One morning a few days ago, when I was brushing my teeth, I suddenly found that I had a strange disease. When I closed my mouth and gargled, no matter how the corner of my left mouth was closed, it was of no avail. It was as if I had a funnel in one night, and the water in my mouth flowed out.
I didn't take it to heart at first, but the next day, I found that the corner of my left eye began to tighten, and my mouth was out of place when I spoke. I obviously felt powerless and abnormal. I asked my female colleagues at work, what's wrong with me? After my colleague looked at me carefully, he was surprised and said, "your mouth and nose are crooked. I don't know yet. Go to the hospital and see a doctor." I was skeptical and came to the city hospital in trepidation. The doctor told me that I was suffering from left facial paralysis, which is what people often call "cable wind"! How could a good face get this kind of disease? I was puzzled, but I had to face the reality.
The doctor said: this disease is not terrible, some children just a few years old will get this disease, the general cause of adult illness is caused by long-term mental anxiety or bad mood, as long as early detection and early treatment, will soon be cured. A few words immediately calmed my nervous mood. The doctor advised me to hang up the bottle for a few days first, and then cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate the brain nerves. A week later, I will adopt acupuncture therapy, supplemented by electrotherapy, and take a step-by-step multi-pronged approach, requiring my full cooperation. I promised and put it into practice unconditionally. Said that, but the virus is not like people have a strong human touch, no matter how we work together to treat, it is still arrogant and capricious development, my left eye curtain can no longer be closed alone, the left face "bang" kept jumping, as if to tear my face open, the mouth and nose have been seriously skewed, has endangered eating and speaking, when talking, the mouth can no longer listen. If there is a slight carelessness in eating, the food will be stuck in it and cannot be rolled over, so it can only be squeezed out with both hands.
After a few days of careful treatment, I still found no good signs and began to lose my mind and get restless. The doctor told me that there is a characteristic of this cause: no matter how it is treated in the first seven days, it will not have an obvious inhibitory effect. It will have a latent period of one week, just like the strong earthquake in Nepal. Although the major earthquake has passed, aftershocks of magnitude 6 or 7 will still occur from time to time, and it will take a buffer process to gradually release the accumulated energy after the last week. Only then can the disease gradually improve.
According to the doctor's advice, the patient should always be on guard against the wind and talk less, so when I went out, I was careful and armed, with two huge masks on my mouth, covering almost the whole face, showing only two black eyes. During this period, I was most afraid of seeing acquaintances in the street. I was embarrassed if I didn't say hello. I was afraid of jokes, and I was afraid of seeing the wind. I was really unable to hide, so I made a few strokes with my hands, which was regarded as a greeting to others. My family hurriedly acted as an "interpreter" to help me out, which made everyone laugh. In order to amuse everyone, I said "ah" with my hands, which attracted many passers-by to stop and watch, as if watching a watermelon scene, followed by bursts of laughter.
In this case, I get an inspiration, in life, I am a mirror, you laugh at it, you laugh at others, give others more happiness, that is, give yourself more splendor! As the saying goes, give people roses, leave the fragrance of the hand, I think this is probably the truth!
After several days of professional treatment, the virus that attacked my face did not seem to stop at all. The virus still broke out unscrupulously on my face. In order not to worry my family and the old mother in the country, I will carefully prepare a set of white lies.
In general, there are no special circumstances. I go back to my hometown once a week to visit my family and the elderly, and then take a walk around the fields and touch the green crops. I can put aside all kinds of troubles and work pressure. I can quietly feel the breathing and growth of the crops and wander through them. I can't help but marvel at how beautiful nature is. Life is so poetic!
I'm sure I won't be able to go back this week. If I don't tell my mother, it will make her more worried about me. So I called my mother and told her that there was something wrong with my mouth. The doctor said it was all right and told me to hang up the needle for a few days in a row. Mother said, then don't come back, wait until you are in good health, anyway, there is nothing at home, everything is fine, first put aside the public work for a while, then take a good rest at home to recuperate, take a rest to grind the sickle, and cut a lot of wheat. But before night, my mother couldn't use her cell phone, so she nagged me and asked my father to call me and ask me if I had taken any medicine. Several times before hanging up the phone, I told my wife again and again to apply a hot towel on my face for fear that we would forget it. If I applied it for a while sooner or later, the curative effect would be better. In the next few days, my mother asked my father to call me from time to time and asked me how my condition was. Don't forget to take your medicine. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! I am no longer the child of the past, already full of children and grandchildren, become a father, the old mother's heart is still thinking about me, which can not help but make me feel guilty and sad.
My sister also called and said that my mother couldn't sleep. She wanted to lose a soul in her head. She shouted for her sister to bring her to see me every day. I strongly advised them not to come. Why should I run around when I went back after a few days when I was well? The next day, as soon as I convinced my good mother, my sister said that she found a pair of Monopterus Albus blood at home and asked someone to bring it to me, saying that Monopterus Albus blood has a unique effect in treating nerve paralysis. My lover suddenly realized and hurriedly said that everything could be bought in the city. Don't bring it so far from home. There are plenty of eels here. It's fair to say that I didn't argue with my sister in the end.
At the same time of acupuncture, the doctor fully affirmed the application of this local prescription, which strengthened my confidence in using the local prescription. I am afraid of acupuncture. Whenever I see slender silver needles, golden and cold, I shudder. I lie in bed, close my eyes and clench my teeth. I have the feeling of "the strong man will never return". In order to cure the disease as soon as possible, I took everything out. When the silver needle pierced my flesh, I held my breath, my legs began to tremble, my heart beat faster, my fists clenched, and my mind suddenly went blank. I said go ahead, said the doctor. Does it hurt? I said it didn't hurt. The doctor said that all twelve silver needles had been tied up. At this time, I was still in the dark, I secretly amazed at the doctor's superb skills, every time unwittingly enjoy the acupuncture treatment process.
I ran between my home and the public hospital every day, receiving acupuncture treatment. Later, I learned that the doctor in the white coat was surnamed Wang. He was very kind, skilled and virtuous, and he was the authority on physiotherapy in this hospital. If you do not personally accept his treatment, it is difficult to appreciate his wonderful needle stunt, a silver needle waving back and forth in his hand, freely, his hand is very light, like a woman, piercing into the skin for a moment, if you do not deliberately think about it, you are absolutely unaware; his hand is very accurate, one step in place, the needle in his hand, steadily into the nerve acupoint.
After the meticulous treatment of Dr. Wang in the public hospital, my nose and mouth began to return slowly, my left eye was able to close freely, and my meal was no longer stuck. I began to take off that pair of face masks. I no longer had to feel scared and uneasy for fear of making a fool of myself. I finally happily revealed the true face of the past!
After coming out of this disease, for the rest of my life, I suddenly felt that health is more important than anything else. A healthy life is really good. If I choose happiness among the many options in life, I will not hesitate to choose the first choice: health!
