Chapter 22 My eyesight is very good
There is a wheelchair at the innermost layer of the cloakroom at home. Yunxi saw it early. Shen Mingxu said that it was the wheelchair he used during repeated operations on his left leg in the UK. He didn't want to use it again, but the wheelchair was customized according to his body shape. It was expensive and he didn't want to sell it second-hand, so he brought it back. This time, it came in handy again.
Shen Mingxu was still helpless after two operations. He couldn't move on his own. The surgical incision was relatively long, and an external fixation brace was added. The doctor didn't allow him to turn over and move his body within half a month. Especially his left leg was much worse than that of ordinary people, and he was expressly forbidden to go out for exercise.
It was even more difficult for the eyes. He couldn't see, and the panic and uncertainty in his heart increased. No matter how good-tempered a person is, he can't stand the sudden blindness, not to mention that Shen Mingxu has never been a good-tempered and easy-going person.
"I can do it myself. You can borrow a wheelchair and push me to the bathroom." He asked to turn over and move around while lying in bed, but Shen Mingxu's legs and eyes were not suitable for movement, especially his eyes. He had to lie prone for about four hours every day to meet the doctor's requirements.
"There is a wheelchair. The young lady brought it from home." Shen Mingxu couldn't see, and the nurse explained to him honestly.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" His eyes were taped tightly and wrapped tightly with white gauze. Even so, Shen Mingxu's unhappy expression could be seen from his protruding brow bones and exposed brow peaks.
"Xiaoxu, I'm back." Since he fell and was hospitalized, Yunxi has been able to make sure that his voice arrived before he entered the door. She has never experienced the feeling of not being able to see him all day, but she is trying her best to be considerate of her lover.
"Let me see who made you unhappy?" She looked at the nurse and shook her head helplessly, then held Shen Mingxu's hand by the bedside and carefully observed the emotional changes on his face.
"I want to wash myself. I just found out that you have brought the wheelchair from home. They didn't tell me." The anger in the man's voice was gone. With his lover by his side, Shen Mingxu felt that the pain in his body seemed to be much better.
"It's my fault. I listened too much to the doctor. The doctor said you can't move, so I said I didn't tell you that the wheelchair was brought. I'm sorry
, Xiaoxu. It's my fault." They all ignored the fact that he couldn't see the wheelchair. Although they didn't deliberately hide it, they did not consider his mood. "I'm sorry, I'm in such a bad state." Shen Mingxu felt relieved when he heard her voice because he couldn't see her face, but then he was worried. He was worried that he would look too useless and haggard now. Did he disappoint her?
"It was an accident. Don't apologize. You are the one who got hurt." She leaned over, breathing like orchids and approached him, and took the initiative to put her little hand in his palm.
Raising his hand very slowly, Shen Mingxu carefully put the back of his hand up to the direction where Yunxi was speaking. He wanted to touch her face, but he was afraid that his reckless actions would hurt her, so he had to tentatively reach out and try to get close to her.
Holding the big hand with her small hand, Yunxi put his hand on her face, letting him touch her. She also playfully turned her head to kiss his palm, one by one, to express her love, companionship and comfort.
The invisible person's heart has melted into water.
"Your leg bones are not good, so don't rush to do things yourself. Leave yourself to professional caregivers and rest for a few more days. If you fall again, my mother-in-law and I will really cry with heartache." Yunxi, who has a strong personality and a strong will, always speaks in a soft voice. Shen Mingxu naturally benefited from her gentle persuasion, and soon the irritable man nodded and agreed to her words.
Seeing that the caregiver picked up Shen Mingxu very skillfully and tried to avoid touching his injured leg as much as possible, he still couldn't avoid pain. Moreover, Shen Mingxu couldn't see and had a poor sense of balance. He felt very insecure. He had to grope around in a wheelchair and hold the wheelchair handrail to make sure it was safe.
Shen Mingxu can't sit still now. He has a steel plate built into his thigh. The doctor has forbidden him to put any force on his leg, especially since his left leg is riddled with holes and the bone quality is particularly poor. Putting any force on it too early can easily cause osteomyelitis, osteoporosis, and other conditions.
Therefore, Shen Mingxu is also stressed and uncomfortable when sitting in a wheelchair. He will subconsciously want to support himself with the armrest to relieve the discomfort on his thigh. However, he can't wash himself in a backwards sitting position. The nurse can only hold him to support his body while another nurse holds a basin for him, so that he can wash himself in a backwards sitting position.
Seeing him working hard, Yunxi really wants to help. Thinking of his strong self-esteem and his desire to be independent, she sits on the sofa outside and waits for him to wash before chatting with him. "Xiaoxu, you are great, but don't force yourself. Does your leg hurt?"
"A little, it's okay." Shen Mingxu, who is sitting in a wheelchair, with gauze wrapped around his eyes, tilts his head in the direction of Yunxi's voice. It's not very accurate, but it's already an improvement.
"What were you doing at the stairs that day?" Her hand gently stroked his face. In just a few days, Shen Mingxu's cheeks had become thinner.
"At that time, I just left the meeting room and received a call from my brother. There was something important, so I just walked over there and accidentally fell." If Shen Mingxu knew that he would fall down the stairs and fall so badly, he would certainly be extra careful, but it was too late to regret.
"Oh, no one pushed you?" Guessing the situation at the time, he must have gone to a place with fewer people to avoid other people, but he accidentally fell because the light in the corridor was not good.
Anyway, he couldn't see it, Yunxi pouted unhappily and said nothing.
"No one else..."
