Yesterday was a day worth celebrating and my mother was discharged from hospital. I was busy watching the documentary "Yuan mingyuan" last night, so I didn't write anything.
Now, I still remember that in the summer of 95 years, I lived in my sister's house. Later, my mother was hospitalized and had a heart disease. At that time, I got oxygen, which was very serious. In the winter, my mother went to Changsha to carry out the mitral extension operation. At that time, I was still reading the second day. Because it was too small, my family didn't tell me that I only knew that my sister and brother-in-law were at home. By the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother came back and was carried back on a stretcher by the villagers. She was very weak. Day by day, my mother's body began to recover, and gradually began a normal person's life.
Time passed so fast, and in the twinkling of an eye, my mother's old problem was committed again. When I went to the appendix 2 examination, I also went. The doctor said I was about to prepare for another operation. At that time, I didn't want to perform an operation. I just prescribed some medicine to get it back. It took another three years. Last year, my mother found out that there was a colon disease, so she went to Appendix 2 during the National Day. By the way, she looked at her heart and the doctor said she needed an operation. At that time, we also prescribed some medicines. We knew that taking heart disease medicine was almost ineffective, so we only bought the medicine for enteritis. Later, I found that my mother's body was obviously inferior to the previous one year. I often caught a cold and it was very difficult. It seems that no operation can be performed. I didn't go home for 51, but I went home to complete my mother's operation. During this period, I went to Appendix 2. The doctor looked at the results of the National Day examination last year and said it was serious. If possible, he could consider performing an operation. So we discussed a result with us and operated before the National Day.
It's easy to imagine. in the case of an operation, my mother is always swinging. She is under pressure. One is to spend 5 to 6 yuan, and the other is afraid of problems with the operation. Just a few days before I was about to take a leave of absence, she told her sister not to perform an operation. I checked some information on the Internet and showed my mother's examination results to my doctor. This kind of operation is very mature and has little risk, which strengthened my confidence. I finally convinced my mother to complete the surgery before the National Day.
This was an early Rush. On the evening of the 21st, I took the train home and got home on the morning of the 22nd. On the 26th, the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally designed to go to Appendix 2 on the 27th. Later I thought it would be too hasty to go on the 27th. I was unable to perform an operation before the National Day. At dinner on the 23rd, my brother-in-law contacted Dr. Hu. On the 24th, he went to the clinic. It was really good.
Early in the morning on the 24 th, our brother-in-law drove us to Appendix 2, which was very smooth and we were immediately hospitalized. There were fewer people in the ward than we thought, probably because we were nearing the National Day. The condition in the ward is good. It is clean and tidy. There are 3 beds, toilets and hot water, air conditioners and drinking water. The price is also affordable. 60 yuan is spent one night with one person, 10 yuan a night. When I went to the ward, I had already had two patients, one of whom was similar to my mother. I was 60 years old. I changed my mitral valve for a week and it looked good. However, her illness is more serious, and there is a thrombosis. Because of taking aspirin, the operation was postponed for a week. Another 15-year-old girl has been in hospital for nearly two months because of full-body edema, and her feet are still swollen.
When I first entered the room, I thought there were a lot of people in the ward. The old lady had to get up many times at night and had to cough constantly. So she could not sleep well at night, it seems that 170 of single rooms are good, at least for peace, but I don't think so later. At first, we were not clear about the procedure of the hospital, and the patients had fear. by communicating with the patients and their families, we knew what to do next and how to deal with some situations, I also learned about some doctors. Looking at the old lady's recovery, my mother began to look forward to going home early after an operation. The hospital was indeed a bit stuffy, although the conditions were good and clean.
During the discussion, we were informed about some situations of other patients. A 40-year-old woman was swollen when she got into the hospital. It was too serious. The doctor told her family that she would not perform the operation, but was afraid that she would not be able to get down from the surgical platform. The patient was very resolute, I said that even if I die, I will die in Xiangya. After several days and nights, I finally went back to my home, so I felt so desperate to survive. The other girl was in the same ward with her, and her operation was successful. However, because of heart failure, other visceral functions were poor, she began to vomit blood in the ward a few days later. The girl's mother said it was terrible. At night, she saw all her sheets filled with blood. She finally died in the intensive care unit in less than a few hours. One patient was injured because he did not listen to the advice of the Doctor. After the patient had undergone the operation for a few days, he did not listen to the doctor's words and went to bed at night. As a result, the valve became loose and then operated again, in addition, the number of ICU visits is several times, but the ICU cannot be accessed. The number of ICU visits is at least in a day.
