ENTANGLED IN THE LOVE OF A DOCTOR

The Struggle is Not Over

I entered the elevator which was right in front of Kak Ranti's room. But, when I pressed the eight button, the elevator didn't move. I'm freaking out not playing, where I'm alone in this elevator.

****************

I was confused and scared, how to get out of this elevator. These eyes kept turning around looking for a way to get out, and yes I found a help button between the buttons lined with other buttons.

Then I pressed it, there was a sound from inside..

" Can I help you?" Ask.

" Yes, the elevator doesn't work" I replied..

" Yes it must use ID Card,"..

" How should it be?"

" Just press the button to open the door, he replied. More or less like that our conversation.

I immediately pressed the open button, and sure enough the door opened quickly. My heart beats unbecoming. Between fear, confusion and shame, I want to laugh too. "B*d*hnya me," I cursed myself.

I came out quickly, afraid he would get stuck. Then I walked over to return to the eighth floor. But, it had just arrived in front of the Nurse station. Arrive with Dr. Ali surprised.

"Have you listed Flasmapheresis?" Ask

"Be.. Not yet Doc, it was wrong to enter the elevator," I replied stuttering my face seemed to have met red with embarrassment.

"Where did it come from?" I pointed at the elevator..

" It's called a special elevator, mbak,"..

" Hehee, yes doc, I'm sorry, "..

Without waiting for the answer, I immediately walked halfway to the elevator that is usually used for public use.

After registering, I returned to the room and there Kak Ranti was taken to the eighth floor to do her last Flasmaferesis. It's just a minute and then we go back to the room.

Arriving in the room, the dinner menu was already in session, because it had passed the adzan magrib. I gave her the mestinon first, then prayed.

Finish the prayer we eat together, said Kak Ranti so that I eat it up. Because my appetite has dropped for a few days. Ranti is afraid I'm sick.

The next day, morning activity as usual. From waking up, bathing, and shlat. Then finish praying the attendant will bring warm water to bathe the patient. Ranti usually on the lap, but since I can go to the bathroom I take it to the bathroom to take a shower.

Because of the flu and cough, the schedule in the morning, Kak Ranti had to be on the steam, I also learned how to enter the medicine, and I helped steam myself. Oxygen Hose is also installed again, because it is really difficult to breathe the effects of flu and cough.

****************

Time passed, the sun began to sink. The activity changed, as usual, before the magrib prayer I will give the mestinon medicine first so that the work of the drug is more optimal.

But, an unexpected incident happened when Kak Ranti wanted to eat. When he wanted to feed the rice, his mouth felt stiff again, Kak Ranti forced him and when he wanted to swallow his food, his tongue could not push food. When forced to swallow, it gushed again.

I finally called Sister.

"The destinons have not been drunk yet?" Ask Sister.

"It's Sus, about fifteen minutes before the meal,"My answer.

"His heart is a lot, it seems like he has to X-ray again to make sure his lung is fine," said his caretaker, he came after the Sister informed him of Kak Ranti's condition.

Even though the day time has also been checked by his forehead, and the results are good.

Finally around the end of the matter, Ranti was taken to the Radiology Building for re-Rontgen. No need to wait for the queue, Ranti directly in the X-ray photo and the results can be taken around nine or ten pm.

Just arrived in the room, Ranti again cough cough and her phlegm like a lot of stuck in the throat. But because of the state of his cheeks stiff, brother Ranti can not pull out his phlegm. Coughing continuously and having difficulty breathing. Seeing like that I ran out to call her Sister again.

" Excuse me Sus, help my brother, his cough can not stop, keep his face stiff again can not quench his sputum," I said with a worried tone.

"Yes Ma'am for a moment" replied the Sister casually. I also returned to the room by getting Kak Ranti like out of breath, his face looks red and really worried. Because the Sister didn't come too, then I came back again, and told her that Ranti's face was really stiff.

"This must install NGT again yes Ma'am, because Mbak Ranti must take medicine," said the Sister. I just nodded in agreement.

The nurse put NGT directly through the nose, Kak Ranti's body raised up like a lot of pain. The water melted just made no sound.

Finished in pairs of NGT, Ranti in sucking her sputum using a hose, I saw it could not bear. Until finally, the breath of Kak Ranti looks regular again after a long time in suctioning her sputum.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Ranti was able to breathe well, with the help of Oxygen as well. I finally asked her sister for permission to take the X-rays..

