Hearing what Yueniang said, the old lady had jumped across the river before. Lin Yuxi wanted to continue asking, but felt that privacy was involved.
"My eldest grandma was so sad. She gave birth to a son for my uncle, but she fell into the river and drowned while sailing. The eldest grandma has never accepted this fact. That year she ran to the river and cried. Everyone
I never thought she would jump into the river."
"When I was rescued, I found that my leg was injured. I was taking good care of it, but the wound was not good at all. It became more and more serious and later festered."
"Grandma was a beauty when she was young. She lost her husband and her son. She injured her leg and couldn't heal it. From then on, she didn't want to go out to meet people. She always locked herself in the house. These things
Years have passed, and we all thought that grandma had figured it out, but who knows what will happen again..."
She finally explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly. Lin Joy asked, "The injury on the leg was very serious at the time? Did you ask a doctor to see it later?"
Yueniang shook her head, "It wasn't serious at the time. Later, I asked many doctors to see it, but I didn't know what was going on. The wound just wouldn't heal, even after using medicine. Later, the grandmother didn't want anyone to come to see her.
Even after the diagnosis, the injury on the leg has not healed and is getting worse."
Lin Joy asked, "Does the elderly drink and eat a lot? Do they urinate a lot?"
Yueniang was a little embarrassed when she heard this question. There were men next to her. Seeing that they didn't say anything, she had to lower her head and said, "It's more, but I don't take care of it usually. I don't know exactly what it is."
what happened."
Lin Joy suddenly knew that this old man probably suffered from severe diabetes, but the level of diagnosis and treatment at this time was not yet able to diagnose and treat it.
If blood sugar is not well controlled, it will be difficult for the wound to heal, and it will just fester in the long run.
I don’t know anything else, but the food I eat these days is the same as them, refined rice and noodles. This is definitely not something that people with diabetes can eat. If you really have severe diabetes, it will only get worse if it goes on like this.
Lin Hexi could also understand why she didn't want to meet strangers and why she thought of drowning herself in the river.
I heard from Yueniang that when she was young, she was one of the most beautiful beauties here. It is a pity for a beauty to grow old. However, this beauty is still so lonely and smells bad. How can people accept this?
Woolen cloth?
It was already a bit late now, so Lin Joy went into the room to check on the old lady. She was originally awake and closed her eyes when she knew someone came in, but her eyelids were moving.
Lin Joy said, "Old man, I think I roughly know what happened to your leg injury. If you are willing to try again, we will cooperate well. Maybe I can cure your leg injury?"
Speaking of this, the person on the bed was obviously a little excited, and his body tensed up. Lin Yuxi continued, "I don't dare to pat my chest to guarantee that it will be fine, but I will try my best."
"If you don't even try, then how can you get better?"
She still didn't speak. Lin Yuxi said what he needed to say and turned around to go out. The old lady suddenly said, "Do you really...really think I can still be cured?"
Lin Joy turned around and came back, "You can try your best."
She was not sure whether it could be cured. In her previous life, she had seen cases of diabetic foot amputation. The old lady's legs had been rotten for so long, and she didn't know if they could be cured little by little.
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to believe me, I will try my best to cure you, even if there is only a little hope."
The old lady's eyes were a little red, and after a while she said, "Then you can cure it. I'll admit it if it can't be cured."
She still wants to get better, and she still wants to go out for a walk like before. She should live happily even if she is alone, but she smells bad and everyone avoids her. She can no longer let herself be disliked by others.
.
Lin Yuxi is very happy, as long as she is willing, it will be fine, otherwise how to cure it?
She hurried back to the house to get her medicine basket. As expected, there was already a blood glucose meter and test strips in it, but nothing else.
Lin Xixi took the medicine basket to the old lady's room and measured her blood sugar. It was unexpectedly undetectable. It was so high that it was already off the charts.
This also verified her suspicion that she did have diabetes, so the wound never healed.
Lin Xixi asked about her daily living habits again. She had some money of her own and gave it to her nephew's family, who was responsible for her food, clothing, housing and transportation.
He usually eats and drinks well and takes good care of himself. Everything else is fine, but the wound on his leg is too painful.
She usually eats and drinks a lot, but in the past few years, she has eaten well and lost weight. Her nephew's family felt that they were ashamed of her, and they tried to find ways to make delicious food for her.
After Lin Yuxi asked, he determined the cause of the ulceration. Severe diabetes cannot be treated like this, but those who don't know are not guilty, and people are also filial.
When she opened the basket again, she already had diabetes medicine, including several blood sugar control medicines for the old lady's condition, as well as a long-acting insulin and a short-acting insulin.
Lin Xixi gave the old lady medicine, "Your wound is not healing. That's because there is something wrong with your body. The sugar content in your blood is too high, which prevents the wound from healing. Over time, it begins to fester."
"If you want to heal your injury, you need to control your sugar intake. From today on, you will slowly reduce your consumption of refined rice and noodles. You will also no longer eat all kinds of broth. You should eat mainly vegetables every day. I will write specific recipes to take care of you.
people."
"It just doesn't taste that good. The clear soup is watery, but if you want to heal your injuries, you must eat these."
The old lady nodded immediately, "Okay, I will listen to you. As long as you can get better, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Lin Hexi believed this. The old lady was already tortured to the point of being injured by her leg.
There are already some debridement items in the basket. The wound on the leg cannot be healed like this. While using the medicine, you need to debridement and change the dressing every day, and remove the slough bit by bit, so that the wound will heal slowly.
It was already very late today and the visibility was not good, so Lin Yuxi planned to talk tomorrow.
She also explained how to use Yueniang's medicines. Insulin needs to be injected directly under the skin. Watching her stab the old lady's belly with a needle, Yueniang was so scared that she closed her eyes.
Lin Joy said, "If you are afraid, you can find someone else. Your grandma will use these drugs for a long time in the future."
Yueniang then opened her eyes and said quickly, "I'm not afraid, I just wasn't used to it."
After injecting insulin for a period of time and then adjusting it to oral medicine, Lin Yuxi unpacked the pills and put them in paper bags and gave them to them, asking Yueniang to put them away before going back to the house to rest.
