China News Service reporter Liang Ting Yang Chengchen
When returning home from the rehabilitation post, the frequency of Shu Bangwei's cooking has increased significantly. With his hands-on sense of practicality, he gradually recovered his "old days."
On February 13th, Shu Bangwei developed fever and diarrhea symptoms. A few days later, the nucleic acid test was positive; on the 18th, he was admitted to Chaokou Fangcai Hospital.
Just after entering the shelter, some patients were affected by anxiety and complaints. The hospital psychological counseling team intervened to appease everyone's emotions. In order to get home soon, Shu Bangwei began to adjust his mind. After treatment, on March 4th, Shu Bangwei transferred to the rehabilitation station for isolation and observation; two weeks later, he finally waited for the long-awaited return date.
The feeling of going home is familiar, and the only thing that makes him uncomfortable is the community's inquiry phone. He admitted that "the environment has been closed for a long time, people are a little sensitive." Cooking for his family, playing games, and chatting with friends, he strives to find his original life, and also cherishes these hard-won "ordinary".
Shu Bangwei's doctor-patient group in the cabin hospital that he joined was still active today. Some people expressed depression, some shared daily life, and some asked for help ... He said that everyone is trying to bring life back to the past, although more or less facing some obstacles. In his view, the common experience allows everyone to better understand each other, support each other, and warm up together.
After being discharged from the hospital for more than two months, in addition to the necessary outings such as dumping garbage and taking express delivery, the 63-year-old Xiong Youfu (pseudonym) rarely went downstairs. His experience of "fighting against death" at the Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan made him more cherish his health and his company with his family.
At home, I spend most of my time reading and resting. He often misses the days of walking in the park and meeting old friends. Even so, such thoughts were eventually dispelled by "worry about causing trouble to others." He said that occasionally when he came downstairs and met old acquaintances, he just waved his hands far and greeted him.
He has always been concerned about the situation of the epidemic and learned that the hospital called on the rehabilitation patients to donate plasma. He also wanted to do his best, but he could only do so because his age did not meet the conditions. "Cooperating with community management to reduce unnecessary outings is also a contribution." He said.
As far as Cheng Jinsong's family is concerned, this epidemic has caused them to encounter "a magical and dramatic experience". On January 23, learning that the city was about to be closed, Cheng Jinsong went out to shop for food. Unexpectedly, fever on the 25th and continued for 3 days. Two days later, his wife also had fever symptoms; the two daughters also had fevers in early February.
The husband and wife were sent to the cabins of Wuchang and Hanyang on February 5th and 12th respectively. The daughters began medical observation in the isolation hotel on the 14th. On the evening of the 9th, due to aggravation of symptoms, Cheng Jinsong was transferred to the East Campus of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, where he received intensive care patients. After 43 days, Cheng Jinsong reached the discharge standard and was transferred to an isolated hotel for observation. The wife and daughter with mild symptoms returned home at the end of February and the beginning of March.
The family was finally reunited on April 5. In an interview with a China News Agency reporter, Cheng Jinsong said that the doctor's meticulous care, diagnosis and treatment allowed him to recover smoothly. "Recall now, it should be the morning that I went to the vegetable farm to buy the food." Cheng Jinsong regretted the original intention. "The virus was brought home by me. I feel sorry for the three of them."
The youngest daughter Cheng Yuchen said: "We are actually very lucky and at least reunited. I feel like I have grown up."
Xiao Jinsong, president of the Hubei Psychological Counselors Association and chief physician of the Department of Neurology, Wuhan University Central South Hospital, said that after the epidemic, some people feel guilty about their families and can release emotions through interaction with family members, such as contributing to the family after resuming work Income; in daily life, "there is a part of the heat and a part of the light". Doing what you can do for everyone also helps relieve guilt.
In response to the "heart palpitations" psychology of some patients, he suggested maintaining proper exercise at home, seeking psychological assistance if necessary, and conducting professional psychological assessments.
Xiao Jinsong said that the Lihan Passage is about to be "unblocked", but it still takes time for people to "unblock" the "psychological defense", and rehabilitation patients are still a group that needs attention. (Finish)
