Fitz > 生活Life > Fate is twisted and bizarre | Interview with mountain friend TC who fell down
You have heard many times that even if fate is upside down, even if fate is tortuous and bizarre, even if fate frightens you, don’t take it for granted that tomorrow will be as usual, you will not believe it, because you have spent more than 50 years of tomorrow as usual. Destiny treats you well, generally friendly and amiable, and gives you friends, wealth, health, freedom… until one day, fate loses its temper and turns against you, wanting to take back everything you have…
TC is my mountain running buddy. They have almost landed. They still have thick hair (have you ever dealt with my feelings). They are tall and tall. Although they are not fast feet on the ledge, they can keep running on the mountain and on the PT. Fitness for several years. He runs because he is healthy, loves nature, enjoys the feeling of being free and unrestrained, and is with his friends, simple but happy.
On the day of fighting with TC, TC’s figure fit (I guess it is the starting point of the next event?) Sai Kung Ngong Ping Grassland, TC jumped up to compare with the Golden Bell, it is a natural card pose. It turns out that everything is not taken for granted.
TC is currently living in Ma On Shan’s “SAHK Jockey Club New Page Home”, which is a rehabilitation home for people who are disabled due to accidents to prepare and adapt before returning home. My TC friend C and I went to visit him. TC smiled when he saw us. He didn’t have a frown, his voice was a little weak, but he was full of energy and didn’t feel like he was knocked down by fate. What is the point of TC? What happened…
Fate strikes
On June 6 last year, after a gathering of friends, TC took the subway home alone. He accidentally fell down the steps of the escalator, hit his head against a hard object, and soon lost consciousness. When I woke up in the East District Hospital, I was shocked to find that my hands, feet and feet were not listening to commands, I just read and couldn’t reply, and my skin felt like my limbs below the neck were playing with each other. I lay down and went on strike. The word “paralyzed” began to emerge, like a storm. The raindrops that started to fall from the sun all day long ago.
“No, no, a fall will be so serious, and it will be normal after a while…” At that time, TC still had a strong belief, and his belief was supportive.
Waiting for computer scans, waiting for X-rays, waiting for diagnosis by specialists, waiting for surgery, and waiting for more than five weeks in the ICU. Every time after waiting, there will always be a little bit of hope, but After going through a lot of waiting, hopes are like bubbles, bursting quickly one by one.
A vertebra in the neck was bent and broken. Even though the brain sent out a very strong signal, the reception below the neck was so weak that it could only receive half a block. I tried to move my hands and feet, but I felt a strong tension and couldn’t move. The hands, feet, and feet that have accompanied me for more than 50 years and ran across endless mountains have left me now. Don’t we share the same blood and live in the same house? Why did you suddenly start a cold war and become strange and self-willed?
“What was the hardest and most difficult day?”
“I was admitted to the hospital in the early stage and couldn’t move my whole body, only my head was depressed. I looked at the ceiling all day long, thinking about parallel time and space, and when I got home at 9 o’clock, my colleagues all returned to work. At noon, we went to lunch together. After work in the evening, we would go to the gym. Saturday A group of friends went to the mountains, followed by the residents, eating and drinking. Everything seems to be taken for granted, but there will be no more taken for granted in the future, I feel so sad.”
“There is also the need to insert the stomach throat and urine throat. At that time, I couldn’t control the urine and urine, so I relied on the urine throat to assist. Later, when I have the ability to recover, the urine throat can be removed. The stomach throat helps swallow food, but the mouth has to be opened for a long time to bite. It’s so boring, so dry mouth, so happy to drink water, the greatest wish in life at that time was a glass of frozen Coke.”
“I was on an outing with my friend the day before the accident. Can you tell me? Sometimes I think, wouldn’t it be better if the accident was more serious? Now I don’t have to suffer so much.” Needless to say.
vow not to bow
Since TC’s cervical spine is inlaid with eight screws to fix the head, the head often has to look up. When opening the mouth to eat, it is easy to open the trachea, and food may enter the trachea. However, TC does not have the strength to cough back the food, which will lead to pneumonia and even Suffocation, very dangerous.
