Chapter 610 611. Paralyzed in bed, children's performance

Yue Wenxuan opened his eyes again, and the memories of this life and the memories of previous lives were merged together.

The time now is March 1960, and the location is Quancheng, the capital of Eastern Province.

The experience in this life is a bit miserable, and the age is a bit too old. In my previous life, I traveled to a forty-year-old middle-aged man who was also bankrupt and divorced. It was already miserable enough.

In this life, it is still the same.

In this life, Yue Wenxuan was born in 1910 and joined the revolutionary ranks when he was a student. He is already fifty years old this year, and he is still paralyzed in bed.

Since 1955, I have been transferred to work in the food system. I have been working hard and making great achievements. Two years ago, I was already a cadre at the fourteenth level.

Now Yue Wenxuan is alone. His wife passed away a year ago. They have four sons and two daughters in total. The eldest daughter and three sons are all married and have families. Only the fourth son and the youngest daughter are still in school.

Half a year ago, I went to the grain station to inspect the work, but unexpectedly something happened.

At that time, he and a group of people were standing on a pile of raw grains several meters high. One of them slipped and was about to fall. Regardless of his own danger, the original person grabbed the opponent, but he himself fell down.

Fortunately, the original person's level was high enough, at least it would not put a financial burden on his family. Moreover, since the original mother has many children, everyone shares the responsibility of taking care of the patient, so the burden is not that heavy.

Even if it were treated decades later, such a condition would still be difficult to cure. In the early 1960s, when there was a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, there would be no effective treatment.

If a high-level paraplegic patient appears in an ordinary family, it will really be a huge disaster.

Patients with high paraplegia like Yuan Shen cannot move at all while lying on the bed, and are very prone to bed sores, so they need regular massage every day. If the family members are a little relaxed and the massage is not timely, the patient may develop bedsores due to being immobile for a long time.

Originally, we were planning to hire an aunt, as we felt that female caregivers were more attentive, but due to dignity issues, we strongly disagreed, and finally hired a young and strong young man.

Fortunately, there were several bags of grain to cushion the fall. There were no serious injuries to the internal organs, nor were the arms and legs broken. However, unfortunately, the nerves on the cervical spine were injured, causing the original paraplegia.

Yuan Shen stayed in the hospital for a month, but her condition showed little improvement. She could only follow the doctor's advice and go home to recuperate slowly.

My eldest daughter is a train conductor. She has to leave the train for four days every time she goes to work. After she comes back, she can rest at home for four days. It is difficult to arrange the time, so she is not allowed to arrange shifts to take care of patients.

The original body was close to 1.8 meters tall and weighed almost 160 kilograms. He could not move while lying on the bed. It took a lot of effort to turn him over.

As the saying goes, there is no filial son before a long-term illness. An old man who is paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of himself is indeed a huge burden to his children.

At this time, the most difficult period has just begun. Everyone is racking their brains to fill their stomachs. The family also has to take care of the original body who cannot take care of himself, which makes it even worse.

Yuan Shen's salary is very high, and the jobs of her four siblings are also good. Having a patient like Yuan Shen is financially affordable. The main reason is that everyone is working and no one can stay with the patient 24 hours a day. around.

In a broad sense, paraplegia is paralysis of the lower limbs caused by damage to the brain, spinal cord, or both. In a narrow sense, paraplegia refers to paralysis of the lower limbs caused by damage to the spinal cord below the chest.

The money spent is not much, only twenty-eight yuan a month. The original owner can come up with the money himself, and does not need to bear the burden from his children.

The two youngest children are still in school. Of course, the responsibility of taking care of the patients will not be assigned to them. It can only be shared by the four siblings who are already married.

How long a patient with high paraplegia can survive has a lot to do with how meticulously the family members take care of them.

For patients who are paralyzed in bed, bedsores are a deadly enemy. Patients with high paraplegia have extremely low immunity. Even if they have a slight cold or fever, it is extremely difficult to reduce the fever, and it may be fatal.

