055 Optimism
My father's corridor movement has never been a phenomenon of hugging each other. I am usually with me, so I should have the clearest feeling about the changes in my father before and after. At first, I also needed to help my father with the drainage bag. Later, the drainage bag became less and less abundant, and every time my father walked around, he simply put the only remaining drainage bag in his jacket pocket. My father's pace is light and bright, and many times, it gives me the feeling that it is difficult to keep up with him. Later, my father simply told us not to follow, saying that we could do it alone.
Seeing my father's recovery getting better and better, we all felt very happy. It was precisely because of my father's relatively good walking performance that my mother and brother-in-law chose to stay in the ward to rest in my father's words. For this reason, I told them very solemnly: It is difficult to say what is going on, and in order to prevent accidents, every time my father goes for a walk in the corridor, we had better follow him, at least watch from outside the ward. Of course, my advocacy was strongly supported by my sister. Be careful, be careful, be careful! This is what I used to remind myself when my father was in the hospital. In fact, I insisted on doing the same. As long as I am on duty and my father is on infusion, I will always pay attention to my father; When my father moves in the corridor, I will follow suit, no matter what my father's state is.
In fact, it is no wonder that my mother and brother-in-law were negligent, because my father's performance during his walk was indeed too good. As long as I have seen it, I have not praised my father and said, "It doesn't look like a knife at all!" "In fact, if it weren't for the drainage bag hanging on his body, if it wasn't for the feeding tube on his nose, then I don't think anyone would think that my father was a patient. The way my father walked, I felt more imposing than the average normal young man. From this, it is not difficult for everyone to see the fortitude of his father's character.
I don't remember exactly what day it was, but I think it was five or six days after I came out of the intensive care unit. At that time, both the young man and my father had recovered a lot of strength and energy. Because they are both patients and their families, they naturally talk about their illnesses when they chat.
"Before I came to the hospital, people asked me how I went to the hospital to find out. I said, it's esophageal cancer. The young man's father shouted.
"You don't know how energetic he was when he spoke." The lad's mother added.
"What is esophageal cancer? It's not that it can't be cured, there's nothing to hide. The young man's father replied disapprovingly.
"Not bad!" In order to strengthen my father's confidence in overcoming the disease, I wasted no time in interjecting, "Now that science and technology are developed, there is not much difficulty in treating esophageal cancer?" ”
"I didn't hide it, before I came to the hospital, whenever someone in the village asked, I would answer that I had esophageal cancer." Obviously, my father completely agreed with our point of view, "At that time, I was still working in Tongxiang, and as soon as I found that I was not feeling comfortable eating, I went to the hospital for a check-up, so my condition was actually discovered relatively early. ”
Of course, I knew that the discovery of my father's illness was actually relatively late, but how could I tell the truth in front of my father? "Yes, Dad, your condition was discovered early. If it's too late, then the doctor won't do it for you. "At this moment, I can only choose to cheer up my father by deception.
Hearing this, the young man sitting on the side became interested. "My dad found it early, and when it was checked, the tumor was about two centimeters. Where's your dad? ”
This sharp question immediately caught me off guard. I wasn't shocked though. I have the advantage that no matter how panicked I am, I don't immediately react to my facial expressions. My father's tumor is more than 6.5 centimeters, but can I tell the truth? I had no choice but to follow through on my lies. Although my heart was already turbulent, my expression was still as calm as water. Because I had to. I couldn't hesitate too long, or I would have aroused my father's suspicions. "I don't really know how big it is. My dad was in Tongxiang for a check-up, but there was no way to ask the doctor there. "When I saw my father's burning eyes, I had to speak boldly.
At that time, I was worried because I was afraid that my quick words would arouse my father's suspicions. Fortunately, my father didn't look into it. I breathed a sigh of relief. It's dangerous! Of course, the facial expressions remain flat. In order not to show my feet, I had to try to keep my peace of mind.
"In fact, many people try their best to hide their illness because they are afraid." Father suddenly sighed.
"Hello, you don't look scared at all." The young man's mother exclaimed.
"What do you mean? Am I afraid? When the young man's father heard this, he stopped doing it and immediately protested.
"Why aren't you afraid?" The young man's mother glanced at her wife, "I'm afraid of the pain." Look at people, have you ever asked for painkiller injections? ”
"What we're talking about now is whether or not you're afraid of cancer. Why are you so afraid that it hurts? The young man's father protested dissatisfiedly, "I'm afraid of pain, but I'm not afraid of esophageal cancer!" ”
"Actually, it's useless to be afraid. I'm afraid that not only can't escape, but on the contrary, it will have the opposite effect! After hearing this, my father couldn't help but sigh, "There is such a teacher, who is in his thirties. During a medical check-up, a coin was placed in the pocket of his jacket. So the result of the investigation was that there was a visible shadow in the lungs. The doctor who examined him told him that it might be lung cancer, but whether it was or not was best to wait for the results of the re-examination to make an accurate judgment. This man was very suspicious and felt that this was the doctor's words of comfort to him. He was convinced that he had cancer. Later, his family took him to several hospitals for re-examination, and they all said that there was no problem with his lungs at all. However, this teacher did not believe it at all. He insisted that this was the result of his own family and doctors deceiving him for his sake. Since he had always believed that he had cancer, he barely ate much and was getting thinner and thinner day by day. In the end, the man really died. Therefore, many cancer patients are actually scared to death by themselves. ”
"Not bad!" If the young man's father had not been able to move, he would have raised his hands and feet in favor with excitement, "I declare again, I am not afraid of cancer!" That look, as if I was afraid that others would not believe it.
"It's better to be optimistic!" My father then sighed, "I think you're quite optimistic! ”
"Yes, yes! I also think I'm quite optimistic! The young man's father replied emotionally.
