<div>揮手告別 人物：X先生——一床病人的丈夫<br> Y先生——三床病人的兒子<br> C女士——Y先生的妻子<br> 我接到了醫(yī)院讓我入院的電話以后，我的孩子送我去了醫(yī)院。我在病房門口向里面的人打招呼：“你們好！我來(lái)了！”沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到回應(yīng)。我向內(nèi)走了四·五步，到了病房中間的二床，我的床。我放下簡(jiǎn)易行李，躺在床上，沒(méi)有脫鞋，兩腿蕩在床旁邊。這時(shí)候，過(guò)來(lái)了C女士。她幫我脫了鞋，我可以把腿放到床上了?！爸x謝你了！”我對(duì)她說(shuō)。又來(lái)了一位護(hù)士，她建議我請(qǐng)護(hù)工。我同意了。<br> 我是下午入的病房。當(dāng)天夜里，一床病人的護(hù)工，即她的丈夫X先生，三床病人的護(hù)工，她的兒媳，還有我的護(hù)工，三個(gè)人在病房?jī)?nèi)的小空地上，放了三張行軍床睡了。夜里，我去病房外的衛(wèi)生間好幾次。我盡量自己完成。我小心地跨過(guò)地上X先生的鞋子，在兩張床之間約五十公分的夾縫中來(lái)回過(guò)。有一次，我坐在我的床邊，試了幾次，虛弱，不敢邁步。只聽(tīng)一床病人大喊一聲“喊她！”我的護(hù)工立刻從床上坐起來(lái)，穿鞋，陪我去了衛(wèi)生間。<br> 第二天，我了解了一些情況。一床病人比我小三歲，退休以前是小學(xué)教員。三床老人八十四歲了，生有三個(gè)子女，她幫助子女帶大了他們的孩子。我趁病房里人少的時(shí)候，靠著我的床，面對(duì)著一米五外的墻，活動(dòng)自己的身體和四肢。沒(méi)多久，我轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身，發(fā)現(xiàn)三床老人正看著我。我笑著問(wèn)她：“三床阿姨會(huì)跳阿拉伯舞，肚皮舞嗎？”“我哪里會(huì)??！”她的嗓子說(shuō)不出話來(lái)，她就把她的頭和上半身用力向旁邊搖了一下，又看著我。“我看到你不停地?fù)u頭，轉(zhuǎn)脖子，轉(zhuǎn)胳膊，手，還有手指，這些都是阿拉伯舞里面要做的動(dòng)作，你都做得很好！”我又說(shuō)?！拔覌寢屢郧敖?jīng)常跟別人跳廣場(chǎng)舞的?！比怖先说膬合眿D，C女士說(shuō)。一床病人家養(yǎng)著一只大寵物狗，三床病人家養(yǎng)著小寵物狗。C女士拿出她的手機(jī)，給大家看了她家的狗的照片。我看見(jiàn)一張照片上，有六只小狗正圍著一只盆子吃食。小狗們身上的毛色都是像大熊貓的毛一樣，黑一快，白一塊的?！斑@些小狗真可愛(ài)呀！”我說(shuō)。一床病人的丈夫，X先生與C女士又聊了給狗洗澡梳毛的事。X先生用他的一只手掌代表梳子，在他妻子的病床上做出給狗梳毛的動(dòng)作。C女士說(shuō)，“應(yīng)當(dāng)順著狗毛生長(zhǎng)的方向梳毛，把梳子與狗的皮成四十五度角?！薄皧W，今天我學(xué)了一招！”X先生高興地說(shuō)。X先生還自豪地說(shuō)，他是捉甲魚(yú)高手，他的眼睛能夠看到兩米外的水面下的甲魚(yú)狀況。大家都夸C女士照顧老人周到，勝過(guò)一個(gè)親閨女做的。<br> 第三天中午開(kāi)始，三床老人不停地折騰，她坐起來(lái)，伸手要拔掉鼻子里的胃管，要下地，要回家。C女士開(kāi)始埋怨老人。“你是故意不讓我休息一下，你干脆把我修了！”她越說(shuō)越委屈。我怕她會(huì)說(shuō)出更傷人的話，我插話了“三床兒媳婦，千萬(wàn)別怪你的媽媽了！你的媽媽知道你這些日子太辛苦。你真的是快要累垮了。你該回家休息兩天。我建議你多次去醫(yī)生辦公室，強(qiáng)烈要求讓你的丈夫來(lái)替換你！”<br> 過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，一個(gè)護(hù)士來(lái)量老人的血糖，結(jié)果是四點(diǎn)五。C女士這才意識(shí)到為何老人今天不能安靜睡午覺(jué)了。又過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，C女士從外面回到病房，高興地說(shuō)，醫(yī)生同意明天讓自己的丈夫來(lái)替換自己了。<br> 第四天，我要出院了。早上，我見(jiàn)C女士的丈夫，老人的兒子Y先生來(lái)了。他的妻子向他交代了一下，給了他一張半個(gè)手掌大小的紙片，就離開(kāi)了病房，回家去了。Y先生脫了外套，坐在他媽媽的床邊?！皨寢專阆胱屛易鲂┦裁词?”他的媽媽張著嘴，發(fā)不出聲音。他說(shuō)：“媽媽，你急死我了，我不知道你說(shuō)的是什么！”Y先生又脫上衣，只剩下一件背心。這時(shí)，X先生走到三床老人床邊，“我來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)?！彼f(shuō)。老人向他張嘴，用力說(shuō)呀，說(shuō)。X先生全神貫注地看著老人。過(guò)了好一陣子，X先生說(shuō)：“本人水平不夠?！彼z憾地離開(kāi)了。Y先生告訴他的媽媽：“假如你要解手，就用你的手指向下面?！薄皨?，我給你聽(tīng)鄧麗君的歌。這是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)得像鄧麗君的女孩唱的?！彼咽謾C(jī)舉到老人面前。老人搖頭。</div><div><br></div><div> 我閉著眼睛，和衣躺在床上，等我的孩子的接我回家的電話。突然，我聽(tīng)到一個(gè)細(xì)微的聲音：“大妹子，大妹子?！彪y道是三床老人在叫我？我又聽(tīng)見(jiàn)Y先生說(shuō)“媽媽，你別管別人的事。你沒(méi)看見(jiàn)人家要出院了？管好你自己的事，你也早點(diǎn)兒回家?！蔽伊⒖剔D(zhuǎn)向老人，老人正看著我?！拔乙丶伊?。你也快快好起來(lái)！”我對(duì)老人說(shuō)。我的手機(jī)響起來(lái)。我起身，穿鞋，拿上行李，走到病房門口，停下，轉(zhuǎn)身，看到三床老人還在向我舉著胳膊，向我告別。我又一次大聲對(duì)她說(shuō)，“三床阿姨，快快好起來(lái)！”然后，我對(duì)門旁邊的一床病人說(shuō)“再見(jiàn)！我的同行！再見(jiàn)，X先生！”她們回復(fù)我：“再見(jiàn)，顧老師！”<br> </div> <p class="ql-block">Wave Farewell</p><p class="ql-block">Characters: </p><p class="ql-block"> MrX----husband of patient bed1</p><p class="ql-block"> MrY----son of patient bed3H</p><p class="ql-block"> LadyC----wife of MrY</p><p class="ql-block"> </p><p class="ql-block"> The hospital called me to be hospitalized. My son sent to the hospital. When I reached my inpatient ward, I said to the people in the room“</p><p class="ql-block">How do you do? I have come." No answer. I took four or five steps to bed2,my bed, in the middle of the room. I lay on the bed with my two legs haanding out of the bed. A lady came to me to take my shoes off. "Thank you!" I said to her.This lady was the daughter in-law of the patient of bed3.A nurse came to suggest me hire a worker-nurse. I agreed.