The accident was indeed an accident. Yunxi hugged Shen Mingxu and gently pressed against his gauze-wrapped cheek. She regretted not sticking to him and guarding him.
Perhaps they had finished their important work, so Shen Zhongheng and Shen Mingchen came to visit the young master. The 60-year-old Shen Zhongheng was nine years older than Mrs. Shen, but he was tall and handsome, and looked much younger than his actual age. In the ophthalmology director's office, they learned about Shen Mingxu's condition in detail.
"It is said that he needs to lie down for three months, which is a requirement after a routine operation. The young master does not need to lie down for three months. We can confirm on the second day after the operation that although the retina of his right eye has grown back on the eyeball, it is actually not good. He has severe myopia and astigmatism. The most fundamental problem is high intraocular pressure, detachment of the spot area, and severe retinal tears. His retinal lesions are very special." The doctor tried his best to explain the cause of the disease in easy-to-understand words. His words were credible because this diagnosis was a conclusion drawn by experts from across hospitals and even across countries. Before coming to the hospital, Shen Zhongheng actually knew everything.
"Doctor, what you mean is that Mingxu's right eye is already blind, and he doesn't know it yet?" Nodding to the doctor, Shen Zhongheng asked his wife, who nodded with red eyes.
"Mr. Shen, you don't have to worry. The young master needs to be hospitalized for about half a month. I will tell him slowly and let him know about his eye problems." The doctor has begun to do things beyond his duties, giving the Shen family great face.
"I remember hearing from my wife that the right eye needs to be treated for a long time. How can it be treated if it is already blind? Will Mingxu's vision recover a little?" Shen Zhongheng hopes that his son will not be disabled again. Although he does not only like children who look good, he certainly hopes that his youngest son will be in better health.
The doctor immediately waved his hands and shook his head, "Sorry, sorry, complete loss of vision cannot be cured. However, for the sake of the left eye that still has vision and the blind right eye that does not atrophy, does not have pain, and looks normal, surgery is still required. These are follow-up treatments."
The youngest son's right eye is already blind, and the eldest son frowned silently. Shen Zhongheng nodded to show that he understood. Mrs. Shen was sad and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes silently. The whole Shen family was shrouded in a dark and depressed atmosphere.
In the days after the femoral surgery, Shen Mingxu followed the doctor's orders and lay down for a few hours every day. His eyes were regularly patched and carefully examined. Although he was well cared for, he still needed to be bandaged.
He recovered worse than an average person, but his left leg had no strength and almost no function. Shen Mingxu himself didn't know how bad his left leg had become, but his patience was almost worn out by having to stay in bed all day.
When Shen Mingchen came to the ward, the nurse had just let Shen Mingxu lie down to rest for a while, and was fiddling with the iPad to play music for the patient.
"Xiaoxu, hey, how did you fall so hard?" Shen Mingchen strode in, sat beside the bed, and grabbed his brother's hand.
Being grabbed by someone's hand suddenly, Shen Mingxu couldn't react and trembled with fear. Hearing that it was his brother, he immediately turned his head in the direction of Shen Mingchen and whispered, "Brother, I'm fine."
Looking at the Shen family couple who followed behind him, Yunxi stood up and saluted slightly, not interrupting their family's conversation.
Until the three people left, Shen Mingchen didn't express any guilt, only saying that his brother and sister-in-law had taken the trouble to take care of him, and that his brother had an old problem.
Lowering his head, Yunxi responded vaguely, feeling very annoyed and wanted to slap him to death.
"I'll see my father-in-law off, and then go see if the doctor has any new medical advice. You take a nap. When I come back, I'll help you check your phone to see if there's any news." Before leaving the ward, Yunxi held Shen Mingxu's hand and told him earnestly. She left only after he nodded.
The two elders of the Shen family left, and the nurses were relieved. When they heard Yunxi mention the phone, the nurse kindly said to Shen Mingxu, "Young Master, the phone has a voice narration function. You can try it."
In response to his suggestion, Shen Mingxu remained silent for a long time.
Through the window of the hospital corridor, Yunxi was surprised to find that the peach blossoms were in bloom. The weather was still very cold, but the flowers had already bloomed. Spring was here, but he couldn't see...
"Doctor, Xiaoxu has very poor eyesight, and the blindness of his right eye is a huge blow to him."
"Just tell me if you have any requests." The attending doctor had just explained the patient's condition to the patient's parents, and when he faced the patient's gentle wife again, his psychological pressure was much less.
"My eyesight is very good, and it won't affect me much if I live with one eye. I want to give one of my corneas to my husband. Is it okay?" Yunxi has her own plan. Although it is immature, she wants to try.
In the office, the doctor saw for the first time that the wife of such a rich family was so gentle and weak. Yunxi's amazing beauty and humble and gentle attitude were very inconsistent. The doctor couldn't understand how such a young and beautiful girl could say such shocking words so lightly. Wouldn't she be afraid? Didn't she care about her appearance? She?
"Sorry, corneal transplantation cannot be performed for many reasons. I won't explain them to you one by one. The young master still has another eye to see." Considering the possibility of failure of the operation from the perspective of ethics and morality, the doctor's answer became more and more decisive.
"But his remaining vision is too poor..." Yunxi didn't want to give up.
"It's better than having no vision." The doctor already wanted to end the conversation.
Yunxi left the doctor's office with a lost step. She was very worried about Shen Mingxu. He was highly myopic and had a large astigmatism. Because of the car accident, his retinas had detached. This accidental fall caused him to go blind in his right eye. She could not accept this result, let alone Shen Mingxu himself.
