Chapter 115 [Additional] Memory Loss, Alzheimer's Disease
Several people returned to the house and sat down.
Commander He sat down next to Mrs. He. Although he said nothing, the heavy emotions in his heart were silently revealed.
Chu Yue sat on the other side of Mrs. He. Lu Yuanbao didn't know what had happened, but he just felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and then he followed Chu Yue silently.
Chu Yue turned around and said to Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, go get your notebook and pencil for practicing writing."
"good."
Lu Yuanbao nodded and immediately went to his small room.
Due to his own special reasons, Lu Zhanlin stood slightly behind the crowd, his expression solemn and worried. Over the years, Mrs. He had cared about him more than his own family, and he did not want anything to happen to Mrs. He.
Before formally taking the pulse, Chu Yue first performed a thorough inspection, listening, questioning and palpation.
She checked Mrs. He's complexion, tongue coating, and eyes, and asked, "Has your eyesight deteriorated significantly recently?"
"A little. Sometimes, even with the lights on, I can't see clearly." Mrs. He glanced at her side before speaking again to Chu Yue. "At first, I thought it was presbyopia. After all, at my age, it's normal for my eyesight to deteriorate. People always age. But sometimes, I can see clearly."
Sometimes it is clear, sometimes it is not clear. This is definitely not a simple vision problem.
Mrs. He herself was also aware of this.
When Commander He heard this, he immediately became anxious and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you mention this before?"
"These are trivial matters. You are so busy with your daily life that they are not worth mentioning."
Mrs. He tried to comfort Commander He with words, but in Commander He's eyes, anything related to his wife could never be a small matter.
It was precisely because of Commander He's attention that Mrs. He developed the habit of making light of small matters and not saying anything, because she didn't want Commander He to be too nervous.
Seeing Commander He getting anxious after knowing the truth, Mrs. He patted his knee gently and said with a smile, "When you had your old cold legs, you didn't tell me anything."
They are such a loving couple, no one says anything bad about the other, they both put each other first in their hearts.
Chu Yue: How come you ate a dozen pieces of dog food before even starting the consultation?
Mrs. He shut up Commander He with one word and comforted him, "Ayue is examining me now. Please stop interrupting and listen quietly. Don't disturb the doctor."
Commander He was like a lion with its fur standing on end, and he surrendered forcefully.
"Ayue, please continue." Mrs. He knew that she might be sick, but her smile was still kind and loving.
Chu Yue continued to ask, "How's your memory lately? Do you suddenly forget something?"
"It happens sometimes. I'm clearly doing something, but after a while I forget it. But I'm usually at home and there's nothing important to do, so this problem is not a big deal."
Mrs. He could comfort herself that it was not a big deal, but everyone around her knew that this was not a good thing.
Lu Yuanbao had already come out with a pencil and a notebook. Chu Yue placed the things on the coffee table. "Yuanbao just taught me the Eight-Section Brocade. The first move of the Eight-Section Brocade is called Shaking the Head and Wagging the Tail to Remove Heart Fire. You've just learned it several times. Do you remember the specific moves? Can you draw it?"
"Let me try..."
As she spoke, Mrs. He picked up the pencil, placed it on the white paper, and then - stopped, no longer moving.
She frowned slightly as she tried to recall the past, but for some reason, she only remembered that she had been exercising and could not recall any of the movements.
It's a blank... a blank in memory...
Commander He was anxiously trying to open his mouth to remind him, but his first move was to raise his hand! Raise your hand!
This heart-wrenching silence lasted for a very long time, so long that it made people's heartbeats become irregular.
Finally, Chu Yue reached out, gently held Mrs. He's hand, pulled out the pencil and put it down.
"It doesn't matter if you forget. We can learn again later. Let's continue taking the pulse."
Chu Yue pulled up Mrs. He's sleeve and placed her fingers on the place where her pulse was beating.
When taking a pulse, quietness is most needed.
Chu Yue closed her eyes and concentrated on it. Lu Zhanlin and General He held their breath and even reduced their breathing to the lowest level.
Tick-tick...tick-tick...tick-tick...
Time passes slowly.
Chu Yue closed her eyes and felt the beating of her pulse. The sensation on her fingertips seemed to follow the meridians and penetrate into Mrs. He's limbs and bones, as well as deep into her brain.
a long time.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Chu Yue finally opened her eyes.
Commander He could no longer contain his anxiety and immediately asked, "How is it? Is he really sick? What is the illness? Is it serious?"
Mrs. He soothed her softly, "Changzheng, don't be anxious. Don't put so much pressure on Ah Yue. Let her talk slowly."
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the beginning of the new year. However, it is definitely not a happy thing for a couple who have been together for decades to know such news at this time.
However, Mrs. He's condition was not even detected during the hospital's semiannual physical examination. Instead, Chu Yue noticed the early signs. The earlier it is discovered and treated, the better.
After a brief silence, Chu Yue finally said, "It's Alzheimer's disease."
Ah what?
What?
Why is it still a foreign name?
Chu Yue met the confused looks of the four people around her for a moment.
She thought for a moment and then changed her tone. "Things like vision loss, poor memory, frequent forgetfulness, and possibly some stereotyped behaviors like hiding and searching for things are all early signs of the disease. If it worsens, it could very well turn into Alzheimer's disease."
"Impossible! Impossible! Alzheimer's disease usually occurs in people in their eighties or nineties. Yulan is only in her early sixties. How could she have Alzheimer's disease at such a young age?"
Magnolia is Mrs. He’s maiden name. Now the only person who calls her that is Commander He.
Compared to Commander He's anxious rebuttal, Mrs. He's calmness, which she had maintained all along, was broken, and she revealed a sense of nervousness.
Because when Chu Yue mentioned "hiding things, finding things", she subconsciously reached out and touched her pocket, the wallet.
On several occasions, her wallet was clearly on her, but she searched the whole house for it.
Chu Yue didn't ask her these questions, but they came true.
"Commander He, don't get excited yet. Listen to me. Mrs. He's condition is still in the early stages. We discovered it early, so we can intervene with treatment. If treated well, the symptoms will remain at the early stages for decades to come and will not worsen."
After Chu Yue's calm analysis, Commander He slowly calmed down.
Still worried, Commander He looked at Chu Yue and asked in a deep voice, "Girl, since you can diagnose Yulan's condition, you must know how to treat it, right?"
Right...
Commander He seemed to have aged ten years overnight, with unprecedented expectation flashing in his eyes as he looked at Chu Yue alone.
