Yesterday, I had a phone call with a doctor from the Eighth Hospital and asked about the long-term medication my father needs to take and the side effects. It is one thing to ask about AI. It is also necessary to ask the doctor about the side effects of these drugs.
There are basically six types of medicines that are currently taken long-term (if there are no obvious side effects, they can be taken for life): 1. Rivaroxaban (anticoagulation) (This drug is probably the cause of my father’s swollen hands. It will subside after three or four days of stopping. You need to be careful with this drug) 2. Taijia (anti-platelet aggregation) 3. Xin Ke Lai (Nerve Nutrition) 4. Atorvastatin calcium tablets (lowering lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis) 5. Jesartan (lowers blood pressure and improves cardiac function in patients with heart failure) 6. Folic acid tablets (reduces homocysteine levels)
The doctor said that rivaroxaban and atorva should be reviewed after taking two or three months to check for side effects. She also said that the probability of serious side effects is only a few thousandths. In China, medical standards require review, but in Europe, review is not done. I tentatively believe that review is theoretically required.
I originally thought that I should continue to take butyropeptide, but after I found out that the effect of taking it was obvious within three months after I got sick, there was no obvious effect after that, so I stopped taking it.
Today I basically spent the whole day in a book cafe. In addition to eating, I went to the Dali Sheet Factory Art District after dinner. There are some small specialty shops and occasional exhibitions. They are spontaneous. The content displayed is all unique creativity and literature. It is also a painstaking effort to add a little light to the boring life. Yes, I have a positive attitude towards life.
When I went back in the evening, I went to the previous inn to collect clothes. The little girl at the front desk saw me coming again, said hello, and ran out to ask me if I wanted to keep a cat. This sudden question was interesting, asking what the situation was. The cat she raised was about to give birth, and she wanted to give the kittens away. I said it was simple, just send out the little red book. There are many people raising pets in Dali, but she said no, there are many people who abuse cats now, and they take it for fun, and they don’t dare to give it away casually. She thought I was a very nice person, and I laughed. I was about to say, you can just give it away now. , I do like cats, I only raised a cat once, two months ago, and I cried a lot when I was forced to give it away. I was probably 9 or 10 years old when I was in elementary school. Now I often travel, and cats are troublesome when I go out. Otherwise, I will want to keep cats, dogs, parrots, fish, flowers and plants. Maybe in the future. After hearing this, the little girl said helplessly, okay, and then said to ask your friends if they want anything. I said, I have no friends.
The recent depression is still happening as usual, coming regularly, like a woman’s period. I call it a psychological aunt. People’s energy is very low. When they lie in bed at night, they are still inexplicably anxious and irritable. There is no dopamine in the brain. The confrontation process is like a war that you know you can’t win. You have no other choice but to fight.
I talked to Manager Ding of the nursing home on WeChat this morning. She was given the list of prescriptions, and my father’s social security card and ID card are kept in the cabinet in his room. He also asked the out-of-town nurse to add me on WeChat so that he can contact me directly if he has any questions at the hospital. She said that she arranged for a nurse to dispense the medicine. She was a nurse in the nursing department and was familiar with going to the hospital. The nurse charged 40 yuan an hour for dispensing the medicine, plus taxi fares were reimbursed.
I went to the library this morning and saw a man who looked very much like an old friend of mine, Lao Liu, but younger than him, a younger version of Lao Liu. I met Lao Liu on the road more than ten years ago. Lao Liu was a strange man who went his own way and lived a haphazard life without following the rules. He had zero worldly ambitions and finally settled in Mount Emei in poverty. What surprised me was that he actually got married and had a family. People who knew him were also shocked when they heard the news. Life after marriage must have been difficult, and he was living a life of random dealings. A while ago, I sent him a WeChat message, and found that his WeChat avatar was gone and he didn’t reply to messages. I felt that the situation was not very good. The person I saw in the library today not only looks a bit like him, but also has a similar look and look. He seems to be a loner, going his own way, and wandering around aimlessly. He should come here often to kill time, and maybe he is continuing the life of another old Liu.
At noon, I went to the Dali Middle School cafeteria for dinner. I felt good about yesterday’s meal. If you don’t have an appetite, you can eat here for about 10 yuan. If you have an appetite, go to Vegetarian Ark for 30 yuan vegetarian buffet, or Huanque’s 38 yuan brunch. In the evening, you can have a snack or Mangshi ox rice noodles, which cost more than ten yuan.
After lunch, I passed by the Dafang Bookstore on Foreigner Street next to it. There is a book bar on the second floor. The environment is good. The second floor has a wide view, suitable music, and few people. There were many people passing by before and the seats were full. So I went up to order a drink and took a seat, turned on the computer and wrote the above things.
This will make you feel a little more comfortable. To deal with this devil, you need internal willpower and external natural environment to attack together.
Today’s treasure place, Dafang Book Bar, changes place every day.
