15. Discharged.
I'm finally going to be discharged from the hospital and go home. Dongliang drove to pick him up, and Shanshan also rushed to the hospital to help Congcong go through the discharge procedures. Congcong rushed back to Cangzhou from Beijing last night.
The discharge procedure is complicated, and it only starts after 10:30 a.m. I thought I could go home early and have a satisfactory lunch, and I gave Bei Bei an early ** and asked her to stew the ribs, even if she could only drink some soup. It was already past 12 o'clock, and it would take a long time for the formalities to be completed. There were several certificates that needed to be delayed for a few days to be issued, so I entrusted Shanshan to handle them, and then drove home.
Bei Bei had already brought the pork rib soup home with her children, but we didn't get home until after 1 p.m.
The first thing I did when I got home was to drink two and a half bowls of pork rib soup stewed by Beibei. You can feel very happy after a few sips of pork rib soup, in fact, people's requirements for life are very simple.
The electric switch tripped, it is estimated that there is a problem with the line, it turns out that due to the rain for several days, the roof of the kitchen leaks, and the rain causes electricity leakage. Hurry up and ask someone to repair it, but when someone comes, they sit on the ground and start the price. Dongliang was anxious, drove the master away, and wanted to repair it himself, saying that he had studied it when he was in school. On a hot day, I bought my own materials and did it myself, which made me drenched in water, which made people feel distressed.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the electricity was finally repaired. As soon as the air conditioner was turned on, it seemed that I realized that life can be so cool. The next thing is very simple, that is, eat more good and make up for what hunger owes to you some time ago.
16. Start the days at home.
Start the first day after being discharged home.
According to the doctor's instructions, today should be the day to change the dressing. This dressing change procedure is complicated. Although his wife also accepted the guidance, the old man had a bad memory, and her hands were shaking badly, so she specially called her niece Bei Bei over to help. Although she has never learned to change her pouch, after all, she is a nurse, the basic knowledge is still there, and her sense of security is better.
The two of them did it together, and their daughter Congcong, who had just woken up, also came to help. was busy, Fang Zheng entered the door. He observed it and offered to change it. An entrepreneur who had nothing to do with the doctor actually started to change my pouch himself, which surprised me. A few people tinkered for two hours, and it really worked.
Fang is exactly what I called. Except for a few nephews and nieces, almost no one was notified of this illness, because there were too many people to help them, but it was easy to make the city full of storms. Friends know, who won't come and see? After coming, no one could do anything but empty words of comfort. Besides, I was very calm in my heart, but when I was persuaded, my mood was even lower. Therefore, except for Wang Zhenru's friends, he didn't know the inside story. Now that he has been discharged from the hospital, the iron buddies still have to be informed, so they called Fangzheng **. As soon as they met, he said that he had a party with Brother Zhenru and Brother Lijing last night, and the situation was already known. Sure enough, the other two arrived a little later.
I haven't seen my friends for more than half a month, but now that I do, I'm very kind. A few brothers talk about illness, and then talk about other inconsequential gossip. A few people were left for lunch, but they said they would not say anything, so they sent them away.
Immediately, Mei Qing and his wife entered the door and brought the pork rib soup that Bei Bei boiled for me, and actually drank two small bowls at once.
These days, he is in a state of severe dehydration, and he is usually only maintained by infusion. Since yesterday, I have had a feeling: thirst. I drank soup and water all day, and I urinated very little. It's about like a long drought and a rainstorm, and the water is not enough to dry up the land at all.
17. The grapes are ripe.
When I got home, I was in a good mood and everything was fine. Look at the leaves and leaves, and see the flowers.
Since yesterday, the pain of the incision has been greatly reduced, and I can turn over, get out of bed, and walk slowly. So, I woke up early in the morning and slowly paced into the yard to see the flowers and trees that I had been neglecting for a long time. Although there is a lack of management, all kinds of plants are flourishing, and the fruits of hawthorn and persimmon have grown a lot. Especially the grapes, one by one, are cute. Most are close to maturity, some are red and purple, crystal clear, and apparently fully ripe. Although I can't eat at will, I still can't help it, so I take one and put it in my mouth. The flesh is soft and sweet, and it is sweet to the heart.
