Volume II, Chapter 147: Post-Injury Treatment
Hunger after an injury can change your mindset, and it may make your mind more serious than it actually is, but not when you're full, at least you will feel more solid in your heart!
And there's a tough battle ahead, and food can also bring the nutrients and energy that the body needs now!
The process of returning was as usual, relatively smooth, except that the difference in strength affected flexibility, and it took about an hour more.
Before leaving, I was even prepared to go back because of physical exhaustion, and finally starved to death or died of thirst at sea, but fortunately, the worst ending was because the protagonist's aura did not happen!
The moment I came ashore again was complicated, because I would almost never come back, and the chickens and sheep would all starve to death......
The physical manifestation is very direct, that is, weakness, not only acting like an eighty-year-old man, I feel like an eighty-year-old man.
The already weak body has become even weaker after three hours of tossing, and now it is mainly the will that is holding on!
After parking the boat and using every last of my strength to secure it, my wish to go home could not be realized, so I sat by the sea for half an hour before I regained a little strength again.
All the weapons and belongings I had brought with me before I left in the morning were all on board, and I didn't have the strength to bring them back.
Even when I walked, I found a cane to support me, and I was disgusted by the posture......
It's not that I'm in a hurry to go home, but the injury on my leg still needs to be further treated, if you only use some fluff from the white grass root to apply it on it without disinfection, there is a ninety percent chance of infection in the back, and the result can be imagined!
Although the temporary danger has passed, there is still a greater danger waiting for me in the future, and if there is inflammation and infection, it is still difficult to save my life!
Even if I am lucky enough not to get infected, these fluffs will grow into the flesh, so I am very reluctant to treat the wound twice, because it will cause me a lot of pain.
But for the sake of insurance, it must be done, as a person who has lived in modern times, I am very clear about all kinds of common sense, and the consequences are also clearer!
......
Now I really want to roar loudly, in this way to vent the frustration and anger in my chest, but I don't have any extra strength, and even the extra body movements are consciously reduced.
The heat and pain made my weak body sweat again, but luckily it was summer, and if it were in any other season, I would have been chilled from excessive blood loss.
The distance to home after docking is only more than 200 meters, and it usually takes only three minutes to exceed a quarter of an hour today, which can be regarded as breaking the slowest record......
The process of coming back is extremely difficult, but it is also worth being happy to be home again, and your own home always makes people feel warm and solid, even if it is a one's home!
If all goes well, it's noon to catch the seafood, and it's not too late to come back for lunch, but it's already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's only three or four hours before dark.
After a short rest, I want to cook some things, especially nutritious food that can replenish a lot of physical strength, at least some physical strength and a small amount of blood, how much can be replenished, and the holes are always to be replenished little by little!
While I was cooking the food, I boiled a pot of boiling water and prepared a few things that I would use to clean the wound later: some salt, a needle and a thin thread thicker than a human hair, and a small thistle that had been cut into long strips and dried under the small mosquito net.
After scooping some boiling water, I added a few andrographis trees to the remaining water, and it seems that I can only rely on it to reduce inflammation at present, and there is no other choice!
While I was afraid of the pain of dealing with the wound, I was also eating some food, and the process of treating the wound was very cruel to myself and consumed a lot of physical energy.
This also caused me to hesitate to do it, on the surface it seemed that I was resting, but in fact, I was panicked and full of fear of healing.
Of course, this is also true, and when you see the items I have prepared, you will know that the next thing to do is to operate on yourself and close the wound!
......
There are less than three hours left until dark, and I am afraid that it is probably an extravagant hope to adjust my body and mentality to a more suitable state, so I can only force myself to do it.
Boiled andrographis water replaces fresh water, and I am afraid that I will drink boiled andrographis water for some time to reduce inflammation in the future.
At the same time, I put the fine thread, mosquito net cloth and needles in boiling water and boiled them for sterilization, grinded the thistle into powder for later use, and added a small amount of salt to the warm boiled water to turn it into salt water.
What followed was a tough battle, and sweat was already oozing from the pores on the forehead before it even began!
After washing my hands, I slowly cleaned the fluff from the wound, but ......, and I could hear the cry of breaking sound at any time during the process.
I thought I was almost used to the pain by now, but even if I tied my leg again with a belt, it didn't reduce the pain from the depths of my soul, and some of the fluff had already penetrated deep into the flesh, and tearing off the fluff was like tearing a piece of my own flesh!
