(294) Sickness in old age

(December 18, 2013)

My sister and brother-in-law, they are already in their old age and live in the capital.

Their lives are still very rich, and the combined pension of the two of them is six or seven thousand yuan per month, which is enough for their daily living expenses.

My sister and brother-in-law have three daughters and one boy, four children, the eldest is fifty years old, and the youngest is forty years old.

Moreover, the third generation of my sister and brother-in-law are all students, and they are all excellent in learning.

Children and grandchildren have filial piety to their sisters and brothers-in-law, which is the greatest comfort and happiness in the twilight season.

However, my sister and brother-in-law have a fly in the ointment that both of them are sick.

My sister, who is ten years older than me and is seventy-five years old this year, is also an old man.

There are three kinds of sister's diseases.

My sister has high blood pressure, and she takes medicine from time to time and measures her blood pressure frequently.

My sister also has a cerebral infarction, which was in 2004, when she was at the home of her third daughter in Bingcheng, the third daughter was pregnant at an older age, a little abnormal, and her sister was in a hurry to get angry.

My sister's third disease is leg disease. The membrane between her kneecaps was worn and broken, causing pain in her legs, especially when she walked.

This leg disease is directly related to my sister's excessive walking in her early years.

My sister's three diseases have been medicated and treated.

My sister's cerebral infarction led to a earth-shaking change in her temperament.

The original sister is open-minded, no matter how big it is, she doesn't take it to heart, she can eat and sleep, especially sleeping, as soon as her head hits the pillow, she will make a slight snoring sound, and she has no mental burden, so she is refreshed and energetic, and she can solve all kinds of things, and how heavy housework is, she can be handy.

Since she had a cerebral infarction, perhaps because of the torture of two other diseases, her sister couldn't sleep, and even the night was already late, she was still tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep for a long time, often taking diazepam to fall asleep.

In my sister's heart, she can no longer put aside a little thing, and when there is a little situation, she is burdened, depressed, and unhappy.

My sister's leg disease makes it impossible for her to walk far, and when she takes a step, her leg pain will worsen.

Later, her son bought her a wheelchair and pushed her if she went to the attractions.

In short, the three diseases make my sister a little old from the spirit to the body.

As for my brother-in-law, he is eighty-two years old this year, and when he was young, his physique was weak, and he was a little sick, I don't remember.

In my impression, my brother-in-law when I was young was the image of a weak scholar.

In his old age, his brother-in-law's health was better than when he was younger, he was fatter, energetic, optimistic, and went to the kitchen.

In the last two or three years, he has had diabetes, but it doesn't make a big impression on me. Moreover, he was well treated, insisted on taking medication, went to the hospital to test his blood sugar in a few days, and his condition was well controlled.

He eats, and he pays special attention, and he does not eat any food that is not good for diabetes or eats very little.

All in all, my brother-in-law is basically in good health except for diabetes.

Basically, that's a bit of a situation.

During the years I lived in the capital, my brother-in-law's heart disease was sick, and he was hospitalized for more than ten days, and I went to the hospital to see him.

After being hospitalized for a heart attack, my brother-in-law was in good health.

On September 25, 2011, my brother-in-law's 80th birthday, and several of us went to Beijing from the northeast to celebrate his birthday.

The 80th birthday celebration of my brother-in-law was arranged by his sons and daughters: making suits, taking photos, hosting banquets in restaurants, and visiting resorts, which probably cost more than 20,000 yuan.

The brother-in-law was quite happy, and he said happily: "It seems that I have no problem living to be 100 years old." ”

However, just this year, my brother-in-law contracted an illness that no one expected.

On those days in October, my brother-in-law urinated frequently and had a hard lump in his prostate, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

After discovering this situation, my brother-in-law's son and daughter in the capital immediately drove him to the hospital for examination and consultation.

They realized that this was their brother-in-law's prostate problem, so they went to the best hospital in the capital to treat the prostate.