The sweetness of the grapes was so thick in my mouth that I couldn't dissolve, and my mobile phone WeChat rang, and it was sent by Lao Wang, a nurse at the hospital, asking me how my physical condition was. In fact, it was only a day after leaving the hospital, and the concerned ** arrived. Only after more than ten days of getting along, you can get along like this, and your heart is sweeter than eating grapes.
There's something sweeter. Recently, it has been raining continuously, and the kitchen is leaking and leaking. In the morning, Lijing came again, brought a professional leakage ironing worker, and was busy until more than two o'clock in the afternoon. My wife is happy, and the kitchen is her territory.
It seems that no matter what happens, you should check and fill in the gaps in time, and so does the body. Because my father had bowel cancer, our children are all genetically high-risk groups, and a doctor warned me early on that I should have a check-up every year, but I never took it to heart, and it turned out to be such a big disaster. It's not too late to make amends, several sisters have had colonoscopies, only the eldest sister has not been examined. She rushed to Tianjin today to do a colonoscopy. It turned out okay, everything worked fine.
At noon, my wife specially bought a live chicken, slaughtered it on the spot, and stewed chicken soup. The doctor said that he could only drink soup and not eat meat. Drink some soup to quench your cravings, and it's already very satisfying.
2021,8,5,18,Sick is reasonable.
If there is a disease, there is a reason. Since this illness, the status of the family has risen sharply, and he has lived an emperor-like life with clothes and food. The wife and daughter are always waiting with a sincere and fearful attitude, as if they are sick because of them, and they have become guilty. The daughter said in a resentful tone, "You are the ancestor!" ”
In order for me to recuperate as soon as possible, my niece Bei Bei took on the task of boiling soup, either chicken soup or pork rib soup, which was never interrupted for a day; Even the thick and big nephew Dongliang has become delicate, and he specially bought a big bone soup and sent it over, and it tasted good.
This time, I felt that the confidentiality measures were very good, and I didn't tell anyone, including my siblings. In order to hide the truth, the blog did not stop updating on the day of the operation. On the day I found out about my illness, I wrote an article "Gnawing on Sheep Bones and Despying Life", which mentioned: "In the morning, I went to the city hospital for a colonoscopy, and the results were better than expected. The boots finally hit the ground, and the heart was steady. July 15, 2021, is a day to remember. The so-called "better than expected" actually refers to the early stage of cancer, how can people who don't know know it tell the difference? However, in the end, it was my own words that I thought were clever.
In the morning, someone knocked on the door, and it was my cousin Xi Suigong, my clan uncle Xi Fagong, and my cousin ** and Hong Yu who came from my hometown. I was stunned, how could they get the news so quickly? It turned out that in those days, Hong Yu happened to have something to find me, but **couldn't get through, and my refusal** attracted their attention, and they asked people related to me, and they all said they didn't know. They usually read my articles and find out the doubts from them. For example, the titles of the articles in the days before the operation were a little abnormal, such as "Black Tourism", "Love, a Kind of Cancer", "Minor Illness", etc., and the weirdness of the emotions told their intuition that something must be wrong. Especially in the poem "Love, It's a Kind of Cancer", I wanted to use cancer to describe love, but I didn't expect that my cleverness didn't hide from people close to me after all. The first to smell the smell was the eldest sister, because of the fourth sister's "rut in the future", the eldest sister forced her niece Jingjing: "What's wrong with your uncle." Jingjing began to deny it vigorously, but she couldn't hide it before she told the truth.