When I cleaned the biggest wound, I tore off a whole piece of fluff the size of half a fist, and if I could bite my teeth, I would definitely bite them into powder.
I am glad that I knew in advance that tearing the fluff would cause the wound to worsen, and the blood would definitely gush out again, so tie the thighs with a belt in advance, otherwise at least half a bowl of blood would flow out at this moment, and the situation would be even more critical at that time!
After cleaning the fluff from the wound, the whole scene looked extremely bloody, and there was a small amount of blood spilling, which should have been immediately medicated.
But I didn't, but I was gently pressing on the injured area to rule out the possibility of shark teeth inside, and I didn't want to hurt myself three times!
Luckily, no, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort to get the tooth out, and it would have hurt even more.
After making sure that there was none, I stirred the warm salt water that had been left for a while and began to rinse the wound, which was a step that caused me great harm and was also a step that I hated very much.
The effect of the dense wound touching the salt water is very terrifying, and the pain is so painful that I almost jump up from the ground, which can be described as "painful".
......
The key is not only to simply rinse, but also to rinse some wounds and check whether there are any residues and dirt left inside.
The half-minute cleaning process not only made me almost roll on the floor, but also made sweat all over my body in an instant, and my clothes were already soaked, but this step was really unavoidable!
Such a serious injury is completely different from ordinary minor injuries, which can be dealt with by the body's self-healing ability, but major injuries must be treated by relying on external objects.
Due to the limited conditions on the island, there are no medicines that can be used for disinfection, no iodine wine, no alcohol, and no iodine volt, so salt water has become the only means.
Although I know that it can't be sterilized, it can only be used for sterilization, maybe sterilization is also good, at least it can reduce the risk of infection by more than 50%!
After disinfection, it is sutured, and some small wounds can heal on their own, just simply sprinkle a layer of small thistle powder to stop bleeding, but large wounds must be sutured to get better, otherwise it will be too slow to wait for natural healing.
The largest wound is about five centimeters in diameter, and it is torn, and as long as you gently pull the flesh of the wound from both sides, you can clearly see Bai Sensen's leg bones!
This kind of pain is not something that anyone can bear, and even after a hundred battles, I had a very hard time holding it up, and I couldn't stop shivering......
In order to cut through the mess quickly, I took the sterilized needles and threads out of the pot and began to suture the wound to the maximum, and the severe pain once again made my hands tremble because I couldn't bear it.
The sweat was already soaking my whole body, and there was a tendency to get wet on the ground under me, so I had to pick up a wooden stick and bite it on my mouth to continue, and the longer I dragged it on, the more it hurt myself!
Patience for a while is the foundation for a better recovery later, as long as I get through the day and the wound does not worsen in a few days, it will not take long for me to return to normal.
Five minutes later, the largest wound was sutured, and the technique was not nice because of the shaking, but it finally connected the separated flesh together.
Of course, it would be best if I could stitch the other wounds, but I didn't dare to sew them anymore, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive it.
......
Although the stitching process was not long, the whole person was in pain again until his whole body turned white, his hair stood up, goosebumps also covered his body, and he was very prickly when he touched it.
This is the only way to do this first, apply the thistle powder to the wound, and then untie the belt tied to the thigh, and after a while, new blood enters the leg and overflows from the wound.
But the effect of the thistle began to show at this moment, and its stronger effect than the fluff stopped the blood almost instantly, so that the blood did not flow down the leg after only soaking the wound.
The apprehensive heart was calmed down, and after applying some new powder, I began to put the finishing touches on gauze made of mosquito nets.
The first hurdle is over, but it doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax, and you will have to get through the most dangerous period in at least ten days, so it's too early to rejoice!
Today's task is far from over, and if you want to lie down in bed and rest, you must at least feed the chickens and sheep.
After resting on the spot for about an hour after treating the wound, he had to drag his weak body and limp towards the vegetable field 300 meters away.
They are already so hungry that they are rolling their eyes at me, and they are expected to sing to me if they don't feed them, and the vegetables are ripe and about to wither recently, so they have been fed more sufficiently recently, and they will be hungry if they don't eat a meal!
I have to say that their luck is also good, if I can't come back, they will have to starve to death.
The chicken food is a bit easier to solve, only corn can be solved, and the road to the vegetable field is a bit long, to go to the vegetable field 300 meters away to harvest a basket of greens and then return, which is usually easy for me now becomes as difficult as climbing to the sky!