"Sus, I live first yes, want to take the X-rays," I said.

"Emang should be taken now?"..

"Yes Sus,"..

"Oh yes, I did,".

Then I passed from the room, feeling was was leaving Kak Ranti and also a little afraid because the time has shown eleven o'clock at night. I didn't dare go into the elevator, and was forced to take the stairs.

"Where are you going, Ma'am?" asked Security at the exit.

" Want to take X-rays Sir," I replied.

"No sir, thank you,"..

"Heart in front there is a Mbak turn," he said. Sounds like it's scaring nakuti. I just nodded and left him.

Arriving at the Radiology Building, I tapped on the glass that had a little hole, because it had been told by the officer of the room earlier, if you take it through it.

Geck, tok, tok...

"Excuse me..!" My speech. Not long after, the glass lid shifted. "Yes, how can I help you?"..

"You take X-rays" I replied. I handed him the delivery paper. Then the officer took it.

After waiting for about five minutes, the officer handed over the X-ray. I also returned to the room by climbing the stairs even though it felt tired, because from the loby to the fifth floor.

Hoshs..

Hoshs..

Hosh..

I stopped for a while when I reached the fifth floor, the atmosphere was very quiet because maybe the others had already fallen asleep.

And when he arrived in the room, Ranti was already seen silent.

"Oxygen should not be broken yes mbak, if the water runs out addin again using mineral water,"

"How is Sus? My toot.

"this stays in the turn of the tube, keep filling up to this limit,"..

"Good Sus,"..

After the Sister came out, Kak Ranti's face arrived overcast,..

"Why Brother? Still hurts,"..

"Why is it like this again?" she asked, her tears melted..

"Sabar, brother, we just follow it to where. What the doctor said was the best. We don't know what" I replied.

"But I can't wait to get home, man,"..

" Same Brother, but want to be like any other. Brother needs to heal first,"..

Ranti, it's really moody tonight. Then I told him to go to sleep so that the medicine would work properly.

In the morning, Kak Ranti hot body seems to have a fever, after eating kak Ranti immediately drank paracetamol and all feeding, drinking, and administering drugs through the NGT hose.

After taking the medicine, his fever started to drop. Not long later came the ENT Doctor in the room, he was immediately shocked to see Kak Ranti had installed NGT again.

"Why install NGT again?" Ask.

"Overnight my brother couldn't swallow any more food Doc" I replied.

"Why not go to us first?" Ask.

"Because last night was an emergency Doc,"..

"If it's like this, Miss Ranti has to Fees again or swallow practice,"..

"Okay Doc" I replied.

After asking a few questions, Dr. Kristin took to do Fees..

The next day, Ranti was taken to the Poli Rawat Jalan section on the fourth floor of the ENT section.

After the preparation for Fees was ready, Ranti was told to sit in a chair facing the monitor, I can also see directly from the monitor to the right of the Doctor.

The doctor began to insert the device that already has a camera, after inserting the device. Doctors began to give food that had been divided into several textures, ranging from soft to hard. Apparently true, there is still food that goes into the airway.

After finishing Doctor Kristin explained, that Ranti can not eat through the mouth. For a while must use the NGT hose, because if forced to eat through the mouth can lung infection.

I sighed deeply again, feeling sorry for Kak Ranti's condition like that.

"Oh yes Ma'am, Ms. Ranti will be consul to Medical Rehabilitation for eating therapy yes, this is her cover letter," said Dr. Kristin, he gave a piece of paper to his introduction.

"Okay Doc, thank you very much" I said.

Time rolled quickly, it did not feel like it was late afternoon. Dr. Ali stopped by the room to tell her that tomorrow she could go home.

With the meaning of still having to run the control once a month, must go to Medical Rehabilitation to undergo therapy. And more importantly, it has to be radiation.

There is a little happiness emanating from the face of Kak Ranti, as well as me. Finally we can go home too even though we still have to control the routine.

I was confused where to go home, and finally I also told the news of this part to my sister-in-law also Bang Bagas. They'll pick me up tomorrow and discuss how they'll find a temporary place to stay to carry out that routine control. Because it seems, there will be a daily commute to the hospital, especially for radiation, only holidays on Saturdays and weeks only.

I also did not forget to tell Kak Fitri. And Sis Fitri also felt happy. In our minds, to be able to go home means to be healed. The journey is still long.
