The Struggle of a Husband
Symptom
Mica who was sitting quietly in her great chair let out a long sigh. He saw clearly the anger on the face of Amri, who was sitting while stomping his legs and moving his fingers over his thighs.
Amri who was still sitting restlessly asked. "So,.. How's my wife, Mic?"
"During this time, your wife often experienced something like this?" Mica's narrowed eyes filled with question marks to Amri.
And Amri answered. "I don't know, Mic. Because as long as my wife continues her studies at LN. He never complained or discussed his health. All I know is that my wife is fine and there have been no complaints of any illness so far. But I had heard from Ezel, that lately my wife often experience dizziness, nausea, vomiting and decreased appetite."
"Your wife shows no signs that she is ill. Maybe think your wife or family just catch a cold or soy sauce. But because.......," Mica's not done talking Amri has cut off the talk Mica said.
"Because of what Mic, answer! Please speak. What facts do you know. I don't want any misunderstanding between us. It concerns our future. So please speak, Mic." With Amri's voice so desperate, Mica could not bear to say it. But this is what Amri should know.
"So, are you ready to listen to my explanation." Mica asked with a heavy sigh and thought of a way, how to get medical results so as not to hurt Amri's feelings.
"My God is ready!" With a single breath Amri convinced himself. That he was ready to endure whatever was going on with his wife.
"Previously sorry, this is just a medical estimate. The rest of his power. And please listen carefully to my words." Mica.
"God willing I am ready!" Amri replied firmly.
"So your wife is experiencing some kind of nausea, vomiting, dizziness and lack of appetite, what else looks pale. Most likely your wife is experiencing symptoms of chronic kidney failure," Mica paused her words and observed Amri's facial features that were shocked and tense when she heard her words. Then continue his words with one breath.
"Maybe your wife reaches from the morning, so she has a slow decline in kidney function and causes her to faint. In the early stages usually symptoms can not be felt clearly, because the decline in kidney function can still be tolerated by the body. But you need to know, more severe symptoms begin to feel clearly when the decline in kidney function has entered an advanced stage. Like your wife now."
Amri was shocked to hear the fact that his wife was experiencing symptoms of kidney failure and what to do.
"Where should I be, Mic?" Amri asked with trembling lips."
"You take it easy, we will do everything we can to treat it. Because medically, the diagnosis is determined after knowing the symptoms, patient and family history of the disease. As well as doing a physical examination, to ensure the condition of the patient's kidneys, I need to perform several tests to assess kidney function and detect kidney damage. Such tests include; urine tests, blood tests, scans(USG, MRI and CT scan)."
"If that's the best please do, Mic. But please don't tell my wife about this." Amri pleads with Mica to keep it a secret.
"Loh.... why? Your wife should know about her body." Mica answered confusedly.
"Please don't, I'm afraid that later Sellyn will feel useless as a wife. I know how she feels, what else after knowing if she has an abnormal body condition sure Slyn will fall and make her condition weaker and decrease." Amri tries to ask for understanding from Mica, to help keep it a secret.
Mica finally agreed to Amri's request on condition. If the wife experiences this again. Amri must be ready to find a kidney donor for his wife, in order to undergo surgery and normal again even though not 100 percent. Amri agreed to the agreement. And ready to find anyone who wants to donate his kidney to his wife.
"Well, I promise I'll keep it a secret on condition. You immediately look for a donor, when your wife's kidney is no longer functioning. Because it's for the good of your wife and there's no way you'd be if your wife didn't know about it, what else to do with the surgery." Tukas Mica told me.
"Thank you very much, Mic for the cooperation." Amri nodded in understanding and smiled bitterly.
Amri must be strong, accept and feel the bitterness in the household that has just been in his path. Not even a day, it can be said only a matter of hours but he has been tested with the arrival of trials that come to befall the wife.
"But you have to take care of your wife's lifestyle. And try to keep your wife from getting too tired." Mica gives advice and gives advice.
"Which kind of lifestyle, Mic means?" Asked Amri who did not understand the direction of Mica's conversation, because he was still thinking of ways. How to keep this matter a secret from the wife, so as not to know her who is sick. And Amri will discuss with his father, mother and parents. But on condition that they keep this matter a secret from Slyn.
"So I mean, your wife has to change her lifestyle. Such as maintaining a diet, as well as limiting protein and potassium intake from food to relieve kidney work. Foods with high potassium levels, among which are such as bananas, oranges and vegetables such as potatoes, spinach and tomatoes."
"Then, . ," asked Amri to cut off Mica's unfinished conversation. Mica just sighed and continued her words.
"While foods with low potassium levels, among others are apples, grapes, strawberries, cabbage, carrots and chickpeas. And try to get your wife to exercise, at least three times a week regularly. In an hour or so per exercise." Firm Mica.
"All right I understand and thank you for the advice." Amri nodded his head sign that he understood and immediately resigned.
" Okay, Mic, if you'll excuse me to see my wife."
"Oh yes please, please. Please give my regards to your wife when you wake up." Mica replied with a smile.
"Yes, I'll tell you later, Mic. Thanks again." Amri said as he got up from his seat and stepped out of the room and opened the door and said hello.
"Assalamualaikum...... ?" Greetings to Amri and go.
"Walaikumusalam wr. wr, "Absaid Mica's doctor.
Amri stepped with a little run towards the room occupied by the wife, because it was moved from the ER room after the examination went smoothly.