The same is true for Xifa and Hong Yu, who really regard "love" as "cancer". Several people dug their hearts out to find out the truth, and they studied my texts, including **. One of the ** I sent was a paper ring with a hospital logo on the wrist, with only *** and "Beijing Junjin" on it, and they actually followed the clues to find that "Beijing Junjin" was a pharmaceutical company, which increased their suspicions. In the past few days, Xifa has browsed "Today's Headlines" and stumbled upon "A Live Broadcast of a Cancer Patient" that I wrote, and the information was confirmed, and several people rushed over today.
Illusions can only be concealed from outsiders, but it is difficult to escape the eyes of relatives. The reason is simple, the heart is there.
19. Sisters' Gathering.
Today, the eldest sister and his wife, the second sister, and Mei Qing came to see me. Shuyun called them **. The older my sisters get, the more emotionally they become, and since my mother died, I have made a pact with my sisters to meet at my house at least once a year, and I have continued to do so for many years. But as I get older, and I have my own things, although sometimes we meet, it's not easy to get together.
There are six sisters, and two of them were diagnosed with bowel cancer at the same time, which is embarrassing, and the genetic effect is really good. At the beginning of the hospitalization, I hid it from my sisters, and what I was afraid of was that I would be sad when I met. It didn't feel good to go into the operating room, but when I saw the sisters crying, the mood would be even worse. However, after all, it was not possible to hide from the eyes of the sisters, and in the end the truth was revealed, but it was only sooner or later.
When a relative heard the news and came to visit with gifts, I was a little upset. Of course, people's kindness is the key, but after I get sick, I am most afraid of relatives, friends, and colleagues visiting me. First, it disturbed everyone, making people spend time and effort and money, and they didn't want to go; The second is that every wave of people who come, they must take the trouble to talk about the history of the disease. This narration process is actually a kind of torture; The third is that he has just been discharged from the hospital, and his body is far from recovering, and talking to others is also a burden; Fourth, the most important thing is that I am afraid that people will come, and I will inevitably comfort and persuade them in the same way, which is nothing more than "don't worry, take care of it, and it will slowly get better", or "you have to think about things when you encounter them", etc., which are nothing more than good and useless nonsense, which will not help at all. Originally, I didn't take my illness seriously, but when I was persuaded by others, my mood was worse, and it was even more unfavorable to my recovery.
If you are in a bad mood, you can't show it to your face, no matter how you are, you can't be embarrassed. I barely got up and went to the study to talk to me. The operation was painful, and although he was forced to be happy, his brows were always wrinkled. The people also saw it, sat down for a while, and then took their leave.
The rest of the relatives are different, except for the sisters, the father and son, Jingjing and Beibei's mother and daughter are also here. I don't talk much, but my heart is happy; And he also took the initiative to accompany them to eat at the same table. After all the calamities, the sisters' gathering is a kind of happiness, which somewhat makes up for the regret of the withering of life.
20, my jade white jade soup.
In the morning, Sun Hui had something to do. The family of the sworn friend can't bear to hide it from him; Besides, if there is something in the unit, I can't find it all the time, and it will delay the matter. So, I asked him to come and he arrived immediately. I told the truth of the matter, and I hope he will not say anything about anyone except Chang Peiting. He promised and left. After a while, he came with Pei Ting. Old friends are embarrassed to see me like this today. Fortunately, I was in a good state of mind, so I didn't need to be comforted, and I took my leave after a few small talks.
Since yesterday, it has been on fire, causing pharyngitis**, cough, phlegm, it is estimated that it has not fully recovered from eating, and it is necessary to regulate the body as soon as possible. The worst thing is the cough. The cough is small, and the phlegm can't come up; The cough was so strong that the intestines hurt and the knife wound was severe. My wife bought some western medicine to dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, and after eating it, it didn't seem to have much effect. I just thought, I still need to eat and drink.
The meat soup can no longer be drunk, and it should be changed to light. However, I am also a glutton, and the taste is too bland, and I feel that it is not pleasant, so I have to work the ingredients. I vaguely remember that Wang Xiaoya, the host of CCTV, said that inside CCTV, whoever drank the cabbage soup she boiled was full of praise. Someone asked her the secret, she said that she didn't put any condiments, and boiled cabbage with white water, the key was a matter of heat. Cabbage is rich in vitamin C, chlorophyll, carotene, mineral salts, etc., and also contains a small amount of carbohydrates, protein and dietary fiber. I decided to give it a try.
