatient to pay 100,000 yuan to Chu Yuhe's mother, he really wanted to help Chu Yuhe, he really couldn't bear to see her resist so hard alone, in this way, she would have a nervous breakdown sooner or later, in fact, Chu Yuhe was drunk last night, and there were already such signs.

Chu Tianyu didn't go to Chu Yuhe, it was right to help her, but there was no need to say how I could help you in front of her, Chu Tianyu felt that there was a feeling of retribution.

Now Chu Tianyu not only knows what happened to Chu Yuhe, but also knows why she lives in the alley where she is, but these are not important, what he thinks about is how to further help Chu Yuhe, anyway, if Chu Yuhe hadn't forgiven him at the beginning, he would definitely not have today, but how to help her? Just pay her hospitalization fees? This is obviously a palliative treatment, if you want to help her, you should think about how to treat her mother's illness.

However, syringomyelia is not an effective treatment even in countries with developed medical technology, let alone in China.

Chu Tianyu had no choice but to think about going back to the end of the world and asking Edward, after all, that time and space was different from the time and space he was in, and the diseases that he couldn't treat in this time and space might have a way to replace it with the time and space in the last days.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianyu decided to go to the end of the world at night.

He changed his clothes and was about to leave, who would have thought that he would see Chu Yuhe as soon as he arrived at the door, Chu Tianyu was stunned, why did she come?

Chu Yuhe walked over and suddenly bowed deeply to Chu Tianyu and said, "Thank you." Obviously, she knew that Chu Tianyu had paid her mother 100,000 yuan for hospitalization, Chu Yuhe didn't want this money, but now she couldn't raise her mother's treatment expenses, everything she could sell at home was sold, and her relatives and friends had borrowed it, so where did she go to get money?

Chu Tianyu smiled bitterly: "Teacher Chu, don't be like this, I should help you." ”

Chu Yuhe raised his head and said stubbornly: "No, you have no obligation to help me, so I have to thank you, but I really don't have the money to pay you back now, if you give me some time, I will definitely return the money to you." ”