“Yes, I and my family will never bow their heads!” TC interjected on the hospital bed, and he could also speak with relevant opportunities. But fate, what do you want him to smoke?
Inserting the stomach and throat is equivalent to depriving the enjoyment of delicious food, and it is a great punishment for TC who loves eating very much. He tried and the condition improved and the doctor allowed to remove the stomach throat. It was rare for a friend to go out with him to a party on Easter, enjoy a long-lost delicious meal, indulge in the noise and heat of the cup, and have a good night. After returning to the association, he immediately vomited and had a fever. The diagnosis was aspiration pneumonia, that is, food fell Into the trachea, so the stomach throat, which was freed after several efforts, came back. Of course, losing this round is really not enough for him, fate.
“I did a test yesterday to see if the stomach throat could be removed, but it was not approved because I was not coughing enough.” TC said with a look of helplessness and disappointment. Because he has had pneumonia once, the doctor will be more cautious. Now he has to work hard to make some coughs, or he can do tempo coughs and interval coughs.
In fact, it is very important for TC to be able to resume eating. He will be much happier, and he will have more nutrition. He will be able to work hard on his core, and he will get twice the result with half the effort when doing rehab.
Met Min Yi
In addition to friends around her, Min Yi also actively helped. When the accident happened that day, TC was sent to East District Hospital, where Minyi worked as an orthopedic surgeon. C knew Minyi and informed her immediately on the day of admission that it was her vacation. The next day, she immediately studied the examination report, and she said to C, “Um…. ., um…, well, what about his case…” C imitated Minyi’s stammering tone, when she wanted to say something that would make people unhappy or disappointed, Minyi always hesitated, didn’t want to Speak directly, for fear of hurting the other party.
“Understood, I know it.” C was brave and strong in the face of negative news.
(As an aside, when it comes to Minyi, TC took the opportunity to ask me: “Hey, A-sun, the next episode of Minyi’s interview video, when will I watch it?” Suddenly, TC is a fan of Minyi, and the counterattack made me momentary At a loss, I immediately activated the flash mode: “You know, these post-production workers are here, okay, wait until I catch up with the staff in the editing department.”)
“Min Yee is not my attending doctor, but she always came to visit me in the room. He suggested that I remove the urinal, which is much more comfortable. In fact, it is very easy to get an infection when the urinal is inserted.”
“During this period, I am very grateful to my family and friends for staying with me. I kept talking on the phone every day, which gave me great strength. The staff in the hospital and the hospital are very nice. I am so grateful. A friend taught me to use the voice control of the iPhone. , can operate a mobile phone, get access to information, and connect with the world again, and I will have a lot of motivation.” Knowing that gratitude is the source of positive energy.
TC needs connect, physical visits from friends bring physical power
In fact, the greatest strength is TC’s elderly mother. They are the ultimate spiritual support for each other. They must not be without each other, otherwise the world will collapse. Everyone has a secret agreement, no matter if the sky falls and the earth falls, we must hold on to it!
It turns out that there are people in the world who are nervous about you, and those who are nervous about you are the greatest motivation for life! Wealth, status, power, material… can all be lost, but you cannot be lost!
future
TC said that at present, he only has very humble expectations. He hopes that in the future, his arms and fingers will be able to move, and he can use the computer to surf the Internet. He has also imagined that he is sitting in a wheelchair to work, of course it is an electric wheelchair, and his fingers can control the joystick on the wheelchair to take the subway. , speeding in the streets, and even go to some barrier-free outing routes, it turns out that there are more than ten wheelchair-friendly countryside in Hong Kong (Accessible outing | Oasis Oasistrek ), people with disabilities can also listen to birdsong and smell the fragrance of flowers. When you look up and see the blue sky and white clouds, and feel the breeze and sunshine on your skin, life is still bearable.

