Ulendo Wachipatala

“Amayi ndi abambo, tili ndi munthu wokwera yemwe akufunika thandizo lachipatala; ngati pali okwera omwe amaphunzitsidwa zachipatala, chonde imbani batani loyimbira lomwe lili pamwamba pa mpando wanu." Pamene chilengezo ichi paulendo wathu wa redeye kuchokera ku Anchorage kupita ku Denver sichinalembetsedwe bwino m'malo anga osazindikira ndidazindikira kuti ndine wokwera yemwe ndikufunika thandizo lachipatala. Pambuyo pa sabata la zochitika zodabwitsa ku Alaska ulendo wopita kunyumba udakhala wovuta kwambiri.

Ine ndi mkazi wanga tinali titasankha ndege ya redeye chifukwa inali ulendo wokhawo wolunjika kunyumba ndipo ikanatipatsa tsiku lowonjezera paulendo wathu. Ndinali nditagona kwa ola limodzi ndikukumbukira nditakhala kuti ndisinthe malo. Chinthu chotsatira chimene ndikudziwa kuti mkazi wanga anali kundifunsa ngati ndinali bwino, kundiuza kuti ndadutsa m’kanjira. Nditakomokanso mkazi wanga anaimbira foni wogwira ntchito m’ndege, zomwe zinachititsa kuti alengeze. Ndinadutsa ndikutuluka chikumbukiro koma ndinamva chilengezocho ndipo ndinazindikira kuti pali anthu angapo omwe adaimirira. Mmodzi anali woyendetsa ndege, wina anali sing'anga wakale wa Navy, ndipo wina anali wophunzira unamwino yemwenso anali ndi zaka zambiri zachipatala. Osachepera ndizomwe tidazipeza pambuyo pake. Zomwe ndinkadziwa n’zakuti ndinkaona ngati angelo akundiyang’anira.

Gulu langa lachipatala silinathe kugunda koma wotchi yanga ya Fitbit idawerengedwa motsika ngati kugunda kwa 38 pamphindi. Anandifunsa ngati ndikumva kupweteka pachifuwa (sindinali), zomwe ndadya kapena kumwa komaliza, ndi mankhwala omwe ndimamwa. Tinali kudera lakutali la Canada panthawiyo kotero kuti kupatutsa sikunali koyenera. Zida zamankhwala zinalipo ndipo zidatumizidwa kwa dokotala pansi yemwe adalimbikitsa oxygen ndi IV. Wophunzira unamwinoyo anadziŵa kuperekera mpweya ndi IV, zimene zinandilimbitsa kufikira titafika ku Denver kumene achipatala anali kuyembekezera.

Ogwira ntchito m'ndege anapempha anthu ena onse kuti akhale pansi kuti azithandizo azindithandiza kunditsitsa. Tinapereka mawu achidule othokoza kwa gulu langa lachipatala ndipo ndinakhoza kuyenda mpaka pakhomo koma kenaka ndinaperekezedwa ndi njinga ya olumala kupita kuchipata kumene ndinapatsidwa EKG yofulumira ndi kukwezedwa pa gurney. Tinatsika mu elevator ndi panja kupita ku ambulansi yodikirira yomwe idanditengera ku chipatala cha University of Colorado. EKG ina, IV ina, ndi kuyezetsa magazi, pamodzi ndi kuyezetsa kunasonyeza kuti ndinali nditaya madzi m’thupi ndipo ndinamasulidwa kupita kunyumba.

Ngakhale kuti tinali oyamikira kwambiri kuti tinabwerera kunyumba, matenda osoŵa madzi m’thupi sanakhale bwino. Ndinauza onse ogwira ntchito zachipatala kuti ndinali ndi sangweji yothira chakudya chamadzulo usiku watha ndipo ndinamwa makapu awiri amadzi a Solo. Mkazi wanga ankaganiza kuti ndikufa m'ndege ndipo gulu langa lachipatala lomwe linali m'ndege linkaganiza kuti ndilofunika kwambiri, choncho lingaliro lakuti ndimangofunika kumwa madzi ambiri linkawoneka ngati lachilendo.

Komabe, tsiku limenelo ndinapuma ndi kumwa madzi ambiri ndipo tsiku lotsatira ndinamva kuti ndili bwinobwino. Ndinapita kwa dokotala wanga pambuyo pa sabata ndipo ndinapeza bwino. Komabe, chifukwa chakuti ndinalibe chidaliro pa matenda osoŵa madzi m’thupi ndi mbiri ya banja langa, ananditumiza kwa dokotala wamtima. Patangopita masiku angapo, dokotala wamtima adachita ma EKG ambiri komanso echocardiogram yomwe inali yachilendo. Iye ananena kuti mtima wanga unali wathanzi, koma anandifunsa kuti ndinamva bwanji nditavala makina ounikira mtima kwa masiku 30. Podziwa kuti pambuyo pa zomwe adakumana nazo mkazi wanga angafune kuti nditsimikizire kotheratu, ndinayankha.

