Changes 8—The Metamorphosis of Two Women
Chapter 8 Tow Women With The Same Hobby
From that day on, I began to make positive preparations. After amputation, I don't have enough money to install prosthetic limb, and I kept walking with two crutches. Now, I bought a wheelchair, and I used every opportunity to push the wheelchair out by myself. When an acquaintance asked me, I said that the crutching was too long and the armpit was worn out. Over time, I prefer wheelchairs to walking on crutches.
Two years later, my son was admitted to the University of Finance and Economics in X City. Flying Brother and I are still the same, he will come to see me twice or three times a year in B city, but I go to Z city a little more. He never took the initiative to talk to me about amputation. Sometimes I mentioned this topic, but he just dealt with it lightly.
Finally, I made all the preparations and called him again. "Flying Brother, arrange a amputation for me!"
"Have you decided? There's no medicine for regret."
"It's decided! Besides, I've been thinking about it for several years, and I won't regret it."
Under Flying Brother's arrangement, I stayed in a private hospital near Z city. This time it's a single room, familiar with white, familiar with the taste. I have an indissoluble bond with the hospital. In the hospital, I was still pushing my wheelchair, which attracted a lot of attention. On the first day, I noticed a woman a few years younger than me. She always looked at me secretly in the corridor. It was not pity or curiosity. I could say that I could see some kind of appreciation in her eyes. When the wheelchair passed her, I nodded to her voluntarily, and she immediately responded.
"Hello, are you here to see a doctor for your leg?" She asked.
"Well, the stump is infected, and the doctor says I'm afraid will have to amputate it again. Are you the patient's family?
"I'm here to go through the hospitalization procedures and see the doctor for myself."
"Oh, what's wrong with you?"
"There's something wrong with my feet." She said, and hurried away.
After dinner, when the doctor came to arrange the preoperative examination, I asked the doctor about the woman.
"Have you talked about it? To tell you the truth, like you, she came here to amputate her limbs." The doctor said.
"What's wrong with her feet?" I asked.
"Not sick. I should say she's like you. She let me amputate all ten toes five years ago, and this time she asked to amputate both feet at the ankle.
"She also volunteered to amputate her limbs?"
"Yes. And because she was anxious to have an operation, she went through the procedure of hospitalization today. It was an extra bed, and now she was squeezed into a room with three other patients.
Unexpectedly, I met a person who had the same desire as me, which inevitably gave rise to a feeling of regret. "If she wants, please arrange her to stay in my ward, and I want to communicate with her."
"Mrs. Xu, I'd like to thank you for her. I think she would like to move in with you."
The next morning, as soon as the nurse had drawn blood for me and left, I heard a noise. Then, accompanied by a man, the woman entered my ward carrying daily necessities. When the nurse finished making the bed, she took off her shoes and lay on the bed. I looked at the feet in her socks. They really looked short and wide. They should have no toes.
I just saluted her and left the room because I had to do all kinds of examinations. I spent the morning rushing between the laboratories and didn't return to my room until lunchtime. As soon as I entered the door, I saw her staring at me with a delicate smile on her face.
"Thank you for letting me stay. I know, this room is you paid for."
"Nothing. I heard from the doctor that you are the same person as me, so I hope to help you." I looked at her and said.
"Well, the doctor told me about you. I'm really glad to know you."
"How did you find it here?" I asked.
"The doctor is my husband's fellow countryman. They grew up wearing open crotch pants together. We trust him." She said with a laugh.
"I'm still wondering why he's willing to take over the operation. He's done it for you once."
"Well, when my husband found him, he disagreed at first, but later he couldn't resist the friendship of his childhood friends, so he did it for me."
Now that we have talked, we have nothing to hide from each other, and soon share everyone's experience with each other.
