Chapter XIII

Dad's bloated stomach continued.

I can't find out what the cause is, all I have to do now is to find a way.

After ten days of treatment, the doctor recommended moving to the rehabilitation department on the 16th floor.

On the 16th floor, most of the patients are seriously ill and have no effect after treatment, except for 1-2 elderly people with mild symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

The doctor used the usual medicine, nutrient solution, nasogastric feeding... Most of the expressions on the faces of the family members were bitter and hateful, and they hesitated whether to hope that these days would pass faster or slower.

Although no one can call the shots, including experts and doctors with experience in treating diseases.

Most of the family members are in the following forms:

crying and talking on the phone in the hallway;

At the end of the corridor, silently wiping away tears, looking into the distance;

Talking to each other with red and swollen eyes between boiling water and hot meals;

In the doctor's office, plead with the doctor if there is anything you can do...

A female doctor with glasses in the office suggested that Ms. Xiao could try to reduce her stomach bloating with Mang Xiao.

Mang Xiao is shaped like coarse-grained salt.

When the doctor brought the mangxiao over, it was equipped with two thin cotton bags the size of cuffs.

Put the mangxiao into a cotton bag, tie the mouth of the bag, spread it flat, and put it on the patient's stomach.

Some of the coarse grains of mangxiao are as big as a ping-pong ball, and some are as fine as fine salt.

Every time I use it, I will carefully break the large pieces into small particles, and if I can't break them, I will knock them with my fist with the plastic bag, "Wow, it hurts", and then knock it with a steel basin.

The thickness is about the same, put it into a bag with a big sleeve, tie it tightly, spread it flat, and then put it on Mr. Xiao's stomach.

"Well, I don't feel anything"

In five to ten minutes, Mr. Xiao let out a laugh, his stomach loosened, and he heard the "singing"~~

Every night before "getting off work", pour out the used mangxiao, wash the used "sleeve" bag until it is soft, and dry it for later use.

Install two "sleeves" mangxiao, so that it is convenient for Mr. Xiao to get up and use it when he is swollen at night.

Tomorrow morning, I will take Mr. Xiao to do a CT.

Tomorrow you will stop eating solid foods.

I called my aunt's son Cheng Nian and thanked him for coming to see my dad every day, but the doctor told my dad not to eat meat and solid food in the future, and gently explained his father's condition to him. "Oh, oh," the phone mile reads agreed.

———— the next day, my aunt's son Cheng Nian no longer came to visit. I don't have the time to ask or explain further.

Every day, I use my energy to the limit.

Refresh at night.

Restarted the next day.

After eating the porridge, the doctor instructed us to go to the most CT, there may be a queue, but my father is an inpatient and can do it in advance.

It's windy and cold outside.

Helping my dad into a wheelchair, I thought about it and went back to get a padded jacket for him to drape outside.

"I'll be there in a while, don't take the clothes, it's annoying", Mr. Xiao scolded me for being annoying, and I was not allowed to go back to get the padded jacket.

I ignored it, it was only a few steps from the staircase to the ward, so what was there to annoy. Stomach is swollen, if you have another cold and fever, get it?

Sure enough, as soon as I got outside, the wind was strong and cold, and Mr. Xiao was silent in a padded jacket.

Rounding a corner, you will find the CT room in another building. There are roughly 3-40 people queuing at the entrance.

Asked my dad to wait in a wheelchair for a while, and I squeezed in with the CT list.

Consult with the doctor registered at the door

: Can you let the frail dad do it first, we have an appointment in advance when we come out of the ward, and the bed doctor also told us that we can do it in advance.

The registered doctor replied: "No, it's all like you, don't you squeeze your head?" ”

Dad happened to come over, and when he heard this, his face became flat: "I said I don't need to be so early, it's difficult, I can't wait."

Teacher Xiao sat in the crowd, looking tired.

But I can't help it, seeing that the name is almost there, and I am squeezed into it by other wards, and they are accompanied by special nurses in the wards to do it in advance.

