Text VIII

But the computer will only freeze, and it won't poop and pee. Alzheimer's disease is also good at slipping numbers. I saw two nurses rubbing their hands together with an old man with dementia by the elevator. The female nurse rolled up her sleeves and gritted her teeth:

"I don't believe I can't kill you! See if you're still on the run! ”

It turned out that the old man was a habitual offender, and he fled without paying attention repeatedly, and it took a lot of effort to arrest him. He doesn't understand how to scold him, it's impossible to beat him, in case it breaks it, you can't afford to pay for it, after all, he is running out of oil. He is not necessarily worth much to live, and it must cost a lot of money to kill him and pay for his old life.

At the same time, under the sun, in addition to a group of old fools, there is also a group of small fools. They are all children of nearby residents, mostly three or four years old, who are brought to play by their grandparents. There was an unreasonable little boy, crying and grabbing the ground, and strongly demanded that the girl riding in the swivel chair give way. The girl is not an ordinary horn, her left hand grasps the armrest of the swivel chair, frees her right hand, and pats the little boy's shaved gourd head, the sound is very crisp. The little boy cried and jumped to his feet. Crying bitterly, he suffered a double loss, he didn't grab the swivel chair, and he was beaten in vain. The parents of both sides laughed and swayed, neither interfering nor persuading, just watching the excitement.

I soaked up the sun with my teacher for an hour and went back upstairs. Li Xianglan has been waiting for a long time. She heard me arguing with the nurse over her and was worried. I said, don't be afraid, she dares to retaliate against you, and I will support you.

As he spoke, the head nurse came. Explain to me why you can't let Li Xianglan order her own food. The head nurse speaks gently, has a kind attitude, and the words she says are ear-friendly.

The head nurse said that it's not that you don't have the right to order food for her, it's that you don't know how to order for her. We helped her order food because of her daughter's will. The old lady has a lot of chronic diseases. She has a bad kidney, can't eat tofu, has high blood sugar, and can't eat many dishes. She herself doesn't know about these, and if she messes around, she has to eat bad, and some foods can't be eaten together, such as cephalosporin and wine together, which will produce a disulfiram reaction, which will cause sudden death. Her daughter even asked us to lock her in her room after she had finished eating, so that she would not have to run around. She has a habit of petty theft, and when she goes to other people's houses, she will come back with a bag of tissues.

I said, "You don't have that right, including her daughter." Want to be unlawfully detained? ”

After the head nurse left, I concluded that the decision of a person's success or failure is up to me. The head nurse and the black-faced nurse were about the same age, and they must have been in for about the same time. One is still an ordinary nurse, and the other has become the head nurse, which is determined by their ability to work. One sentence makes people jump, one sentence makes people laugh, the same thing, from the mouth of the head nurse, it is acceptable, and from the black-faced nurse, it makes people angry. Being able to speak can even save lives. Legend has it that there was a clown who accidentally entered the forbidden area, was caught by a eunuch, and was to be sent to the criminal department to be beheaded. The eunuch gave the burlesque a chance to tell a joke with only one word, and if it made people laugh, he let him go. The clown said, "Fart," and the eunuch said, "What do you mean?" The clown said, "It's up to you to let it go, and it's up to you if you don't let it go." The eunuch laughed and let him go, and the clown could talk and picked up a life. I heard from the teacher that the head nurse is paid a lot more than the nurse, which is what she deserves. Hearing the head nurse say that Li Xianglan's daughter asked them to lock their mother in the house, I was terrified. Boy! , has already sent the angry mother into the coffin, and don't forget to let people nail it! Say Li Xianglan is a thief? Joke! She has a pension of several thousand, and living in a nursing home actually costs her own money, not her children's money. Children are all big money, will steal tissues? She has come to the teacher's room countless times - she only dares to come to the teacher's room, and there is not a single needle! Li Xianglan's situation reminds me of "The Gulag Archipelago", and I feel that there is a shady scene here! Like a concentration camp, horror! As for the head nurse saying that Li Xianglan had kidney disease and diabetes, I asked Li Xianglan for verification, and the answer I got was no. I felt like a police officer and met two suspects who confessed to the opposite. Of course, it can be understood that Li Xianglan is delirious and should believe in the head nurse. But I choose to believe Li Xianglan, I think that a little scurry like the head nurse is the best at talking, telling the truth tactfully, and telling lies well, because I see Li Xianglan's lunch every day, tofu is eaten almost every day, and braised pork ribs are often there, according to the head nurse, these are not dishes she should eat. Besides, how can you explain that you can help her order so much, always let her eat leftovers, and order what she can't bite? However, the culprit of all this should be Li Xianglan's children, or the sentence, "leather pants and underwear, there must be a reason". Your family is abusing you, why should outsiders treat you well? It is also human nature to be unkind and unjust. If Li Xianglan's children are filial and come often, the nurses and head nurses will not dare to dare to do so! It can even be said that a truly filial son and daughter would never send an old man here.

After this incident, Li Xianglan's lunch dishes did not become less, nor did they become softer. I played a prank and helped Li Xianglan with advice:

"If you can't eat it, pour it! If you can't bite it, shake it! Don't spend your money anyway! ”

I said this in a comforting way, to make her think that she was spending her children's money.

