Chapter 31 2005/02/24

So let's start from January 14, 2005, when my mother was admitted to the hospital for the second chemotherapy treatment. The second actual chemotherapy was only done for five days, that is, five packs of AraC. Since no one in the hospital was willing to perform port-A (a kind of artificial blood vessel located between the shoulders, which can be used for more than half a year) surgery, the attending doctor simply did it. There is no need to make a simpler artificial catheter buried in the bottom of the arm. Mom had to take turns injecting the drip with both hands, and had to get a new injection every three days. If there was a situation where blood transfusion was being injected at the same time, both hands had to be injected at the same time.Mom was relieved, after all, the word "surgery" sounded scary, but my brother and I were very troubled, because we changed hands continuously and received injections, which could easily lead to venous sclerosis or other problems caused by fragile blood vessels. .

And because my mother has tuberculosis, we are afraid of infecting other patients, so we can only choose an expensive single room, deducting the part of the health insurance subsidy, and the asking price is 2,500 yuan a day.Tut tut. Of course, the single room is more comfortable and comfortable. I put the laptop on the small coffee table and started to frantically rush to draft in the ward. In such an atmosphere, fight with me one by one. Netizen Munai said it well, the quality of a single room is not twice that of a double room.There is no need to speak in a breathy voice, things can be placed anywhere, each brother can have his own seat, and most importantly, the TV can be switched freely.

So Mom regularly watched "Lovers in Paris" on the eight major drama stations, and continued to watch "Stairway to Heaven" and "Warm and Cold".And I love Animal Planet. The Animal Planet channel once had a special on Indian tigers, which impressed me deeply. The video recorder focused on a female tiger who had just given birth to two cubs (the male tiger has gone away, it is unknown); this female tiger is brave and good at fighting, and is a rare expert. teach them how to hunt, how to approach the prey step by step with breath-holding attention, how to adjust the rhythm of waiting and rushing, how to compete with huge crocodiles for antelope or zebra by the river, and so on.I watched the two young tigers crawling towards a group of antelopes grazing in exactly the same way, but they repeatedly showed their secrets and caused the antelopes to leave in advance. It was very funny.

But good times don't last forever.When the cub was two years old, an unexpected visitor appeared in the territory of the three dependent tigers...a very strong male tiger. Originally, I thought that a tiger would be very mature when it was two years old, but watching the TV screen, the male tiger that broke in was twice as big and burly than the female tiger.The recorder explained that tigers will not be able to be independent until they are four years old, and then they will leave their mothers and start their own kingdoms in another place (the territory of male tigers is usually three to four times larger than that of female tigers!).Before that, it was no match for an adult tiger at all.

In the worried statement of the recorder, I also began to feel uneasy. The intruding male tiger posed a great threat to the three tigers. The recorder recalled the cruel scene he had seen many years ago... The male tiger ruthlessly killed a bunch of cubs that were not born to him. In the old photos, the corpses of seven or eight cubs are piled up in a row, which makes one's nose sour. At this time, the female tiger, who is obliged to protect the two cubs, also faces such pressure to kill her offspring, because the male tiger comes to harass her every now and then, with a look of wanting to mate; the male tiger knows very well that he must kill the cubs. It takes two cubs to relieve the tigress of her "responsibility as a mother." He is observing such a gap.

The female tiger was unequivocal, fought back the male tiger once, and even injured the male tiger's paw, but the male tiger still hovered nearby, really looking at it. The tigress knows very well that she cannot continue to protect the cubs when they grow up, but the tigress has not taught all the hunting skills to the two cubs. In addition to anti-hunting animals, they are more likely to starve to death.The female tiger fell into a long test for several days amidst the low roar of the male tiger that could not go away. Finally, the recorder captured his unimaginable picture. On a mountain path, a female tiger was lying on the ground and beckoning to her two cubs, so the two cubs cuddled up to them, coquettishly sucking the breasts of the female tiger who had long been unable to produce milk. Nostalgia seems to be squeezed into a ball.The three tigers dawdled for a while, and finally, the two cubs stood up and walked away amidst the low roar of the female tiger.In this way, they left their mother who protected them at all costs.

"...does this mean goodbye?" the recorder murmured. I stared at this unbelievable scene in a daze, this is simply a part of the Disney cartoon. The recorder persevered in tracking the follow-up.Five months later, the tigress on the original territory became pregnant again, and the male tiger who threatened her at the beginning has now become the protector of her and the new cub.But the two cubs who left haven't been found for a long time. It is very likely that they died of starvation under the ruthless elimination of nature. Until one day, the recorder who was patrolling in a jeep saw one of the original tiger cubs in a large forest.Although the two-and-a-half-year-old tiger cub was thin, he still inherited his mother's confidence. He yelled at a ferocious sloth bear, declaring his territory, and finally scared the sloth bear away after a stalemate.

"We can confirm that the female tiger managed to keep at least one cub alive," the recorder said. This is not a small story, and I don’t know what inspiration I got from this animal documentary, but I was so moved in front of the TV screen in the middle of the night. ※※※ In the process of taking care of my mother, there are many situations where "trying my best is not necessarily the best". We are afraid that mother will easily "think too much" in excessive silence, so we often tell mother some funny things in life, but it will also have the opposite effect.

Mom began to get impatient with our "performance", and felt that we were always busy making her laugh, but ignored her discomfort and didn't have the mood to respond; so she solemnly warned us not to be funny all the time, and called me Don't compare some strange and funny poses, she will feel very sad when she sees them.I'm a little frustrated, but it's quite logical that being funny can have such a side effect. ※※※ The second chemotherapy was surprisingly smooth. Mom's mouth is very effective, and the justice she asked for from God has really come to fruition.After only three days of fever, my mother's condition stabilized. Afterwards, the blood cell report was good, so after only 18 days, the doctor announced that my mother could be discharged from the hospital. Heaven is clear.

We all breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor made this announcement. After all, it was less than a week before New Year’s Eve, and we wished that our mother could celebrate the New Year at home. During this smooth treatment period, my mother and we are very grateful to the nurse Wang Jinyu who I met for the first time in the hospital.Sister Jin Yu is very careful when taking care of her mother, and she will also gossip with her, giving her a trustworthy sense of trust.In this hospitalization, my mother was always very uneasy because she was afraid of the same ups and downs as the previous hospitalization. After discussing with me, my brother had the cheek to go to the nursing station and asked sister Jinyu to come to the ward to find my mother's "blessing".

Sister Jin Yu was also very touched when she learned of her position in her mother's heart. No matter whether she was scheduled for her shift that day or not, she would visit her in the ward every time before she got off work, and talk to her before leaving.Sister Jin Yu said that being able to make a patient remember her and generate great trust is her greatest pride since she became a nurse. Alas, we are actually just happy that we can meet such a good nurse to relieve my mother's occasional sense of distress. In the hospital, we met all kinds of nurses.Some nurses are like soldiers, every action is completed with lightning speed, which makes us nervous sometimes; some nurses are very tired of talking to patients, but some nurses will take the initiative to tease patients to say something; The voice is very loud, and every time we enter the room, we are full of energy, and we are also contaminated with a lot of energy. According to my observation, nurses who already have children are usually more considerate, but no matter what type of angel in white, they regard work as a "profession" or "professional ambition", and they will take care of patients in their actions. Which are revealed separately. We couldn't ask for more, but always pray for luck.