Looking at such a bunch of people, my dad still has to wait until 11 o'clock? How to eat?

I went to the director of the CT room, "Wait a minute. ”

"Unless the ward director says hello"

Following her prompts, I called the director of the inpatient department, but no one answered the phone and no one was there.

I asked the bed doctor and said he couldn't help it.

Turn around and look at it in pain

Dad, tired and haggard face.

Thinking of Dr. Yan, who was the first time I was treated, let's give it a try.

Dr. Yan directly greeted the CT director: "Xiao Huiqing is from the inpatient department, but they thought it was okay, so they let the special nurse leave early, and the patient couldn't eat food, very weak, let them do it first."

Thank you, Dr. Yan, I see

The director of the CT department turned to the CT registry next door.

"Next, Xiao Huiqing of the inpatient department," the registration office staff poked his head out and shouted.

Teacher Xiao changed from a resentful face to a calm state, and a few protruding long eyebrows above his eyes that were not very docile also returned to their original positions.

I came from the CT room with a satisfied face.

"Old woman, fortunately, the boss went to say hello to Dr. Yan, otherwise it would have been 11 o'clock." As soon as I arrived at the ward, my father was exhausted and collapsed on the bed, and told my mother about the crowded, embarrassing, undignified, and tired of the CT room just now.

In the past few days, my father has been calling relatives and friends everywhere.

I don't know if he was relieved during the hospitalization, or if he was pressed.

I didn't have the guts to ask my dad in person, and I didn't have the guts to talk to him about it.

—————I used to have a colleague whose mother was in her 40s and diagnosed with advanced lymphoma.

When she learned of her illness, her colleague went to the bookstore to buy a book about the meaning of life, and read the chapters of the book with her mother every day to discuss the meaning of life and help her mother get rid of the fear of death.

This process tests the IQ, EQ and courage quotient of both parties.

I admit that Mr. Xiao and I are not "brave businessmen" enough.

There is a possibility that my father thinks that our mother and daughter are cowardly and not brave enough, and he is worried about hurting us.

My parents once told me:

They met a girl in her 20s in the square, who used to be in good health but is now in poor health.

The reason is that the girl's mother suddenly fell ill and left, and the girl was in a hurry, and she couldn't bear the urgency of getting sick.

My dad also told me that I had a colleague (Mr. Wang).

One day, Mr. Wang's husband went to a bathroom with his son to take a bath, and because of the high temperature in the bathroom, her husband suddenly fell ill and left on the spot.

Dad met Mr. Wang on the bus, and Mr. Wang cried while talking.

Extremely pitiful. The son and daughter-in-law have a small family and have no time to take care of him, and the daughter has to work and has no time to accompany her...

When my father got home, he asked my mother to call Mr. Wang and invite me to my house for dinner and chatting to relieve my emotions.

My dad was worried about me, worried that I would "not know anything", worried that I wouldn't be able to bear it.

My father is worried about my mother who has been diabetic for ten years, she needs to measure her blood sugar, take insulin, and prevent her mother's hypoglycemic fainting day and night...

Afflicted by illness, stomach distended, unable to eat, weak.

But the mind is clear.

Dad deliberately reminded me in an inadvertent way:

Tell me, I have to be generous, and the family will be harmonious for a long time;

Exaggeration told me that my mother had bad eyes and did not pay attention to hygiene. Teacher Xiao deliberately exaggerated the various sloppiness of the blind mother.

Teacher Xiao clearly knows that his daughter is a cleanliness addict. Only now has I learned that while taking care of my mother, there is no way to pay attention to hygiene, only sloppy waiting for me.

After understanding the exaggerated sloppiness, it is possible to feel a little easier in the process of taking care of it in the future.

I understand Mr. Xiao's good intentions in his hardships, and guide me "cunningly".

Perhaps it should be said that it is the wisdom of Mr. Xiao.
