We need to be calm in the face of life's changes

2021-12-09 Hits:

A friend had an accident and had to have his right calf amputated. Although I knew her as a sunny person, I was still worried that she could not survive such a life change. Before visiting her in the hospital, I had prepared a lot of words and phrases to practice repeatedly in order to comfort her. However, when I got to the ward, I saw her lying in bed with nothing to do, her hair well done, wearing earrings, necklaces, rings, and a faint smell of jasmine perfume. She was wearing a mask, listening to music and reading fashion magazines. Unlike other patients who wore large hospital gowns, she was dressed in fashionable flounces for home use. But for the special circumstances of the ward and the loss of her right leg, she was in the same state as she would be on holiday.

 

 

 

As we chatted, two staff members who identified themselves as Disan Prosthetics Technologies arrived and I politely asked them out. But my friend stopped me. She listened carefully to the Disan prosthetics technician about all aspects of the introduction of prosthetics, and finally, very seriously asked: "after the prosthetic can wear high heels?" The prosthetics company was momentarily perplexed by the question, but assured his friend, "Well... "Of course they can. We do not recommend wearing high heels for safety reasons, but if you have been trained by a professional prosthesis technician, you can still wear high heels if it is safe."

Her friend was so pleased that she happily left her business card for Disan prosthesis. I know that my friend is a person who "give me beauty or give me death", but being in the ward for treatment, she still thinks about how to continue to "flatter herself" after discharge, which really makes people feel that this friend is "unusual". However, seeing her in this state, I felt that I had prepared a lot of sentences are not useful at all. I believe my friend can survive this disaster in life.

 

 

 

Sure enough, a month later, my friend was discharged from hospital. Some time later, she posted a news feed "announcing" that she was fitted with a prosthetic leg. Not long after that, she posted a video of her walking in high heels. I couldn't help admiring my friend's determination to love beauty. Again after six months, I met a friend, she is a party taking charge of the unit, radiant beneath her feet stepped on it is a pair of delicate high-heeled shoes, leisurely walk onto the stage, if not informed in advance, nobody knew she had undergone a major change in life, elegant high-heeled shoes on in the assembly of artificial limbs!

My friend, who has a prosthetic leg but still remembers wearing high heels, reminds me of a former colleague who took the opposite path in the face of the same physical discomfort. At that time, he suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and went to the hospital for examination. The hospital told him that his body was normal, and analyzed that it was caused by poor ventilation in his daily environment. When he told us so, we immediately realized that the factory next door was demolishing several old buildings for reconstruction. In order to prevent dust invasion, the Windows of our office adjacent to the factory area were closed for most of that month, and several colleagues also felt a little discomfort. Once those days were over, it was pretty much back to normal.

 

 

 

However, the colleague did not believe the result of the examination, and went to the city hospital for a comprehensive examination, but the result was still healthy. But he always thought he was sick, do not give up and ran to the provincial capital to do a comprehensive examination, the result is still healthy. In the hospital to do the size of the examination he is still worried about the body sick, incredibly want to go to Beijing for examination. In this way, he was unhappy all day, thinking, later, the chest of shortness of breath disappeared, but he caused insomnia because of overthinking. Physical condition from this sharp turn down, increasingly thin, weight loss of more than 30 catties, demoralized, had to leave for a long time to accept treatment. It took more than a year to adjust.

Now, every time he saw his old colleagues, he was extremely regretful that he had not listened to everyone's comfort and that he had been ill without illness. It was really more than worth the gain.

In the long road of life, there will always be various, or big or small life changes. At this time need to be calm, only calmness, calm response, positive and optimistic to face the sudden situation, to smile to life. As long as we bravely open our hands to embrace the sunshine, nothing can stop us from yearning for warmth!