Take the tender cabbage heart of the Chinese cabbage and cut it into sections for later use; In order to increase the richness of the taste, my wife specially bought fresh shrimp from the supermarket. At first, she didn't agree, there is a folk saying that seafood is hairy, and the wound is not easy to heal after eating. I checked the information and found that on the contrary, eating more shrimp is good for wound healing. In addition, shrimp is very rich in nutrients, shrimp is rich in protein, fish substances, potassium and other minerals, can regulate the weakness of the spleen and stomach, and also has a good effect on the regulation of the heart; It also reduces the amount of cholesterol in the blood vessels.
Turn on the stove, pour oil into the pot and heat it, add green onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns to boil, add water to boil after stir-frying, and pour cabbage and shrimp into the pot respectively. The fire burned hard for three minutes, and then changed to a simmer. The cabbage should not be cooked too badly, and the fire can be stopped in about five minutes. Add a few drops of sesame oil and serve in a bowl. Bright, fragrant, taste and taste better than expected. Of course, due to the disease, cabbage and shrimp cannot enter the stomach, so they can only be thrown away in pain; But the soup has both the slightly sweet fragrance of cabbage and the slightly salty aroma of shrimp. If you want to express my feeling at the moment, one word: fresh! Two words: very fresh! Three words: fresh! Back then, Qianlong Ye drank "pearl jade and white jade soup", and it is estimated that this is how he felt. The key is not only to drink, but also to heal: clear the fire!
With a serious illness, he became not only half a doctor, but also half a gourmand and nutritionist.
21. Do it yourself.
Because at this stage, I can only eat some liquid food, so I mainly eat soup. Cong Cong specially ordered a wall breaker from the Internet, and it arrived today. Cong Cong has returned to Beijing, fortunately, it is not complicated to assemble and use, and after installation, my wife will use it immediately. It seems that it will be more convenient to drink soup in the future.
If there is in, there must be out. Because of the operation, the excretion was diverted, and a stoma bag commonly known as a "fecal pocket" was hung around his waist, and from the first day, the task of cleaning the stoma bag fell on his wife. This is definitely not a beauty difference, the sense of smell and perception is not good, it is similar to the end of the feces and urine. Because there is no time, it is possible to excrete at any time, and only her wife is by her side 24 hours a day, so this "evil errand" belongs to her.
As the amount of water and food consumed increases, the frequency of excretion gradually increases, at least five or six times a day, or even more. To be honest, seeing that she can't even sleep well every day for this, one is distressed, the other is guilty, the key is that if my wife goes out in a hurry temporarily, I want to excrete here, what should I do? Asking others to help temporarily, isn't it filthy for people? Even if people don't like it, if the other party is a woman, it's not convenient. So, I always want to try it myself.
I ate a lot at noon today, and naturally I excreted a lot. After lunch, I always slept for a while, and my wife fell asleep soon after due to excessive fatigue. Suddenly found that the ostomy bag was about to be full again, and I wanted to wake her up and see her sleeping sweetly, but I couldn't bear it. Just take this opportunity and try it yourself. When I arrived at the bathroom, I learned her usual cleaning steps, opened the bag, and discharged the excrement; Pour it in with warm water and wash it several times, and the bag is very clean; Try to tie the mouth of the bag again: it worked!
Sure enough, it is easier to do things than to see things, and it is not as complicated as expected to really get started. I'm glad that I can clean my own stoma bag from now on, and I can finally free my wife from the filth and fatigue, and I can also free myself from the guilt.
My wife woke up, and I showed her off to show her the ostomy bag I had changed with my own hands, and she was also very happy. It is convenient for you to be with others, and the ancient teachings of the ancients are really not bad.
