Chapter 49 048. Paid volunteer work

In the teaching building of Metropolitan University, I saw a flyer posted on the bulletin board, recruiting paid volunteers.This is written by a nursing office for the physically disabled near Kunitachi City. The nursing hours are divided into time periods. The stages of getting up in the morning to make breakfast and taking care of bathing and sleeping at night are 1,300 yen, 900 yen during the day, and 11:00 p.m. to morning Sleeping time at 7 o'clock is 5,000 yen in total. This aroused my curiosity, will you get paid for sleeping? I called and someone from the firm notified me of the time to go to the firm.

The Metropolitan University is in Hachioji, and the Kunitachi city is also called Hachioji, but Hachioji used to be troublesome. One is the Keio Line and the other is the National Railway. I usually go to Tachikawa to change trains, go north, and then change to the National Railway at Hachioji. After exiting the station in Kunitachi City and walking along the railway, it was easy to find the office.A tall and mighty middle-aged man with big eyes and a gray beard came out from inside. He was the director of the firm.There is a high paraplegic lady in the office, sitting on an electric wheelchair with a high back, which controls the lady's body.The lady greeted me with a friendly smile, and I smiled back.There are several wheelchairs in the office, some are electric, some are ordinary, and some people are sitting in wheelchairs to make forms in front of the computer.After the director asked me about my basic situation, he immediately agreed to hire me.

It was only then that I realized that this is a private nursing office for the disabled, responsible for taking care of more than a dozen polio patients.Generally, people with polio are taken care of at home at first, but this will add a lot of burden to ordinary families, so they can be sent to national nursing institutions. The country has special nursing institutions to take care of these people's lives.But in order to be more humane, some of them are willing to leave nursing institutions and do not want to trouble their families, but choose to live independently. A polio patient wants to live independently. This is the manifestation of Japan's humanized society.

Polio patients cannot take care of themselves, so they need 24-hour care to live independently.I was sent directly by the director to the home of a 25-year-old boy named Nakata.Koichiro Nakata, his family has always taken good care of him, even when he went to an institution, but he chose to live alone.He rented a room on the ground floor of a second-floor apartment for easy access. The 24 hours are divided according to the schedule. First, there are unpaid volunteers to take care of them. Unpaid volunteers usually come for an hour or two hours to chat with Nakata. Nakata likes to be with them the most. The rest of the time needs paid volunteers To make up for it, the money was allocated by the state and various social organizations, as well as by Nakata’s family, and it was arranged by the office. Aunts from the city government would come for two hours in the morning, but they couldn’t take care of Nakata, they were in charge Come do laundry and make breakfast.The work of caring for polio patients is not tiring, but it is tiring.It was an experience for me who had never done housework in my own home before, let alone cared for others.

I still work in a French restaurant during the day, and I come to Nakata after work to help him bathe and sleep.The second time, when I arrived at night, I found him waiting for me in an electric wheelchair under a street light, because the last caregiver had left early and there was a space between him and me.I pushed Nakata into the room and found him pulling his pants down.This is the test. I put Nakata on the floor, take off his pants, rinse them in the bathroom, put them in the washing machine, and pick him up.There are skills in hugging such people. Some people are so heavy that they must be hugged from the front in order to be able to move.I let him sit in the bathroom and wash him. His hands are twisted, but he can do simple movements. After washing him, he is wrapped in a towel, put in the quilt, covered, and the work before going to bed is considered Done, the Japanese have to take a bath every day, so helping Nakata take a bath before going to bed is an important job.Nakata’s is simple, but Nakata sometimes begs me to masturbate him while taking a shower. This is a special service, so don’t get used to him!

Because I mainly take care of Nakata, who is 25 years old and has a cheerful personality. Although he sometimes plays petty temper, he is still like a child.Although he suffers from polio, he has sensation in all four limbs.Once, the director of the department called me and told me that the caregiver of an elementary school teacher in Fuzhong was temporarily busy, and there was a vacancy one night, so I was asked to rescue the scene. That day, I rushed to the mansion, and when I entered the house, I was shocked by the scene I saw.This elementary school teacher was paraplegic due to a car accident. He has no sensation from the neck down, but his brain is still clear. Bathing him is a big project.There is a bracket above his bed, which can hang him up, and then there is a large mobile bathtub, pour warm water into it, hang the elementary school teacher horizontally, and put him in the bathtub to wash.Then hang it up again, rinse it with water, put it on the bed, and wipe it off with a towel.

The elementary school teacher's urine is passed into a plastic bucket with a tube, and his stool is collected every two days by a male nurse sent by the hospital.So primary school teachers don't have much work here. When Nakata is on the tuba, he has to wipe his butt, and there is a special toilet to catch urine when he urinates.Nakata does not exercise, so he will gradually gain weight and his body will become heavier and heavier.He likes music, "Dreams Come True" and the songs of Takeshi Nagabuchi, he never tires of listening to them, sometimes he will cry.He has a Toyota, so he asked volunteers to drive him to the concert. In Japan, concerts have dedicated wheelchair lanes and wheelchair-only areas, and the location is as good as that of reporters.

Another guy with glasses that I temporarily took care of has a lot of laser videos and likes jazz. I was at his house and he taught me how to make pasta. He asked me to throw a noodle at the wall. If it gets on the wall If it doesn't fall off, it is cooked. The office also often organizes activities. Once, our team went to Disneyland together, which was really different from when I went with my Taiwanese classmates.A minibus took us to Disneyland, each polio patient was assigned a caretaker, and they had to pay for the caretaker's ticket. In Disneyland, they all sit in hand-pushed wheelchairs, which are lighter.We push a car one by one and wait in front of each project. We don't have to follow the queue of ordinary tourists, and wheelchairs can't queue up.Disneyland has a special service for the disabled. In Japan, it is not called the disabled, but the physically handicapped.Usually, after ordinary tourists go in two times, we will drive a game car for us, because we have to hold them, put them on chairs such as roller coasters, and tie them up. We have to sit next to them and hug each other. Then start the game console, the whole process is time-consuming.Although our special team will be given priority, but we can't play a few games in a day, so we still buy things to make them happy. Nakata bought some small gifts, probably for the girls who came to see him.

Nakata is a boy who has always shown his love boldly.