But Li Xianglan was reluctant to waste. After most of my life's hard life, the last few decades have been blessed, and I have enjoyed this kind of happiness! I often empathize, standing in Li Xianglan's position, instead of living in a coffin, it is better to simply die! The children all live in luxury houses and drive luxury cars, why don't you let your mother live at home, and ask a nanny to solve everything! Even if she doesn't let her mother live in her own house, Li Xianglan has a house and is empty. Turn it on, sweep it away, scrub it clean, and hire an aunt to serve her, a hundred times better than living like this. Li Xianglan is a person who has been deprived of the freedom to choose her lifestyle. "Kissing and raising relatives" is called kissing, and there are three parent-word words in a row, which is not at all intimate for her.

I never dared to express these thoughts to Li Xianglan, but kept apologizing to her. It's short-lived, and a little favor can't help. If she is forced to call the mayor's hotline and offends her daughter and the hospital, especially the head nurse who is very good at talking and the black-faced nurse who can't speak, she will be worse than dead.

Li Xianglan listened to my apology, her eyes were full of tears, and she called me vigorously:

"Oh! Hey! You're my child! You're my child! I don't want you to do things for me, I just want to do things with you. There's no one here to say a word to me, I'm suffocating. ”

It makes me sad to say.

The old man who lived with Teacher Xu was named Zhang Juhua. Chinese women's names are mostly flowers and plants. I don't like to call Zhang Juhua an old man, Zhang Juhua is the same age as me, only a few years older than me, and he actually lived in a nursing home. Therefore, when the nurse calls Grandma Zhang Juhua, I will protest on her behalf:

"You should call her aunt, call me teacher before you call grandma, they are not of the same generation."

The nurse still didn't change her words, her brain was like a computer infected with a virus, and antivirus software couldn't kill it.

Zhang Juhua's cerebellum is atrophied and she can't walk anymore, but she is as fat as a behemoth, and she usually pushes a wheelchair to walk. The wheelchair sometimes ran so fast that she couldn't keep up, so she fell to the ground like a big winter melon with a "plop". Nurse Du Yushu is in the wind, with a slender waist and thin legs, her hands are not clasped, she can't do anything against the behemoth on the ground, and she has no ability to drag her up alone. I often went to help, and the two of us were able to hold her.

Although Mr. Xu teaches mathematics, he is unfamiliar with medicine and feels strange:

"Didn't you say she had a brain atrophy? She's not confused, she's smart. She can memorize the phone numbers of her son, daughter, and son-in-law, but she never calls her daughter-in-law's phone, and she insists that her illness is angered by her daughter-in-law. Can anger cause the cerebellum to shrink? Incredible! What's more, she is still illiterate. ”

I say:

"It's not surprising at all. She atrophied the cerebellum, and the brain did not shrink. The cerebellum directs action, and the brain directs thinking. Although she didn't know Chinese, she could still read Arabic numerals. ”

Zhang Juhua likes Sunday the most. Early in the morning, after eating, she was eager to eat. Because the eldest son will come to see her and bring her something to eat. Let her sit in the wheelchair she usually pushes, and take her to the supermarket and the restaurant.

I joked about chrysanthemums: "Your son is like your mother, you are like his son." ”

When Zhang Juhua heard this, her expression was both sad and happy. How she wished she could still be her son's mother! It's a pity that I don't have this ability. Cerebellar atrophy cannot be cured, and can only be controlled with medication to slow down the progression of the disease, which is what the doctor said. My wife died early, liver cancer, and it was only 50 days from diagnosis to death. I saw Zhang Juhua coming back from the supermarket and looking proud, her face shining and her feet cocked, so that I could see the new shoes that my son bought for her. I boasted:

"Your son is so filial and a good son."

One day, when I arrived, I saw Zhang Juhua crying bitterly, saying that she couldn't move and was going to be paralyzed. I was just trying to comfort her when her second son arrived and was going to take her to the hospital.

After Zhang Juhua left, the teacher reported to me Zhang Juhua's movements at night, saying that she didn't sleep at night and had to ring the electric bell more than a dozen times to call the nurse. The diapers were thrown on the ground, and I had to pee more than a dozen times a night. Sometimes I heard her crying and talking in the middle of the night, thinking that she had a nervous disorder, but only when I listened carefully did I know that she was talking on the phone. complained to her son, saying that she could not move her legs and was going to be paralyzed.

I think Zhang Juhua is not old and sick like this, so pitiful. As long as I saw Zhang Juhua pushing a wheelchair into the bathroom, I was busy helping her. Who knew that it took skill to do this job, and she couldn't help her fall and roll on the ground. I did everything I could to carry her to the toilet. She had to turn on the faucet when she peed, and the sound of the water was like a lullaby - no, it was a luralyo, and the urine of the bladder could only flow straight down after listening to the urina curvature. People are sick like this, they have no shame, and they never close the door when they go to the toilet. Seeing this, I quickly helped her lift her pants, and then she moved to the bathroom door with the washstand, pushing the wheelchair away. She has been sprinkling the dung pits in the countryside all her life, as if the birth, breeding, and apparatus are masculine, crackling, and spraying everywhere on the toilet lid. Every time the teacher goes to pee and gets a butt of pee, she complains:

"Alas! In her previous life, she probably owed her toilet paper, and if she didn't wipe two pieces of toilet paper, she couldn't sit on the toilet seat. ”

For this. The first thing I do when I arrive every day is to flush the toilet seat with the faucet.
