I received a call from my dad on Wednesday night, saying that he had called a specialist for my mom and diagnosed the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. I was so anxious that I didn't sleep all night, so I booked a high-speed rail ticket to Beijing overnight.
Seeing a doctor in Beijing is too troublesome. The MRI scheduled for Wednesday cannot be done until 10pm on Saturday.
While waiting for the MRI, I took my mother to other outpatient clinics at the Aerospace Hospital, but it was all in vain and no problem was found.
After the MRI on Saturday night, the doctor told me to call an emergency room immediately, which shocked me.
The previous doctor said that even if I did get sick, there would be no major problems in the short term, but the doctor who took the X-ray asked me to go to the emergency department immediately. I thought she had seen something, so I started thinking about the worst.
After seeing the result, the emergency doctor said that it was just a mild cerebral infarction and not Alzheimer's disease at all. As for whether there were any other symptoms, he suggested that he be hospitalized for a comprehensive examination. However, the hospital did not have beds yet, so we were asked to go back and wait.
My dad and I breathed a sigh of relief when we found out. After all, we had prepared for the worst. As long as it was not Alzheimer's disease, other symptoms were acceptable. At most, it would cost more to see a doctor, which was better than Alzheimer's disease.
Since there were no beds in hospitals in Beijing, my father and I were in a hurry to see my mother, so I took my mother back to my hometown the next day to get checked out at a big hospital in my hometown.
The diagnosis results from the hospital in my hometown were similar to those in Beijing. They said it was not serious. However, in addition to a mild cerebral infarction, carotid arteriosclerosis was also found.
I was still a little worried and asked the doctor if I wanted to be hospitalized for treatment, but the doctor said that it was not a serious illness and that there was no need to be hospitalized at all. As long as I took medicine on time and rested for a while, the cerebral infarction would be cured.
Only then did I feel completely relieved, but my dad was very angry. He said that he had registered a specialist appointment because he was afraid of misdiagnosis. As a result, the doctor who registered a specialist appointment regarded a minor cerebral infarction as Alzheimer's disease, which made him Our family has been scared for so many days.
I was actually a little angry, and the money was second to none. The main reason was that I was terribly frightened during this period, and I had never been so frightened in my life.
I really thought my mother had Alzheimer's disease, so I watched all the relevant video information, prevention, and care. But in the end, I was scaring myself, and I felt happy but speechless.
Now that the problem has basically been solved, I have settled my mother in my hometown. Next, my mother will recover and recover, and the author will return to work and resume updates.
Originally, I planned to keep updating this month, but this force majeure factor suddenly appeared, and the author had no choice but to do so. I am really sorry.
