Chapter 46: I Won the Lottery

Since Zhang Teng was forcibly sent to the VIP ward, orthopedics, neurosurgery, neurology, oncology, rheumatology and even obstetrics and gynecology have come for rounds of consultations. After all the tests arranged by the hospital, I felt like a guinea pig in bed.

Finally the orthopedic surgeon called me to the office, and the doctor looked as serious as Bao Gong's upper body, and his face was dark. After Zhang Teng helped me to finish in the chair, he sat down next to me.

The doctor cleared his throat and showed us a few films. Zhang Teng and I looked confused, neither of us studied medicine, how could we understand such a profound thing!

"You see, this is the whole spine of a person, and this part is the lumbar spine. Here is the intervertebral canal corresponding to each lumbar vertebrae, and now your problem is here," the doctor explained to us with his finger: "There is a tumor growing in the intervertebral canal of L5 Sacrium 1, and as the tumor expands, these verging nerve roots are compressed, so you now have unbearable leg pain. In addition, from the location of the tumor, it is on the left, and there is also such a small shadow on the right, we determined that this is a herniated disc after ruling out the possibility of a mother-child tumor, and the herniated nucleus pulposus also compresses the nerve root on this side, so your leg pain is similar on both sides, but the degree of relief after rest and exercise is different. As the tumor on the left side grows in size, the weight of the dural sac outside the disc may induce the herniated disc to enlarge. ”

Tumor plus lumbar disc herniation?! It's not a dream, is it? This episode has never even appeared in an ancient Korean drama like "Blue Life and Death Love"! And importantly: a herniated disc in the lumbar spine! I've only heard of this disease among the elderly!

I was instantly stunned! I won the lottery! And it's two bets! I'm going to buy a lottery ticket in a moment, maybe I'll win two and a half million!

Zhang Teng clenched his fists tightly, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"How did you get that? How to treat it? "Zhang Teng is more anxious than me.

The doctor said: "There are many reasons for the formation of tumors, the high incidence of intervertebral canal tumors is between the ages of 20 and 50, and there are many causes of lumbar disc herniation. ”

After that, the doctor faced me and asked, "Has anyone in my family had a herniated disc or a tumor?" ”

"My dad had a herniated disc a few years ago, but he only stayed in bed for about a month and then didn't do it again. Tumors have never been heard of. I replied.

The doctor nodded and said, "But you don't have to worry too much, our hospital has also received many young patients for this disease, and the youngest is a thirteen-year-old girl. ”

Zhang Teng breathed a long sigh of relief, "Doctor, what do you say we should do?" ”

The doctor said, "Surgery! The results of the puncture showed that it was a benign tumor, which was good news, but the tumor was significantly compressing the nerves. The purpose of the surgery is to open the lumbar spinal canal, remove this part of the tumor and the herniated disc to decompress the nerve root, and if necessary, we will remove the entire disc and perform fixed fusion. After the surgery, your leg should no longer hurt. To be on the safe side, we recommend a certain amount of radiotherapy after surgery to achieve the best results. ”

I listened in a cold sweat, and I couldn't believe that I had such an illness. If she told Shen Qi, she would definitely say, "Wow! You've become a double actress! ”

So I timidly asked, "Doctor, you didn't make a mistake about my film, did you?" ”

The doctor smiled and asked, "Is the pain in your lower limbs real?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Then the doctor stopped talking.

Zhang Teng said: "Then we will govern!" Isn't it better to get as soon as possible? ”

The smile on the doctor's face vanished, and his face turned black again. He pulled one out of a long pile of reports and said, "Tumors and herniated discs aren't the hardest things we have, the worst thing is that you're pregnant now." ”

I'm pregnant! This is the crystallization of my love with Shaoyang!

It was as if my brain had been hit by a thunderbolt! All the brain cells were killed by lightning, and the head was blank. The electric current from the thunder instantly spread throughout my body, and I shivered for a while.

Zhang Teng's fist that had just been released was clenched tightly again.