</p><p class="ql-block"> In the first night, three foldaway beds were in the crowded room.One bed was for MrX, one was for LadyC, one was for my worker-nurse. I had to go through the narrow place of half a metre to the toilet. One night I tried three times but failed to the tiolet, "Call her!" the patient of bed1 cried. My worker-nurse immediately got up to go with me </p><p class="ql-block"> On the second day,I began to know something about the people.The patient of bed1 was three years younger than me, she was a teacher before she was retired.The patient of bed3 was ten years older than me. She had three children and she took care of grandchildren. The patient of bed1 kept a big pet dog,the patient of bed3 kept a small one.Lady C showed us the photos of the dogs in her mobilephone. I saw there were six small dogs eating around a bowl.The dogs'hair were black and white,just like panda's hair."Interesting!"I said.They talked about how to wash and comb for their dogs. MrX put his palm on his wife's bed like a comb.LadyC said that combing hair should be toward the direction of the growth of the dog'hair and forty-five degrees to the dog'skin. "O，I have learned a new way."said MrX happily.MrX also told us that he was good at catching turtles.He could see the turtles two meters under water.People praised LadyC for her caring the old woman very well.</p><p class="ql-block"> On the third day,the old woman seemed not well.</p><p class="ql-block">She tried to pull out the tube from the no</p> <p class="ql-block">On the third day,the old woman seemed not well.</p><p class="ql-block">She tried to pull out the tube from the nose, she wanted to get off the bed. LadyC blamed the old woman.I was afraid LadyC would blamed too much to hurt the old woman, I said to LadyC：“Your mother know you have been too tired. She is worried about you.You should go to the doctors'office, ask them to allow your husband come." </p><p class="ql-block"> A nurse came and check the old moman.Her blood sugar was 4.5..</p><p class="ql-block"> LadyC came back and said the her husband was allowed to come tomorrow.</p><p class="ql-block"> On the fourth day morning,MrY came.His wife could leave for home. MrY took off his overcoat,sat by his mother'bed, asked"What can I do for you?" The old woman talked a lot,but no voice. "I can't understand what you want."He continued to take off his clothes until the last one. MrX came and tried to help them but failed."My ability is limited."He left the old woman. "Mum,if you want to make water,your finger point downwards"said MrY. "I let you listen to the song sung by a girl who is like Deng singer ." The old woman shook her head.</p><p class="ql-block"> I would leave the hospital this day.I lay on the bed with eyes closed,waiting for my child'phone.suddenly I heard a tiny voice "big sister, big sister." Was it from the old woman? Then I heard MrY talk to his mother；“Don't care about other things. Care about yourself.We may leave here soon!"</p><p class="ql-block"> I turned to the old lady,said" I 'll leave hospital. I hope you can be well soon!"</p><p class="ql-block"> My phone called me. I got up,put on my shoes,took my simple baggage. When I walked to the door,I saw the old woman still looked at me and waved her arm to me. So I again said good bye to her. I also said good bye to the couple of bed1."Good bye, my colleague!" She replied "Good bye,teacher Gu!"</p>