After more than a month of examination, examination of instruments, and puncture, I was finally diagnosed with prostate cancer.

People are still very afraid of cancer, not talking about cancer discoloration. At this stage, the medical community has not yet conquered cancer, and it is still unknown when it will be able to overcome cancer.

My brother-in-law also knew about this cancer, but he was not mentally burdened, and I talked to him about his condition on the phone, and his tone was calm.

The news that my brother-in-law has prostate cancer was told to me by my sister on the phone, and my sister also said: "Prostate cancer is not as serious as other cancers, it is not life-threatening, it can be treated, and the problem is not so serious." ”

When I heard this, I felt a lot more relieved, and the fear of cancer and the feeling of worrying about my brother-in-law almost disappeared.

Since then, I have called my sister for a few days to ask about their condition, especially my brother-in-law's.

Later, my husband said: "Prostate cancer is also cancer, cancer, is there anything that doesn't kill people?"

I listened to my husband's words, and my heart became heavy, and I also thought, what my sister said about prostate cancer, don't want to die, is it a doctor's white lie to comfort her, so that they don't worry about mental burden?

I don't understand, I thought my husband was telling the truth, and I couldn't help but worry about my brother-in-law, especially for a few days, my heart was very heavy, worried about my brother-in-law's life, he was not only my brother-in-law, he was also a very good person.

And today, when I was writing this article, I looked up information about prostate cancer on the Internet, and I accidentally found a sentence from an online doctor: "Prostate cancer doesn't kill people!"

What an unexpected surprise, I look at the following article, it is really said in such detail, I am so happy!

Prostate cancer, don't want human life, my brother-in-law's life is safe, he can live safely!

Now, the treatment of my brother-in-law's prostate cancer has entered the stage of radiotherapy, but there is no other good way.

Radiotherapy takes two months, every day, there are too many people for radiotherapy, and my brother-in-law is scheduled for radiotherapy until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it is his son and second son-in-law in Beijing who take turns driving him to the hospital for radiotherapy.

I was really glad that it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was great to have my brother-in-law's son and second son-in-law, and they both had cars, and they were both young and strong.

But my sister said: "If you want to hire a car, the children have to go to work during the day, and they can't rest well at night." ”

What my sister said is very realistic, not a few midnights, but sixty midnights, and there may be I don't know how many midnights, besides, as soon as the radiotherapy returns home, it is the second half of the night. No matter how young they are, they may not be able to support them for a long time.

My brother-in-law is very optimistic, and of course he knows that prostate cancer does not kill people.

Doctors on the Internet said: Although prostate cancer does not cost human life, it must be treated well and have a high economic foundation.

I also heard from my sister that my brother-in-law's treatment of prostate cancer a year costs more than 100,000 yuan, and I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars are needed for treatment.

One day, I called my brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll send you some money." ”

But my brother-in-law said: "No, no, I will be fully reimbursed for my treatment, I am a retired employee, and I will be 100% reimbursed." My application report has been approved. ”

Amitabha, great, very fortunate that this problem of economic foundation has been solved.

A few days ago, my sister's third daughter came to Jiacheng from Bingcheng to make a special trip to handle her father's application for the whole newspaper, and it was really successful, what a joy!

A few days ago, my sister was hospitalized twice to treat her cerebral infarction and finger disease.

My sister is hospitalized, has infusions, and has blood vessels, and needs a lot of money.

The little thumb of her left hand had a cyst that needed surgery.

Yesterday, I called my sister again and asked again about their condition and treatment.

My sister said, it's all good, don't worry about it.

During my sister's hospitalization, I called my brother-in-law alone to ask about his condition and treatment, and I was also concerned about his own eating, drinking, and living at home.

Sisters, brothers-in-law, if there were not so many diseases, how good it would be, they are happy in their old age, but their physical illness has added trouble and pain to them, and their happy old age has shortcomings.

However, there is no way to do it, we can only face the reality, and let it be safe if it comes.

I hope my sister and brother-in-law will recover and be healthy soon!