At present, TCs need to use cranes to lift wheelchairs. Speaking of the future, to be honest, the future will not be full of hope. Instead, it will face many challenges and adjustments. TC’s mother is already old, and other family members are not able to take care of TC’s daily life. A domestic helper is required to take care of her. Work, mountain running, travel…, don’t think about it extravagantly. Facing daily life, personal hygiene, going shopping, economic planning… These are the races of the future. These superficially are short-distance races of 8 and 9K, which are already a 100-mile ultramarathon test for TC.
TC is not a Transformer, wearing gloves is to help pull finger muscles and enhance mobility
“I want to practice the small muscles of my fingers every day. I hope that more fingers can be moved. I want to practice the balance of sitting up and standing, so that I can have more control and more freedom.”
“Standing? What do you rely on to keep up?”
“There is a cloth bag to hang it, and a pat pat to hold it, and the rest has to be supported by yourself.”
That’s right, in the future, you have to rely on yourself to support yourself!

Run for Freedom Movement
TC said to be grateful, and Run for Freedom Movement concern, its founder Yes Loder I just visited TC in person last week to get a preliminary understanding of TC’s situation and needs, and see if there is any need for support. Movement’s mission is “When we run for freedom, we run for those who cannot.” They help disabled people gain real freedom and life by providing electric wheelchairs, education, rehabilitation and job opportunities (including contacting employers or assisting in starting a business) The meaning of true freedom and purpose of lives.
Together, always the most powerful support (give asia) Jo and two friends visit TC
52-year-old Jo, British, although he is not familiar with the local Chinese, but he has a very special pioneering work in the mountains of Hong Kong. At the beginning of this year, he spent five consecutive days completing a long-distance mountain trail every day, including Wei Trail (78K/4600m), Hong Kong Island Trail (50K/2000m), Wheat Trail (100K/4600m), Phoenix Trail (70K/3300m) , and Tianhe Trail (93K/5000m), a total of 390K/19500m in five days. (Tinworth Trail is a commemoration of the Hong Kong Mountain Race Nic Tinworth designed by Nic, whose events include Nine Dragon and Country of Origin). Jo took this amazing trip and raised about $400,000 for Run for Freedom.
Jo’s 390-kilometer long march not only raised 400,000 yuan, but also promoted the spirit of Run for Freedom
Run for Freedom’s current main support groups include the “Self-improvement Association” 1st Steps Association (to assist disabled people with serious industrial accidents to purchase or repair electric wheelchairs), and the Sensational Foundation (to promote the integration of disabilities), because Run for Freedom is not a registered charity, so donations go through give asia and Sensational Foundation Two registered charities process and forward to ensure donations go to those they serve.
Run for Freedom spent about 200,000 yuan to refurbish 15 electric wheelchairs of the “Self-improvement Association”, and the rest was used to replace batteries and repair damaged parts. Jo said that the most meaningful thing is that most of the people who assist in maintenance are disabled people, and they will also teach disabled volunteers maintenance skills to achieve true self-improvement.

Jo said that 95% of Run for Freedom’s donors are foreigners, but 100% of the beneficiaries are local disabled people. He hopes to get more support from the local community. In addition to donating money, he can also participate in their activities, not only In order to raise funds, I also hope to spread their message – “When we run for freedom, we run for those who cannot.” to more Hong Kong people, so that those whose bodies are trapped by obstacles can share the same freedom and freedom as we do. Spectacular life.
I have to go through all the twists and turns in my life
Since when have you been with me give me warm pats
Like the fire of the red sun igniting the real me
You can walk through thousands of mountains together
(Where the lyrics come from? Yes, young man!)
Sun Limin – old, short running time, knee pain, hard roots. But according to climbing the top of the phoenix and stepping on the boa snake. The strength is regardless of the consequences, not afraid of failure. Try to bring the spirit of mountain running and road running to workplace management.