M’maŵa wotsatira, ndinalandira uthenga womvetsa chisoni kuchokera kwa dokotala wa zamtima kuti mtima wanga unaima kwa masekondi angapo usiku ndipo ndinafunikira kuwonana ndi katswiri wamagetsi a electrophysiologist mwamsanga. Anakonza zoti madzulo amenewo akumane. EKG ina ndi kuyezetsa kwakanthawi kochepa kunapangitsa kuti pakhale matenda atsopano: kumangidwa kwa sinus ndi vasovagal syncope. Adokotala anati chifukwa mtima wanga unali kuima nthawi ya tulo ndipo ndinali kugona molunjika mundege, ubongo wanga sunathe kupeza mpweya wokwanira kotero kuti ndinakomoka. Anati akadandigoneka pansi bwenzi ndili bwino, koma chifukwa ndidakhalabe pampando wanga ndidapitilira kukomoka. Thandizo la matenda anga linali la pacemaker, koma atayankha mafunso angapo ananena kuti sizinali zachangu kwenikweni ndipo ndipite kunyumba ndikakambirane ndi mkazi wanga. Ndinafunsa ngati pali mwayi kuti mtima wanga uime osayambiranso, koma iye anati ayi, vuto lenileni ndiloti nditha kukomokanso ndikuyendetsa galimoto kapena pamwamba pa masitepe ndikudzivulaza ine ndi ena.

Ndinapita kunyumba n’kukambitsirana ndi mkazi wanga, amene momveka bwino ankakonda kwambiri makina oletsa kugunda kwa mtima, koma ndinkakayikira. Ngakhale mbiri ya banja langa ndakhala wothamanga kwa zaka zambiri ndikupumula kwa mtima kwa 50. Ndinkaona ngati ndinali wamng'ono komanso wathanzi kukhala ndi pacemaker. Ngakhale katswiri wa zamagetsi amanditcha "mnyamata pang'ono." Ndithudi panalinso chinthu china chimene chinathandizira. Google sinakhale bwenzi langa chifukwa zambiri zomwe ndidapeza, m'pamene ndidasokonezeka kwambiri. Mkazi wanga anali kundidzutsa usiku kuti atsimikizire kuti ndili bwino ndipo pondilimbikitsa ine ndinakonza ndondomeko ya pacemaker, koma kukayikira kwanga kunapitirira. Zinthu zingapo zinandilimbitsa mtima kuti ndipitirize. Dokotala woyambirira wamtima yemwe ndidamuwona adanditsata ndikutsimikizira kuti kuyimitsa kwa mtima kudali kuchitika. Anati azindiimbirabe mpaka nditapeza pacemaker. Ndinabwereranso kwa dokotala wanga, yemwe adayankha mafunso anga onse ndikutsimikizira kuti ndikudziwa. Iye ankadziwa electrophysiologist ndipo anati iye anali wabwino. Iye adati sikuti zingopitilira kuchitika, koma mwina zitha kuipiraipira. Ndimakhulupirira dokotala wanga ndipo ndikumva bwino kuti ndipitirize kulankhula naye.

Choncho mlungu wotsatira ndinakhala membala wa gulu la pacemaker. Opaleshoniyo ndi kuchira zinali zowawa kwambiri kuposa momwe ndimayembekezera, koma ndiribe zolepheretsa kupita patsogolo. Ndipotu, pacemaker yandipatsa chidaliro kuti ndiyambenso kuyenda ndi kuthamanga ndi kukwera maulendo ndi zina zonse zomwe ndimakonda. Ndipo mkazi wanga akugona bwino kwambiri.

Ngati sitinasankhe ndege ya redeye yomwe idandipangitsa kuti ndidutse m'ndege, komanso ndikadapanda kupitiliza kukayikira za kuchepa kwa madzi m'thupi, komanso ngati dokotala wanga sananditumize kwa katswiri wamtima, komanso ngati katswiri wamtima sanandiuze. kuvala chounikira, ndiye sindikanadziwa chikhalidwe cha mtima wanga. Ngati dokotala wamtima ndi dokotala wanga ndi mkazi wanga akanapanda kulimbikira kunditsimikizira kuti ndipitilize kuwongolera pacemaker, ndikanakhalabe pachiwopsezo cha kukomokanso, mwina m'mikhalidwe yowopsa kwambiri.

Ulendo wachipatala umenewu unandiphunzitsa maphunziro angapo. Chimodzi ndi phindu lokhala ndi wothandizira wamkulu yemwe amadziwa mbiri yanu ya thanzi ndipo akhoza kugwirizanitsa chithandizo chanu ndi akatswiri ena azachipatala. Phunziro lina ndilofunika kulimbikitsa thanzi lanu. Mumadziwa thupi lanu ndipo mumagwira ntchito yofunikira kuti mufotokoze zomwe mukumva kwa dokotala wanu. Kufunsa mafunso ndi kufotokozera zambiri kungakuthandizeni inu ndi dokotala wanu kufika pa matenda oyenera ndi zotsatira za thanzi. Kenako muyenera kutsatira malingaliro awo ngakhale sizomwe mukufuna kumva.

Ndikuthokoza kwambiri chithandizo chamankhwala chomwe ndinalandira ndipo ndikuthokoza kugwira ntchito ku bungwe lomwe limathandiza anthu omwe ali ndi mwayi wopeza chithandizo chamankhwala. Simudziwa nthawi yomwe mungafunikire chithandizo chamankhwala. Ndizosangalatsa kudziwa kuti pali akatswiri azachipatala omwe ali ophunzitsidwa bwino komanso ofunitsitsa kuthandiza. Monga ine ndikudziwira, iwo ndi angelo.
