Chapter 238: recover
Chapter 238 Restoration
Xu Shiqin woke up at night, and couldn't even drink water because the anesthetic hadn't worn off yet.
Xu Shiyan could only dip a cotton swab in water and wipe his sister's lips for relief.
After the anesthetic wears off, Xu Shiqin, who was tortured by severe pain, was dying. Even if the doctor gave him an analgesic, it could only alleviate part of it.
Xu Shiqin was sweating in pain, gritted his teeth and refused to cry or shout.
None of the doctors and nurses expected that the seemingly weak Xu Shiqin would be so strong.
You know, how many strong men can't survive the pain after the operation, and some people even cried and howled for the doctor to prescribe strong analgesics.
A girl as young as Xu Shiqin can't even cry out. This kind of perseverance is admirable.
After twenty-four hours, Xu Shiqin can eat.
At first it was only liquid food, but gradually I could eat some soft noodles, small wontons and the like.
Before the operation, Xu Shiyan asked Qi Yunsheng's daughter-in-law for help, and found a woman in her forties to accompany her in the hospital.
Aunt Wang took care of Xu Shiqin in the hospital, while Xu Shiyan concentrated on cooking, running between the hospital and Uncle Zhang's house.
Xu Shiyan changed ways to cook food for his younger sister, and from time to time went to the market to buy some spare ribs or big bones to make soup for Xu Shiqin.
Fortunately, I rented a house and cook by myself, so I can do whatever I want.
If this is staying at a restaurant, where can I buy bone soup? Can the stuff made by the restaurant compare with the stewed ones at home?
With Xu Shiyan's meticulous care, Xu Shiqin recovered quite quickly.
A week later, Xu Shiqin dared to move slowly to the ground.
When Xu Shiqin stood up for the first time with the support of his brother, he felt as if he was taller.
"Brother, have I become taller? Why do I feel that I am different from before?" Xu Shiqin asked in doubt and surprise.
Xu Shiyan looked down at the little girl beside him.
Because of spinal deformity, Xu Shiqin was only about 1.5 meters tall.
Now that most of the spine has been corrected, the whole body is stretched out, and naturally it is much taller than before.
"Well, it is taller. You are about 1.6 meters now. You are waiting for another operation. The curvature of the spine will completely return to normal. It should be a little higher."
Xu Shiyan was also very excited. He just said that there is no inheritance of short stature in the family. If his little sister grows up normally, she will definitely not be short.
Now it’s not bad, at least the spine has recovered, and the internal organs will not be squeezed in the future.
When Xu Shiqin gets old, the chest space will not be so crowded that the heart and lungs will not be able to relax.
"Brother, thank you, if you hadn't found a way to find someone and paid for my treatment, I'm afraid I would have to live like a hunchback for the rest of my life.
How dare I think that there will be a day when I can straighten up? "
Xu Shiqin, who suffered from postoperative pain in those days, didn't cry, but at this moment, she really couldn't help crying.
For so many years, she dreamed that she could stand straight in front of people.
Now, this dream can finally come true, and she is no longer a hunchback in the eyes of others.
She is a brand new Xu Shiqin, and she no longer has to bear strange looks from others.
Xu Shiqin cried bitterly while hugging her brother, and Xu Shiyan couldn't help crying too.
"Okay, okay, we just finished the operation a few days ago, so we can't cry.
Come on, you'd better go back to bed and lie down, the doctor said, you can't walk around for too long every day.
Take it step by step and give the spine and internal organs time to adapt. "
Spine deformity correction is actually tantamount to removing the proliferated bone on the spine through surgery and other means, and then forcing the spine to return to normal with the help of external force.
The spine has been bent for so many years, and the internal organs have also adapted to the original space.
This sudden recovery from correction requires time for the spine and internal organs to adapt. To put it simply, don’t stretch it out.
So the doctor told me to do it step by step, and not to move for too long at once, otherwise the internal organs will not be able to bear it.
Xu Shiqin wiped away his tears, went to the bathroom with Aunt Wang's support, and then came back and continued to lie down.
From then on, Xu Shiqin added a little more time for activities every day, and gradually felt that it was not so uncomfortable to get up and walk around.
November 24th, that is, the twelfth day of Xu Shiqin's operation, she was able to walk on the ground for half an hour.
Accompanied by Xu Shiyan, Xu Shiqin specially found a place with a big mirror, and went to look in the mirror.
Looking at the slightly hunched figure in the mirror, Xu Shiqin couldn't help crying again.
The scene that I dreamed of before has finally become a reality.
"Okay, let's go back, if the doctor doesn't see you during the ward round, he will have to reprimand me again."
Xu Shiyan looked at his sister like that, his eyes filled with relief.
How wonderful, this is what a girl in her twenties should look like.
"Wait for you to recover, I will take you to a department store to buy clothes.
Your old clothes probably won’t be worn anymore, so let’s change them all and buy new ones. "
How wonderful, my sister can dress up beautifully in the future, wearing beautiful long skirts.
His sister is good-looking, she must be prettier than the models in the pictorial.
Xu Shiyan helped Xu Shiqin, who was reluctant to part with him and looked back at the mirror, to leave and return to the ward.
As a result, as soon as I entered the ward, I saw a figure that shouldn't be here.
"Liwei, why are you here?" The siblings exclaimed at the same time.
The person waiting in the ward is Han Liwei who should be far away in Shenyang.
At this moment, he was wearing a grass-green uniform, standing upright in the ward, when he heard a familiar voice turning his head.
Then, I saw Xu Shiqin who had changed drastically as if he had been reborn from the ashes.
"Shiqin, how are you? I received a telegram that day saying that you were undergoing surgery in Changchun. I was so anxious that I died."
Han Liwei stepped forward and hugged Xu Shiqin in his arms.
Seeing this, Xu Shiyan might as well retreat to the door to give the lovers some space.
The two haven't seen each other for several years, and they meet again in this situation, so there must be a lot to talk about.
It’s better to avoid his light bulb for a while.
Xu Shiyan stood at the door, half-closed the door of the ward, and listened to the two people in the room whispering their parting and longing for each other.
After a while, Xu Shiyan coughed twice, pushed the door open again and entered.
At this moment, both Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin had calmed down. When Han Liwei saw Xu Shiyan enter the door, he immediately stood up.
"Third brother, thank you, I, I really didn't expect Shiqin to recover so well."
In Han Liwei's opinion, Xu Shiqin's current performance is already very good.
"Thank you? This is my own sister, and I should do everything for her."
Originally, Xu Shiyan still had some opinions on Han Liwei.
This guy came to chase his sister without making a sound, and really hooked her, it is really hateful.
But it seemed that Han Liwei had rushed over from such a long distance, and he immediately left after receiving the news.
Don't say anything else, just for this kind of affection, Xu Shiyan can't say anything else.
The two families have already agreed on a marriage, so what else can he say? admit it.
"Are you here on vacation? How long is the vacation? Will it not delay your business?" Xu Shiyan asked worriedly.
"Well, I originally asked for leave before the Chinese New Year to go back to get engaged and get married.
Didn’t you receive a letter from Shiqin? When I learned of her surgery, I really couldn't wait, so I took a vacation in advance to take care of her. "