Some tests and examinations were performed in the next two days, and an import operation was performed on the 26th to test whether there was coronary heart disease. This operation cut the wrist artery, inserted catheter directly to the heart of the coronary artery, to test whether the coronary artery is narrow, that is, often referred to as coronary heart disease. The operation was successful and completed in half an hour. When my sister in the middle saw that the door of the operating room was not closed, she took a look. As a result, she almost fainted and saw the blood in her mother's hand. After arriving at the ward, because my mother's wrist was slightly moved down, the arterial blood flow rushed out, but it was good to hold down the artery in time, and the doctor bandaged it. The results of the operation came out, very smooth, no coronary heart disease, just waiting for the 28 th operation.
In order to relax our mother, we went out for dinner at night and sat down under the inpatient building for a long time. After returning to the ward, the doctor asked me to sign, including anesthesia and surgery signatures. The doctor told me in detail how the procedure would be performed and what risks were involved in each step. Tomorrow's operation will take general anesthesia, one needle each in the jugular vein and the hand vein, split the sternum with an electric saw, replace the heart and lung function with external circulation, and re-activate after the operation is completed, four steel wires were used to fix the sternum, and the left atrium and right atrium of the mitral valve were located between the left atrium and right atrium. The damage was determined whether to cut off or directly retained for replacement. At that time, I did not ask the doctor about the time it took to perform the operation, because I had already inquired about the patient's family in the same room, that is, about four hours.
Although I have always felt that the risks of surgery are very small, I still think that the risks should not be ignored after hearing the doctor's words. After all, it is a very large operation, and any accident may be fatal. After signing the ticket, I checked all the test results since admission and the final diagnosis results. Who knows this is not for their families, and the doctor who came to pick up these documents. From the various diagnostic results, the risk of surgery is still not big, because the mother's liver, lung, kidney function is better, the heart condition is also more friendly than that of the same age.
After comforting my mother, I went to bed with my father at the hotel. I have to take a good rest and don't worry about tomorrow's surgery, but I can't sleep at all. Maybe from the bottom of my heart, I am still worried about tomorrow's surgery. After all, it is a line of life and death, in addition, this operation was difficult for me to persuade my mother to do, and I was under pressure. It was hard to get to Dawn. When I arrived at the ward, my sister arrived from home. My sister told me that she had taken a sleeping pill for her mother last night, but she did not go to bed for another night, this is probably the case. After all, this is the second operation.
At half past seven, the doctor pushed a stretcher and gave his mother a needle (it should be anesthetic). We went downstairs and sent her to the operating room on the third floor. The rest was a long wait. The time was so slow. There were several times in the middle when doctors talked to the patient's family. We should discuss the problem with the family about the operation. This is what we don't want to see most. One of the doctors looked for the same patient's family two times, and the tears from the woman could tell that the situation was not good. At in a twinkling of an eye, there was still no movement in the operating room. We started to feel a little anxious. I learned from a woman in her twenties that the second procedure would have been more complex than the first one, lasting 6 to 7 hours. Her husband is 25 years old. Like her mother, she had extended surgery in 98 years. This time, she changed the mitral valve. The strange thing is that he will change the biological valve for 10-20 years) instead of a metal valve (which can be used for a lifetime in theory), she does not seem to know the difference between the two valves. I heard that the biological valve can only be used for 10-20 years, it will be surprising to have another operation later. It seems that appendix 2 has a special liking for the biological valve, and does not tell the family of the two kinds of valve advantages and disadvantages, when we were in the surgery clinic, the doctor (that is, the mother's main surgeon) said that the metal valve has a sound, biovalve can be used for more than 20 years (there is a lot of water in the middle, but the biovalve may be better at Mother's age ). At, there was still no movement in the operating room, so we went to dinner in batches. When we came back, I heard my sister say that my mother had already transferred to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit, because the woman's husband had already been transferred in, she went to the ward to ask the nurse to know, so her sister also asked. Later, I read the cost list to know that my mother was admitted to the ICU at, that is, the operation lasted for five and a half hours. Although the doctor told us before the operation that the patient would be transferred directly from the operating room to the ICU after the operation, we always thought we would at least inform us that we did not expect to know it only when we had to inquire, fortunately, the operation went smoothly.
Wait again, wait for the mother to switch from the ICU to the ward, generally 2 days, depending on the patient's status, until the situation is stable to switch to the ward. I had nothing to do, so my father and sister went back the next morning. I stayed in the Ward alone. The girl's mother told me to try to leave the house as little as possible, because if she is transferred to the ward tomorrow, the nurse will come to me in the afternoon or evening and ask me to buy or provide something for her mother to eat. They are discharged from the hospital today and are going to go home at night, so we will only be left in the ward. Sure enough, when the nurse arrived at night, I ordered a squid soup from her and gave her bananas and milk for her mother to drink. Miss nurse was very dedicated and sold nutrilai to me. Of course I don't want it. After the notification, I went to zhibie to go to bed.
