"Grandma?" Su Ying noticed the problem. "When did your hands start shaking?"
Su Ying remembered that it was not like this when they met last time.
"I don't remember when it started. It's nothing." Grandma Gu smiled so as not to let Su Ying worry.
"Grandma, you have to tell me the details so I can know what's causing your hand tremors." Su Ying continued, "I see you're not shaking much now."
"I usually have no problem with my grip, even with a cane. It's only when I'm using chopsticks that I have trouble," said Grandma Gu. "My left hand is fine."
Su Ying looked up and asked Yang Liu, "What do you think is going on?"
Yang Liu blinked. "Old people are prone to hand tremors. It could be a precursor to Parkinson's disease, or it could be caused by poor sleep last night. There are many factors."
"What else?" Su Ying heard her say that none of these reasons matched Grandma Gu's symptoms.
Grandma Gu has very good sleep quality, and her left hand does not shake, but her left hand does.
"Teacher, I don't know." Yang Liu answered honestly.
Su Ying frowned slightly and held Mrs. Gu's hand.
"Grandma, does your family doctor know about your condition? Didn't they do any further examinations on you?"
Old Mrs. Gu is a veteran cadre who lives in a military compound. Doctors usually come to her home to check on her health once a week or two weeks. If she had such a condition, the doctor would not be unaware of it.
Old Mrs. Gu patted Su Ying's hand to comfort her.
"It's okay. It's not a regular thing. I just get numbness in my hands occasionally and can't hold things steady. I move around a bit and it's fine. As I get older, it's inevitable that I'll have some health issues. Don't worry."
Yang Liu had been thinking about the old lady's symptoms, and spoke up when she heard this.
"Grandma Gu, you can't be careless about this. This condition can be very serious for an elderly person. You need to go to the hospital for a thorough checkup."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Ying again and asked in a low voice.
"Teacher, what do you think might be the cause?"
Su Ying shook her head and said after a moment of hesitation.
"I'm not sure. Many diseases have this symptom, but thrombosis and cerebral infarction are more common in the elderly, so we really can't ignore it. Grandma, let's get ready and go to the hospital tomorrow."
When Grandma Gu heard that they had to go to the hospital, she quickly waved her hand.
"No, really, I don't have any serious problems. Don't bother others."
She actually didn't want to take up medical resources. Medical treatment at the military hospital was free for veteran cadres like them, and she didn't want to go because she thought there was no big problem.
But Su Ying was very persistent.
Seeing Su Ying's firm attitude, Gu Jinghong felt heavy in his heart. She took it so seriously, it seemed that this disease was not simple.
Chen Shuyun also understood her daughter, but she knew that Mrs. Gu did not want to pay for medical treatment, and she thought that the old lady was unwilling to go to the hospital because of the money, so she tried to dissuade her.
"Old lady, your health is the most important thing. Don't be stingy with money. See a doctor first."
Old Mrs. Gu looked at her honest face and smiled helplessly. She seemed to understand why her third child liked Su Ying so much. Both she and her daughter were very honest and kind people.