Seeing that we didn't speak, the doctor continued: "As the fetus in your womb grows, the force on the lumbar spine increases, which will cause the tumor and herniated disc to compress the nerve roots more heavily, and you may be incontinent at that time, and in more serious cases, you may be at risk of paralysis." Once the nerve root is damaged, it can have irreversible consequences. Therefore, our recommendation is to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for an abortion first, and it will take about two weeks after the abortion, and then do orthopedic surgery after two weeks. You are still very young, and you are in a hurry to have children in a few years. ”

The doctor must have mistaken the fetus in my womb for the child of me and Zhang Teng.

I don't know if I fully heard what the doctor said, my ears kept buzzing, and my body was cold and hot.

Zhang Teng looked at me with a sad face, and there was a prayer in his eyes that I had never seen before, as if to say: Xiao Lu, please, listen to the doctor's advice, beat the child first, and then undergo surgery.

In fact, I was already in tears at this time, and I shook my head vigorously. Suddenly I miss Shaoyang so much. I suddenly became so fragile and so weak. At this moment, I wish the person sitting next to me was Shao Yang.

The doctor handed me a tissue, and Zhang Teng gently wiped my tears for me. I couldn't control myself anymore and started crying. I just felt like I didn't have any strength in my body, and the pain in my legs and feet was unbearable. He took me in his arms, then turned to the doctor and said, "I'll convince her." Then he picked me up and walked out the door.

After taking a few steps, I suddenly turned to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, am I pregnant with twins?" ”

The doctor was stunned and said, "No." ”

I returned to the ward with Zhang Teng's support, and then picked up my mobile phone and dialed Shaoyang's phone, and the phone prompted: The user you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please dial again later.

I wiped my tears, my heart filled with infinite disappointment.

In fact, the moment I walked out of the ward, I had already decided in my heart to undergo surgery. I have to undergo surgery, do I have any other options?

Shao Yang's phone didn't connect, so it was okay that I didn't have to face him and didn't know how to face him. I lay in bed and missed everything between me and him. I always thought that in this love, we loved so equally. I always thought I had never had low self-esteem. I also always thought that I had never asked those questions in my mind about his past, and that I trusted him enough. But at this moment, I suddenly felt that it was not trust, but fear. I'm afraid that if I accidentally touch the bottom line of his heart, I am afraid that he will leave me if I am not careful.

Zhang Teng leaned against the window and looked out intently, as if there was a beautiful scenery outside the window, but in fact, there was nothing outside the window except for high-rise buildings.

"Zhang Teng." I whispered to him and tried to sit up.

He walked over quickly and grabbed me.

I sat up a little straight and saw a large patch of sadness in his eyes, "Hey! Isn't it just an operation? Can you help me ask the obstetrician and gynaecologist what preparations should be made before the operation? "Even though the pain in my lower limbs made me break out in a cold sweat even when I took a breath, I tried to squeeze a smile out of my face.

He nodded, and pretended to smile, but it was ugly.

"Don't tell anyone about my illness, including my parents, Shen Qi and Shaoyang." I said, staring at his ugly smiling face.

He held my hand and withdrew it instantly, his face full of anger replaced the smile just now, and then yelled at me: "I don't understand that you are all sick like this, why don't you let Shaoyang know?" Isn't he your boyfriend? ”

I turned my face away from his expression, "I don't know how to face him yet." ”

He seemed to be even angrier and continued to shout at me: "Lu Xiaolu! You've got a brain cramp, right? What's so good about this and don't know how to face it? Tell him now, and he'll be with you right away!" Right now! ”

"I'll tell him. Tomorrow! "I didn't argue with him, it was just extremely bland.

He looked at me with anger in his eyes.

"My parents, I don't want them to know I'm pregnant, and I'll tell them that I just have a tumor in my lumbar spinal canal, and I just need to cut it out." I continued.

Zhang Teng's facial expression slowly returned to its usual face. He sat down next to me and whispered, "Okay." When the time comes, if your uncle and aunt want to take care of you, I will go back to Tingnan and take them over. ”

I didn't want to look at his eyes anymore, the pity, the anger, the sadness, all the emotions coming together. At this time, he is no longer the domineering president I once knew. So I lay down with my back to him.

He sat on the edge of my bed for a long time, and I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. He pulled the quilt and covered it for me, then stood up and walked out of the room. The sound of his footsteps struck heavily on my heart.