Arrive in the ward early in the morning, because the nurse said that generally the patients are transferred to the ward at. At, the nurse took the instrument (which can measure the heartbeat and blood pressure and control the injection). At, the mother arrived at the ward and looked very weak, with oxygen inserted, A guide tube is hung on the wound, a bottle is hung on the stomach, and a few syringes installed on the machine are injected in addition to a bit of water on the neck. My mother was dizzy because her blood pressure was too low and she couldn't open her eyes. Fortunately, there was a very responsible young doctor who adjusted the machine and blood pressure of the injection many times, finally let the mother's blood pressure back to normal, the eyes can open. If it weren't for this doctor, we wouldn't know when to handle it. After all, we don't know why. Because she had been lying for too long, her mother was sore, and the wound was very painful, so she spent less than half an hour sleeping even after taking the painkillers for the first night, so we stayed with her for one night. The doctor told her to shoot her back from her mother every one or two hours and let her cough to restore her lung function. This is very painful because the cough affects the wound at the beginning, but in order to recover as soon as possible, we had. At the beginning, I thought the old lady was catching cold.
On the morning of the next day, a 15-year-old boy came with a patient. I don't know whether the Doctor's negligence or his luck is poor. Originally, it was the heart-filling diaphragm of the minimally invasive interventional procedure, and the hospital would be discharged in two or three days. As a result, when I was a child during the procedure, the doctor found that the patch had been thrown into his heart, just as if his mother had opened the chest and re-completed it. According to the doctor, the failure rate was only 1, so my family had trouble finding a hospital later. From the wet hair of the boy, he can see how painful he is. However, he endured it, without moaning or speaking, and took a painkiller at night, painkillers have basically no effect on the huge pain caused by this open chest operation.
With our girlfriend joining us, we can finally go to bed for two or three hours this evening. With our care, our mother's health is slowly recovering. On the third day, the young doctor in charge helped his mother pull out the guide tube. The old catheter was inserted under the wound. During the pulling, we also saw the mother's wound completely, with Bilateral seams, it healed well. In this way, the machine is removed, and there is only one kidney gland injector and a bit of water hanging around the neck.
On the first 2 or 3 days, she had been vomiting slightly because of the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract by the anesthetic, and her mother had been suffering from colitis. Diarrhea is not a good phenomenon. The old lady next door had diarrhea on the fourth day after the operation. At that time, the chief doctor did not actively handle the problem. As a result, the kidney problem occurred, and the heart was good, but the kidney function encountered a serious problem, dialysis is required. Her daughter-in-law looked angry when talking to us, because the old man insisted on the operation and now it was like this. If she didn't go home and waited for money to spend dialysis, she could not even go back to burial. It is said that when she was young, she was an accountant and saved some money. This time, she spent her savings. In a few days, the old man still went home, and the results could be imagined.
Looking at the date approaching work, I felt a little worried and a little sad. It comforted me that my mother was in a good situation and she could eat and walk around with our support. The current surgical procedure is amazing. After such a big procedure, you will be able to get out of bed in 4 or 5 days. The heart can not only change the valve, but also perform transplantation or even cardiopulmonary transplantation. In the afternoon, the doctor came over and said that he was going to split the cables and perform the examination. It seems that he can be discharged from the hospital, and I will leave for Guangzhou tomorrow.
After lunch on the 6th, I arrived in Guangzhou with perseverance. Yesterday, my sister told my mother that the results of X-ray and color Doppler ultrasound were very good. My brother-in-law drove her back to pick her up. In the distant Guangzhou City, I can only call home and pray that she will recover soon.
This operation costs nearly 57 thousand, which will bring the mother 10-20 years of health. The hospital was hospitalized for 16 days and discharged 12 days after the operation. From the hospital's daily purchase list, we know that Medtronic's biological mitral valve costs 13.7 thousand, and the cost for mitral valve replacement is more than 38 thousand (more than on the day of the operation), and the cost for tricuspid valve repair is more, the cost for the imported surgical procedures is more than, and the ICU costs are about in two days. The cost for testing and medical care is more. In this way, the hospital saves one patient after another.
The treasure of health is that once lost, it will take a lot of money to re-possess it. Sometimes it cannot be re-possessed, and people tend to ignore its existence when they own it. People who get healthy again through medical care are happy. The most unfortunate thing is that people who have money and no money can cure them. They hope their mothers will be safe throughout their lives.
