Chatting and chatting, my mother became familiar with the old lady and middle-aged man on the bed in the north. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, there were hospital logistics staff shouting for an extra bed. The mother was supposed to go, but was dissuaded by the old lady and the middle-aged man.

"Don't go, just sleep in our extra bed at night." The old lady said enthusiastically.

"We appreciate your kindness. But if you sleep for us, where will your son sleep at night? Mother was by no means a selfish person, so as she spoke, she walked out the door.

"It's fine. At night, I slept outside in an extra bed. Instead, it was comfortable to sleep there. The middle-aged man saw that his mother was unmoved, so he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

When my mother heard this, she was already a little moved, and although she stopped, she still asked with some hesitation: "You paid for the extra bed, but let us sleep." How embarrassing is this? ”

"What's so embarrassing about this, even if you don't sleep, I'll go to the corridor to sleep in an extra bed. When the time comes, my extra bed will be empty and wasted. The middle-aged man further persuaded.

"But, in case you don't occupy an extra bed outside...... When the time comes......"

Although the mother's words were unknown, the middle-aged man still understood the meaning of her words. "Don't worry, I came before you and know this place well. I had already occupied an empty bed outside with a quilt. ”

The mother also understood, and knew that the middle-aged man would definitely sleep outside at night. "It's just that you use money to ......" Even when it came to such a field, my mother still didn't seem to be very embarrassed.

"Don't worry, we won't pay for it." When the old lady heard this, she immediately replied.

"Didn't you pay for it?" Mother asked, puzzled.

"We were in a car accident, hit by a taxi. People have insurance, so all the expenses are paid by the car owner, and we don't need to pay even a penny. The middle-aged man explained.

"It's just, what to hesitate about. We haven't returned this extra bed since we got it, and if you don't sleep, then we'll keep it here anyway. Rather than let it go to waste, let you sleep at night. Listen to me, don't take it. If there's an extra bed that no one sleeps in, why bother getting another one? Got it, and it still occupies an area! The old lady reassured again with great enthusiasm.

Hearing this, the mother didn't say anything more, retracted her steps, and sat down on the side of her father's bed again. I knew that if I hadn't heard that the old lady in the north didn't have to pay for the extra bed, my mother would never have accepted their kindness anyway.

When it was time for dinner, my brother-in-law came over to replace my mother and me. At my sister's house, after eating and washing, my mother and I rushed back to the hospital. Of course, I also brought a quilt because I need to use it at night.

Probably because of the pain all over his body, my father didn't sleep much in the afternoon. After we arrived at the hospital after dinner, my father remained conscious for a long time. In fact, sometimes, being awake is not necessarily a good thing, because when you are awake, the slightest pain will mercilessly hit every nerve of your father. Sometimes, I can almost clearly see beads of sweat on my father's head. In order to distract my father, I specifically asked my mother, who was sitting at the head of the bed, to have a proper chat with my father.

Just after eight o'clock in the evening, the father of the young man on the south bed coughed more and more intensely. I remember half-jokingly asking them why atomization didn't work much. They replied that if it weren't for the fogging, they would have coughed even more.

Perhaps it was the violent coughing that touched the scar, and the young man's father snorted louder and louder, giving the impression that he was in too much pain to bear.

"Dad, if you keep persisting, until nine o'clock, I will ask the nurse to help you get painkiller injections." The young man said to his father with some distress.

"Alas, the pain is a little unbearable, you go and ask, can you fight now?"

Seeing his father's extremely pleading eyes, the young man hesitated a little, but finally gritted his teeth and replied: "Dad, let's wait, get an injection after nine o'clock, so that you can have a better rest at night." Wasn't that the same yesterday! ”

"No, it seems to hurt more today than yesterday. Well, then wait a little longer. ”

……

Hearing the conversation between the young man's father and son, I immediately thought of my own father.

"Dad, does it hurt? Why don't you get an injection tonight? I asked tentatively in a solicitative tone.

"It hurts, of course it hurts!" The father said in a very positive tone, "However, the doctor said that it is better not to take painkiller injections, which will not be good for the recovery of the wound." ”

"Oh, that's right." I still have basic common sense, "Otherwise, when a pregnant woman gives birth, how can she try not to use anesthetics?" Because, anesthetic is not good for pregnant women and children. "I support my father's words 100 percent.

"However, the doctor also said that if you really can't bear it, then you can call the nurse for an injection." Unexpectedly, I had just expressed my support when my father's words suddenly changed.

I was stunned for a moment. However, on second thought, although anesthetics are not good, they can reduce pain after all. If anesthesia is not used during surgery, it is estimated that many people will die of pain. "That's right. So, why don't you wait a while, and I'll call the nurse to come and give you an injection? ”

"What's the fight?" When my father heard this, he seemed to be a little excited and a little proud and said, "When I was in the intensive care unit, I didn't even ask for a call!" Could it be that you have to go out of the intensive care unit and ask for a call? ”

"It has nothing to do with not being able to get out of the intensive care unit. Dad, as long as you feel that the pain is unbearable, you can ask for an injection. "I was a little afraid that my father would grit his teeth and stiffen up, so I spoke up.

"You know what?" The pride on my father's face became even stronger, "I just came out of the operating room, and the moment when the anesthetic just passed was the most painful time. You don't know the spectacle of everyone humming in unison in the intensive care unit......" My father seemed to recall, and after a pause, he continued, "At that time, almost everyone was clamoring for anesthesia, and I didn't ask for that. You say, I've already gotten through the worst of the worst times, is it possible that now it doesn't hurt so much, but I asked for painkiller injections instead? ”

I wanted to persuade my father, but when I thought of my father's stubborn temper, I swallowed the words that came to my mouth. Because, I know, my father will never change his mind if he says anything now.

Just after nine o'clock, at the urging of his father, the young man had to go and ask for painkillers. It didn't take long for the young man to come back in a low mood. Because the nurse's answer is: each patient can get a maximum of three injections.
