Uhambo lwezonyango

“Manene nani manene, sinomkhweli ofuna uncedo lwezonyango; ukuba kukho abakhweli abakhweleyo benoqeqesho lwezonyango, nceda ucofe iqhosha lokufowuna elingentla kwesitulo sakho.” Njengoko esi sibhengezo kwinqwelomoya yethu ye-redeye esuka e-Anchorage isiya e-Denver ibhaliswe ngendlela engaqondakaliyo kwimeko yam yobuthathaka ndiye ndaqaphela ukuba ndandingumkhweli ofuna uncedo lwezonyango. Emva kweveki yee-adventures ezimangalisayo e-Alaska inqwelomoya eya ekhaya yajika yaba yinto enomdla ngakumbi.

Mna nomfazi wam sasikhethe inqwelomoya ye-redeye kuba yayikuphela kwenqwelomoya ebuyela ekhaya kwaye yayiza kusivumela usuku olongezelelweyo kuhambo lwethu. Bendilele into engapha kweyure xa ndikhumbula ndihleli nditshintsha indawo. Into elandelayo endiyaziyo inkosikazi yam yayindibuza ukuba ndiyaphila na, indixelela ukuba ndidlule epasejini. Xa ndandisifa kwakhona umfazi wam wafowunela umlindi kwinqwelo-moya, ebangela ukuba enze isaziso. Ndangena ndiphuma ezingqondweni kodwa ndeva eso saziso ndaza ndaqonda ukuba kukho abantu abaliqela ababemi phezu kwam. Omnye wayengumlindi wenqwelomoya, omnye wayeligqirha laseMkhosini wamanzi, kwaye omnye wayengumfundi wokonga owayeneminyaka yamava kugqirha wezilwanyana. Ubuncinane yiloo nto esiyifumene kamva. Ekuphela kwento endandiyazi kukuba ndandiziva ngathi iingelosi zindijongile.

Iqela lam lonyango alikwazanga ukufumana i-pulse kodwa iwotshi yam yeFitbit ifundeka phantsi njenge-38 beats ngomzuzu. Bandibuza ukuba ndisiva ubuhlungu besifuba (bendingenguye), oko ndandigqibele ukutya okanye ndasela, kwaye ngawaphi amayeza endiwathathayo. Sasingaphaya kwendawo ekude yaseCanada ngelo xesha ke ukuphambukisa kwakungeyondlela yokukhetha. Ikhithi yonyango yayikhona kwaye yafakwa kugqirha ophantsi owacebisa i-oxygen kunye ne-IV. Lo mfundi wokonga wayeyazi indlela yokuhambisa ioksijini ne-IV, nto leyo eyandenza ndazinzisa de saya kufika eDenver apho aboncedo lokuqala babeza kusilinda khona.

Iqela labasebenzi benqwelomoya lacela bonke abanye abakhweli ukuba bahlale phantsi ukuze aboncedo lokuqala bandincedise ukundikhupha kwinqwelomoya. Sidlulise amazwi amafutshane ombulelo kwiqela lam logqirha ndakwazi ukuya emnyango kodwa ndakhatshwa ngesitulo esinamavili ukuya esangweni apho ndanikwa I EKG ekhawulezileyo ndakhweliswa kwi gurney. Sehla kwi-elevator saphumela ngaphandle kwi-ambulensi eyayilindile eyandisa kwiSibhedlele seYunivesithi yaseColorado. Enye iEKG, enye i-IV, novavanyo lwegazi, kunye nokuxilongwa kwaphumela ekubeni ndifumanise ukuba andinamanzi yaye ndakhululwa ukuba ndigoduke.

Nangona sasinombulelo kakhulu ngokubuyela ekhaya, ukuxilongwa kokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni akuzange kuhlale kakuhle. Ndandibaxelele bonke abasebenzi bezonyango ukuba ndinesandwich enesiqholo kwisidlo sangokuhlwa sangokuhlwa kwangethuba kwaye ndisele iikomityi ezimbini zamanzi eSolo ngayo. Umfazi wam wayecinga ukuba ndiyafa kwinqwelomoya kwaye iqela lam lonyango kwinqwelomoya ngokuqinisekileyo lalicinga ukuba linzulu, ngoko ke umbono wokuba kufuneka ndisele amanzi amaninzi wawubonakala ungeyonyani.

Nangona kunjalo, ndaphumla ndaza ndasela iziselo ezininzi ngaloo mini kwaye ndaziva ndiphile qete ngosuku olulandelayo. Ndilandele ugqirha wam kamva kuloo veki kwaye ndajonga kakuhle. Noko ke, ngenxa yokungazithembi kwam ukuxilongwa kokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni nakwimbali yentsapho yakowethu, wandithumela kugqirha wentliziyo. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva, ugqirha wentliziyo wenza ii-EKG ezininzi kunye ne-echocardiogram yoxinzelelo eyayiqhelekile. Wathi intliziyo yam isempilweni kakhulu, kodwa wandibuza ukuba ndiziva njani ngokunxiba isixhobo sokuhlola intliziyo kangangeentsuku ezingama-30. Ekubeni ndandisazi ukuba emva koko wayedlule kuko umfazi wam wayeza kufuna ndiqiniseke ngokupheleleyo, ndathi ewe.