High paraplegia refers to quadriplegia caused by spinal cord injury at higher levels, usually caused by transverse spinal cord damage above the cervical or thoracic spinal cord.

After several people negotiated, they hired a caregiver for Yue Wenxuan who could take care of him during the day.

It is really difficult to take good care of a paralyzed patient who cannot take care of himself.

This condition is very serious. He has no feeling in his limbs and below the chest, and has no ability to take care of himself at all.

After consultation, the three sons decided to share the responsibility of taking care of their old father. Starting with the eldest, each of them would be on duty for a week.

During the day, a nurse takes care of her. After get off work in the afternoon, the nurse goes home. During the evening, her sons take turns staying at home with the patient.

After sorting out all his memories, Yue Wenxuan quickly accepted the current bad situation.

The reason why he can accept it so calmly is not because of how strong his endurance is, but because he is confident that he will recover in a short time.

If there was no way to improve the current situation, Yue Wenxuan would never accept being paralyzed in bed. He would rather die and start over from scratch than suffer such a fate.

Only through personal experience can one truly understand how painful high paraplegia is.

The patient has to endure both physical and psychological torture. Being unable to take care of oneself is a great test of self-esteem. Even a proletarian warrior like the original person cannot pass this test.

After the original person learned about his illness, he already had the idea of ​​committing suicide. The original person did not want to endure this kind of living state without dignity and quality for a day.

Unfortunately, without feeling in his limbs, even if the original body wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't do it on his own.

During this period of time, the original person had been racking his brains to think of ways to commit suicide. Fortunately, Yue Wenxuan came through in time and solved this trouble for him.

Yue Wenxuan was lying on the bed, thinking silently. Unknowingly, the morning light had filtered through the window, and the furnishings in the room were clearly visible.

This house was allocated to the original person three years ago. Although the area is not very large, only about 50 square meters, the other supporting facilities are very good. The original person is very satisfied with being assigned such a house.

The entire residential building was originally an office building before liberation. Now it has been transformed into residential housing. Naturally, there cannot be any more demanding requirements.

Because it is an office converted into housing, there is no need to consider supporting facilities such as kitchens and bathrooms, and they can only be used as they are. Most of the houses in the entire building do not have bathrooms, but there are public water rooms and public toilets on every two floors. Most residents are satisfied with such conditions.

Because it is a former office building, the leader's office is of course different. There are only two offices in the entire building designed and built for leaders. Both are equipped with bathrooms, and there are also lounges and secretary reception rooms on the second and fourth floors respectively.

The leader's office on the second floor was allocated to Yuan Shen. There were only two large houses with bathrooms in the whole building, which was naturally the envy of everyone.

The original owner did not make much changes to this house. He only added a partition to the original leader's office and turned it into two small bedrooms for his children to live in separately.

It turned out that the leader's lounge became Yue Wenxuan's master bedroom. Although the area was small, only a little more than ten square meters, it was pretty good for this era.

Because it is the leader's office, the floor is paved with mirror-smooth terrazzo, and all the doors in the office are made of solid materials, with good sound insulation.

After understanding all the conditions of this house, Yue Wenxuan was quite satisfied. After all, this would be his retirement home for the next twenty years. If the conditions were too poor, it would be difficult to find another place.

Yue Wenxuan was looking at the furnishings in the house when he heard a snap. Someone must have opened the corridor door and walked in.

Although he hadn't seen anyone coming yet, he knew it was his third son who had arrived early.

Among the original sons, the second son was his favorite. He spent the most effort on him and had the highest expectations for him.

From Yue Wenxuan's point of view, the original education for his children was pretty good. As long as they didn't set too high standards, they could all be regarded as good children.

There is a reason why the original person prefers this second son. The second son has been eloquent since he was a child and has a sweet mouth. After joining the work, he has been praised by leaders and colleagues for his high emotional intelligence.

