The next day, Director Fang arrived on time with Du Cheng.
The old man has regained consciousness and can speak some short sentences and have some simple communication with others, but he still cannot move his body.
After Director Fang finished the inspection, the joy on his face could not be concealed.
"The patient is conscious and his vital signs are stable. This is a good sign, indicating that the condition is improving quickly. If he continues to take the medicine, the blockage of blood vessels in the brain will become less and less. In another week, he should be able to regain a certain amount of activity. "
He looked at the family members and carefully explained the follow-up treatment plan.
"Rehabilitation treatment must be carried out at that time to allow the patient to recover as soon as possible. When patients perform physical activities, they need training to enhance muscle strength and endurance, and at the same time, gradually increase training to restore walking ability."
"You can also select and design some targeted activities from daily life to conduct rehabilitation training for the patient's hemiplegia, such as training the patient to dress, move, bathe, go to the toilet, etc. During rehabilitation training, you can use certain Assistive tools, such as four-legged canes, walkers, etc.”
The family members listened attentively and took notes on their mobile phones from time to time.
Director Fang finally said: "However, the patient's cerebral infarction has lasted for nearly ten years. It's hard to say to what extent he can finally recover. I personally think it will be good if he can regain the mobility of his upper limbs after rehabilitation training. By then, You may need to use a wheelchair to get around.”
The family members nodded excitedly: "No problem, my father is too old. His legs and feet will definitely be inconvenient at this age. We are very satisfied to be able to regain consciousness."
Director Fang smiled with satisfaction: "Your attitude is very good. There is an old saying in China that illness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. Many patients always think that they will get better as soon as they take medicine and be discharged from the hospital alive and kicking. This kind of thinking It’s wrong. Patient recovery is a long-term process..."
Du Cheng had already arrived at the bedside. He first excitedly saluted with a military salute and then introduced himself.
The old man was half lying on the bed, his eyes clear, and he kept staring at him intently.
"Mr. Song, you were brave and tenacious in the war years, dared to sacrifice, and were unknown and willing to sacrifice in the peace years. You perfectly embody the selfless spirit of the revolutionary years. You are worthy of our respect and worthy of learning by the majority of cadres."
"When you recover better, the leaders of the army will also come to visit. Then several of your comrades from the past will come together..."
The old man's calm expression finally changed. There was happiness, expectation, and even a hint of guilt on his face. He seemed to have thousands of words to express.
In the end, he didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Du Cheng glanced around and saw the certificates and commemorative medals spread out on the bedside table.
This was brought by the leader when he came to express condolences last time. Not only did he replace the old man's certificate of merit that year, but he also awarded some medals.
After the old man regained his consciousness, he obviously had learned about this. He took out all the medals and looked through them carefully.
He immediately picked up the certificate and asked with a smile: "Mr. Song, you must have been very brave on the battlefield back then. The conditions back then must have been very difficult. Do you still remember what happened at that time?"
The old man's eyes became excited, and he fell into deep thought for a while, recalling the scene at that time.
After a while, he slowly said: "The situation was very dangerous that year. Not long after the war broke out, the Eagle Country's Japanese invaders had already reached the border. I was with the troops in Fujian Province, and I originally planned to liberate Treasure Island. Yes, he was immediately transferred north."
"We took a train for a week to drive from the south to the northeast, and then walked into Beibang. Because the time was too short, the supplies were not fully prepared. I was still wearing a thin cotton coat from the south..."
The old man recounted what happened seventy years ago one by one. His speech was a little unclear at first, but then he slowly began to speak much more clearly.
The scene was completely silent, everyone listened quietly, with extremely serious expressions on their faces.
This war of blood and fire slowly began in front of everyone, revealing its cruel and bloody side.
This is something that everyone has never seen before. Now, in front of a survivor from that time, we can hear these thrilling stories again and experience the real details. Slowly, there is a heat in everyone's heart. Surge.
Just like the magma flowing under a volcano, it is hot and scorching, constantly accumulating power, waiting for the next eruption.
In the following period, the old man took his medicine on time and his condition became better and better.
A week later, Director Fang looked at the inspection report and confirmed the effectiveness of the drug treatment.
"CT images show that the shadows of various brain lesions have shrunk a lot, the central nervous system has also recovered somewhat, and the general paralysis has disappeared and turned into hemiplegia. The patient can sit up, eat and read on his own, but is still unable to get down. Bed walking.”
“The next step is aggressive rehabilitation, which will help with remission or recovery.”
He called a doctor from the rehabilitation department and formulated a detailed recovery plan for the old man. It is expected that he will be able to get out of bed and move around in about a month and regain a certain ability to take care of himself.
The old man's performance is also very good. He had some dizziness, eye swelling, blurred memory and other symptoms before, but now they have completely disappeared. He is in good spirits every day, and his cognitive and language abilities are no different from normal people.
The physical examination showed that all other indicators were good, there was no internal damage, and there was no overt or covert bleeding caused by taking too many anticoagulants.
All in all, the patient's condition is good in all aspects, and there are no obvious adverse reactions.
Since the old man cannot move, the rehabilitation staff initially perform passive activities on his limbs, including massaging the limbs, joints and muscles, etc. This is usually done 3 times a day for 10-15 minutes each time, so as to maintain muscle tension. Avoid muscle stiffness and atrophy.
As the cerebral infarction improves, the training intensity will be gradually increased until the muscle strength gradually recovers.
Rehabilitation training is a long-term process that pays attention to gradual exercise. Even after the elderly are discharged from the hospital, they must continue according to their own mobility in order to achieve good maintenance and improvement effects.
Fortunately, he has three children by his side, and the old man is well taken care of. Sometimes when the rehabilitation staff are not around, his family members will help massage his limbs and do some recovery exercises.
A month later, when Du Cheng came to the ward again, what he saw was the old man slowly walking upright indoors with the support of his family members.
"This...he recovered too quickly!" Du Cheng was stunned, with a look of shock on his face.
He was immediately overjoyed: "Great, Mr. Song is finally fine, and I can explain to the superiors."
Director Fang couldn't help but sigh: "I still estimated it a bit conservatively. The patient has recovered much better than I expected. He has almost completely recovered now."
Behind them were three octogenarians, each with gray hair and a cane, standing there tremblingly ready to fall down at any time. They looked older than the patients.
The three old people looked at the staggering old Song, and they were all so excited that they wiped away tears.
"What a miracle! It's simply a miracle!"
"I never expected that Lao Song could make a complete recovery at his age!"
"Am I dreaming!"
At this time, Mr. Song also saw three familiar old people. He stood motionless, staring at the three people and looking up and down.
After a while, he walked forward quickly, his voice trembling: "You, you are still alive, great, great."
He was already a little incoherent with excitement.
The three old men stepped forward and said in unison: "We are the only ones left in the group. Old Song, you have to hold on!"
After half a century of separation, their old comrades are reunited.
At this moment, everything was forgotten by them.
The four old men held each other's hands tightly and smiled at each other.
it is more than words.