Ngentsasa elandelayo, ndafumana umyalezo obuhlungu ovela kugqirha wentliziyo owawusithi intliziyo yam yayimile kangangemizuzwana ethile ebusuku yaye kwakufuneka ndibonane nogqirha osebenza nge-electrophysiologist ngoko nangoko. Kwalungiselelwa idinga ngaloo mvakwemini. Enye i-EKG kunye novavanyo olufutshane lubangele ukuxilongwa okutsha: ukubanjwa kwe-sinus kunye ne-vasovagal syncope. Utshilo ugqirha kuba intliziyo yam ibima xa ndilele ndilele nkqo kwinqwelomoya, ingqondo yam ibingakwazi ukufumana ioksijini yaneleyo ndiye ndaphuma. Wathi ukuba bakwazile ukundilalisa ngendihamba kakuhle, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ndihleli esitulweni sam ndaqhubeka nokufelwa. Iyeza lokunyanga imeko yam yayiyi- pacemaker, kodwa emva kokuphendula iqela lemibuzo wathi yayingangxamisekanga ngokukhethekileyo yaye mandigoduke ndiyokuthetha ngayo nomfazi wam. Ndibuze ukuba likhona na ithuba intliziyo yam ike ime ingaphindi iqalise, kodwa wathi hayi eyona nto iyingozi kukuba ndingaphinda ndidlulelwe ngaphaya xa ndiqhuba okanye ndiphezu kwezitepsi ndenze ukwenzakala kwam nakwabanye.

Ndagoduka ndaza ndaxubusha ngayo nomfazi wam owayeyithanda kakhulu i- pacemaker, kodwa ndandinamathandabuzo. Ngaphandle kwembali yosapho lwam bendiyimbaleki iminyaka emininzi ngokubetha kwentliziyo ephumleyo ka 50. Ndaziva ngathi ndimncinci kakhulu kwaye ngenye indlela ndisempilweni ukuba ndibe ne-pacemaker. Nkqu ne-electrophysiologist yandibiza “njengomfana oselula.” Ngokuqinisekileyo kwakukho enye into eyayinegalelo. UGoogle akazange abe ngumhlobo wam njengoko ulwazi oluthe kratya bendiluqokelela, kokukhona ndibhideka ngakumbi. Umfazi wam wayendivusa ebusuku ukuze aqinisekise ukuba ndilungile kwaye ngokundibongoza kwakhe ndacwangcisa inkqubo ye-pacemaker, kodwa amathandabuzo am aqhubeka. Izinto ezimbalwa zandinika ukuzithemba kokuqhubeka. Ugqirha wentliziyo ebendimbonile uye wandilandela waqinisekisa ukuba intliziyo inqumama ibisenzeka. Wathi uzomane efowuna ndide ndifumane I pacemaker. Ndiphinde ndabuyela kugqirha wam, owaphendula yonke imibuzo yam kwaye waqinisekisa ukuxilongwa. Wayeyazi i-electrophysiologist kwaye wathi ulungile. Uthe ayizukuqhubeka ukwenzeka, kodwa iya kuba mbi ngakumbi. Ndiyamthemba ugqirha wam kwaye ndizive ndingcono ngokuqhubeka emva kokuthetha naye.

Ngoko ke, kwiveki elandelayo ndaba lilungu leqela labancedisi bentliziyo. Utyando kunye nokuchacha kwakubuhlungu ngakumbi kunokuba ndandilindele, kodwa andinayo imida ukuya phambili. Enyanisweni, isincedisi-ntliziyo sindinike ukuzithemba ukuba ndiqalise kwakhona ukuhamba nokubaleka nokunyuka intaba kunye nayo yonke eminye imisebenzi endiyonwabelayo. Kwaye umfazi wam ulele ngcono kakhulu.

Ukuba asizange sikhethe indiza ye-redeye eyabangela ukuba ndiphume kwinqwelomoya, kwaye ukuba andizange ndiqhubeke ndibuza ukuxilongwa kokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni, kwaye ukuba ugqirha wam akazange andithumele kwi-cardiologist, kwaye ukuba i-cardiologist ayizange indicebise. nxiba imonitha, ke andiyazi imeko yentliziyo yam. Ukuba ugqirha wentliziyo kunye nogqirha wam nomfazi wam bebengakhange bazingise ekundeyiseleni ukuba ndiqhubeke nenkqubo ye-pacemaker, bendiya kuba semngciphekweni wokufa kwakhona, mhlawumbi kwimeko eyingozi ngakumbi.

Le adventure yonyango indifundise izifundo ezininzi. Elinye lixabiso lokuba nomboneleli ophambili owazi imbali yakho yempilo kwaye unokulungelelanisa unyango lwakho kunye nezinye iingcali zonyango. Esinye isifundo kukubaluleka kokuthethelela impilo yakho. Uyawazi umzimba wakho kwaye udlala indima ebalulekileyo ukunxibelelana nento oziva ngayo kumboneleli wakho wezonyango. Ukubuza imibuzo kunye nokucacisa ulwazi kunokukunceda wena kunye nomboneleli wakho wezempilo ukuba nifike ekuxilongweni okufanelekileyo kunye neziphumo zempilo. Kwaye ke kuya kufuneka ulandele ngengcebiso zabo nokuba ingeyiyo le nto ufuna ukuyiva.

Ndinombulelo ngonyango endilufumeneyo kwaye ndinombulelo ngokusebenzela umbutho onceda abantu ukuba bafumane unyango. Awunakwazi ukuba ingaba nguwe nini na ofuna uncedo lwezonyango. Kuhle ukwazi ukuba kukho iingcali zonyango eziqeqeshiweyo kwaye zizimisele ukunceda. Ngokubhekiselele kum, ziingelosi.