The original person is a very strict person and has relatively high expectations for his children. Among the children, the eldest is honest and honest, while the third has a hot temper. Although the fourth is a college student, his ambition is to become a scientist, so the second can take over his connections and resources and hope to surpass him in the future.

It is precisely because of this expectation that the original person has always been more partial to the second boy.

But after being paralyzed in bed for half a year, the original person's view of the children changed dramatically.

Only through personal experience can we know that the child we love the most may not necessarily be the most filial child. The child who was often ignored by him was actually the most filial one.

The third child has been stubborn and hot-tempered since he was a child. If he fights with this person today and beats that person up tomorrow, he always brings trouble to the original person. The original person has always felt that the third child has a one-sided mind and it will be difficult for him to make any big achievements in the future. He does not have high expectations for him, so he does not pay enough attention and care to him.

It wasn't until he was paralyzed in bed and needed someone to take care of him that he realized that the child who really cared about him was actually the third child who had been neglected by him.

Despite what the doctors said, there was little hope of him ever getting back on his feet, unless a miracle happened. But the third son is always unwilling to give up. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he must give 100% effort.

The third son specifically sought out famous doctors and learned a set of massage techniques. According to the doctor, if he massaged his body more than twice a day, miracles might happen.

This set of massage techniques lasts forty minutes. If you do it at least twice a day, it is not easy to stick to it.

The third child specially gave this set of massage techniques to the nurse and his two brothers, asking the nurse to do it once in the morning and afternoon. He also hoped that the two brothers could take time to do it a few more times during their time in bed.

He himself even set an example. When he was in bed with her, he would take time out to give Yuan Shen four massages every day.

Do it once when you get up early, once at noon, once after dinner, and again before going to bed. During the week that he stayed with her, she would get four more massages every day, never less.

The eldest brother's work place is a bit far away and he can't make it there at noon. When he was with me in bed, he would have two more massages in the morning and evening. This lasted for half a year.

The eldest daughter would always come over when she was resting. She specially learned this massage technique from the third child, and she would also give her dad a massage whenever she had time.

Massaging continuously for forty minutes is a very hard thing, and the second child can't bear the hardship. After persisting for a few days, I felt that it had no effect, so I gave up.

After knowing that the second brother had given up, the third child was very angry and quarreled with him several times, but the second brother remained the same and there was nothing he could do.

The persistence of the third child and the eldest child was not without any effect. A month ago, the original body's hands regained some feeling, and now they can hold some larger things.

After using the results, the third child and the eldest child became more motivated to persevere, strengthened their faith, and were ready to continue doing it unremittingly.

But the second child didn't think this was the result of insisting on massage. It was still the same and no changes were made.

After people get old, especially when they are paralyzed in bed, they still care about whether their children are filial. This is especially true for people with sensitive minds like the original person.

If there is no comparison between the third child and the eldest child, the second child can come to bed with him every night during the week he is on duty, which can be regarded as a filial child.

But with the comparison between the two, it is inevitable that the original person will be a little disappointed and sad in his behavior towards his second son.

Especially when I saw the third child, I felt even more guilty.

The third child's filial piety is reflected in all aspects, not just in insisting on massage.

Nowadays, food and non-staple food are in such short supply. Even if I get some preferential treatment for patients, the extra monthly medical subsidy is very limited. It is difficult to even eat enough, let alone ensure nutrition.

In order to feed his father who was lying in bed, the third child tried every means possible. In addition to finding someone to adjust, he even took risks and went to the black market, so that he could find some good things for his father every now and then. Sometimes it might be a pound of black noodles, sometimes it might be a piece of ham or a few eggs.

What the original person was most worried about was that the third child would be discovered when he went to the black market, for which he got angry many times. After his fuss, he finally got Lao San to agree not to go to the black market again, and at most to find someone to adjust him.

When the third child walked into the bedroom, the second child was still sleeping soundly on the single bed nearby.

Seeing his father's eyes open, the third child ignored the second brother who was still sleeping and asked softly:

"Dad, let me tidy up the mattress for you first, and then we'll start massaging. Do you think that's okay?"
