“In outline, Bu Liani's state is actually quite good. The only problem is bleeding in the head. And it needs further handling.”
Lydia blinked several times hearing the doctor's statement. He said his mother's condition was pretty good, but why did it say bleeding in the head? Isn't that a very dangerous thing?
Looking at Lydia's confused face, the doctor, who is thought to be in her early 40s, explained further. He said the location of the bleeding was some distance from the brain. Precisely located closer to the skull bone and the bleeding is not too much, but that does not mean it can be left. Fear of blood clots forming can suppress the brain and cause other diseases.
The point is Liani will be operated on after her condition is more stable. And for the first step he was only given drugs first. At most another week his condition will be checked first, after ready for surgery will be done.
“What does that mean Mama's head will be bald?” asked Liani who was aware and had heard the doctor's explanation.
“Mama don't think about appearance. The important thing is to heal first,” hardik Kenzo who looked from behind the laptop.
“Kenzo's right, Ma. After all, their doctor said they would only make a small hole, ” Lydia who sat at the end of the bed, chimed in while grimacing. He could not imagine the mother's head would be hollow.
“So much is not the operation?” tanya Liani frowned.
Anyone would shudder when someone says they're going to hole your skull bones and draw blood to clot there. That's too horrible to imagine. And again what kind of bones want to be hollowed out? Time to be drilled.
“Operation don't imagine, Mom. The operation is all must be terrible. His name is also our body split,” timpal patient in bed next door.
Lydia only smiled in return, while Liani chimed in with another joke. This is what Lydia dislikes from rooms inhabited by more than one person. But what else? The maximum ability is only a room with two people, it was actually forced.
BPJS Liani was only second class, but the room was full. Be Lydia takes first class rooms, of course with additional costs that seem to be a lot. Especially if the operation is later.
“Use BPJS only, Mom. Operation in the head must have cost a lot,” babble mom who is in the next bed.
“The problem does not know whether it is covered or not, ma'am. I temporarily find out first,” replied Lydia as decently as possible.
“Kak. Not go home first? Tomorrow has to go to work, right?” ask Kenzo before you speak again. He knows his brother does not like the kepo people, especially those who are not known.
“Iya, Son. You go home first. Your boss is fierce,” Liani immediately agreed.
“Where does it work?” ask Mother Kepo.
“Manufacturing company, Mom,” Lydia replied still polite, but reluctant to mention the name of her company. After that he immediately resigned, leaving Kenzo for the night.
Before actually returning home, Lydia stopped at the hospital administration. The intention is to find out the cost of operations and whether BPJS cover or not.
Unfortunately, there are no more people in the administration. Fortunately, there was a nurse who happened to pass by and could be questioned. The reply of the perawati instantly made Lydia's bones ache all.
“If the operation due to accident is as far as I know not covered. And for neurosurgery in the skull, the range I do not know anyway. But it looks like it's over 50 million.”
Real nice. His debt in Reino has not been paid off and now he has to find tens of millions more for operating expenses. Not yet with the cost of the difference in rooms that may also not be a little. Especially if the recovery is long.
Now Lydia's head seems to be about to explode. How could he raise that kind of money in such a short period of time? He has absolutely no solution.
[Vanessa Fussy: How's Aunt Liani? Already conscious?]
[Lydia Rata: He's conscious, but there's bleeding in his head. He said he had to have surgery and it was very expensive.]
[Erika Bego: How expensive is it? I still have a little stash. You can borrow it if you want.]
[Crazy Love: Do you want to check the prices of other hospitals? Who knows if it is cheaper.]
The idea of Love is not bad, but it will take more time. The doctor said his mother could not be left for too long. Lydia works and Kenzo goes to college. Who will go looking.
[Lydia Flat: Still expensive, Ta. It is not covered by BPJS. Not if the recovery is long.]
[Lydia Rata: And to move hospitals also seems difficult.]
[Erika Bego: Now I have 100. I just want to transfer it.]
[Lydia Rata: No need, Ka. I know you need it too.]
“Mbak, has arrived,” online taxi drivers he boarded, aware of Lydia more daydreaming.
“Oh, yes thanks, Mr.” Lydia went down immediately because the cost was already paid through the application.
The skinny woman entered her house and immediately locked the fence and the door of the house. Lydia also made sure all the windows were tightly shut, after which of course Lydia walked into her room. It was late and he needed rest.
A tired look was clearly visible on Lydia's face. I want to shower and sleep, but I can't. He still felt uneasy at the thought of the expenses he might incur.
Erika's offer was tempting, but she couldn't take it either. His friend was also in a bad state. 100 Million savings are definitely needed just in case.
“Do I just do part-time work? But what?” lydia's murmuring looks really frustrating.
Feeling her mind saturated, Lydia finally decided to go take a bath. And because he felt the need to take a warm bath, he cooked a full pot of hot water. That needs to be done because there is no heating in their home. Even with only one air conditioner, divided into two rooms.
Lydia reached into the pocket of cloth pants she was using today. He wanted to empty his bag before he put it in the laundry basket. Something caught Lydia's attention.
A thick piece of paper that had been scraped down from Lydia's pouch. It could have been just plain trash, but he double-checked before throwing it away. Apparently it was a greeting card from the giant bouquet of roses he had rejected earlier.
“I love you. So let’s have ***,” Lydia reread the writing on the crumpled paper. Not just once, but many times.
Even those words still kept repeating in his head, even until Lydia finished her bath. The paper, which was originally placed on the nightstand, is now in the thin hands of Lydia. He re-permeated the sentence written there and thought about Reino's offer.
Lydia breathed a tired breath. Should he accept Reino's offer and ask for additional rewards?
