Surgery Godfather Chapter 1065 - 1065 874 Beyond Expectation

Chapter 1065: Chapter 874: Beyond Expectation Chapter 1065: Chapter 874: Beyond Expectation Fang Liu had less than a month left of work before his retirent, and Captain Lei wanted to give him so ti off.

After so many years of living and dying together, Fang Liu indeed found it hard to leave his comrades behind. He was now taking the ti to pick up so items from the fire departnt to avoid a rushed goodbye. He wandered around the familiar premises, the plants, bricks, and tiles all too well known to him. Realizing that he would soon leave this place, a touch of lancholy was inevitable.

But all good things must co to an end, and after Lan Xueping had her “surgery” and was discharged from the “ward”, Fang Liu was determined to take her on a grand tour of China’s magnificent landscapes, to create their own romance and happiness.

Unable to afford a motorho, Fang Liu had already prepared a tricycle and organized their luggage. He planned to take Lan Xueping’s dog with them on the trip. A couple and their dog, on three wheels, would traverse far and wide – to “Tibet” in the west, “Inner Mongolia” in the north, and “Harbin” in the northeast, leaving their footprints all across China.

Fang Liu happened to be at the station to pick up so items, and with his brothers around, Xiao Guoqiang decided to deliver everyone’s gift to Fang Liu early instead of waiting for Lan Xueping’s birthday.

Old Xiao was worried that everyone would get too excited and noisy on Lan Xueping’s birthday, which might disturb the normal order of the “ward”; these young guys were always up to so mischief.

“Fang Liu, what do you think that is?”

Xiao Guoqiang pointed to a vehicle covered with a tarp not too far away. Fang Liu took a careful look and saw a small motorho – the very thing he had dread of having. However, because it was too expensive, and he needed to save money, he had given up the idea of buying one and settled on a tricycle instead.

“You should go take a look, maybe drive it around for a few turns and then tell how it feels.”

Xiao Guoqiang threw the keys to Fang Liu, who glanced at everyone’s curious expressions and then at Old Xiao: “Is this car yours?”

“So much talk. Just go and take a look like I told you, no matter whose it is. Aren’t the keys right here?” Old Xiao urged.

Fang Liu was puzzled, but his interest in the motorho was undeniable. Even if it wasn’t Old Xiao’s vehicle, it must be so brother’s new purchase parked in the backyard. Taking a look wouldn’t hurt. Fang Liu took the keys and strode towards the vehicle, inspecting the driver’s cab and the living quarters, both inside and out, drooling over it. Which one of them had parked it here just to tempt others?

A “Wuling” motorho – sothing Fang Liu had always dreamt of owning but couldn’t afford, which was why he had reluctantly settled for a tricycle.

Fang Liu drove the motorho around the parking lot a few tis, hardly able to let go of it. He then checked the odoter, which showed just over 5,000 kiloters. Who was this extravagant, toying with such a motorho?

After several turns, Fang Liu parked and went over to ask Old Xiao, “Is this car yours?”

Old Xiao just counter-asked, “Are you satisfied with it?”

“Satisfied!”

But what use was being satisfied? It wasn’t his. Fang Liu handed the keys back to Old Xiao.

Old Xiao pointed to the group and said, “As long as you are satisfied, the brothers say the car is yours. Take good care of the keys.”

Mine?

Fang Liu was utterly bewildered.

“If you’re satisfied, find ti to complete the transfer paperwork. You are leaving us to go on adventures with your wife. We didn’t know what to give you, so we pooled our money to buy this motorho for you—don’t get excited just yet, listen to first. The car is second-hand and didn’t cost a fortune. A childhood friend of mine helped fix it up, so it cost even less.”

Old Xiao spoke at a relaxed pace.

After hearing this, Fang Liu was overwheld with emotion, touched by such a grand gesture of brotherhood: “No, even second-hand, this must have cost at least a hundred thousand. I can’t accept such a large gift.”

“Look, all the brothers are here, so I’m asking you straight—aren’t we brothers? If we are, then don’t make a fuss. Take the keys, handle the paperwork when you have ti. If we’re not, then hand the keys back and don’t look back when you leave.” Old Xiao was firm.

Clenching the keys tightly, Fang Liu embraced Xiao Guoqiang and then hugged each of his present brothers. “Thanks, brothers. I’ll take it, I’ll take it!”

“Now, that’s speaking sense. We’ve been planning this for a long ti. We originally wanted to wait for Lan Xueping’s birthday to give it to you as a birthday present. But then we thought it best to tell you ahead of ti. We’re all n here; no need for surprises and romantic gimmicks,” Old Xiao said straightforwardly.

A group of brothers embraced Fang Liu:

“When the ti cos, make sure to post lots of monts, so the brothers know what you’re up to.”

“If there’s anything you need help with, just say the word.”

“When are you going to teach that hard qigong of yours?”

“Take care of yourself, don’t overdo it. Take your ti traveling and sightseeing.”

“If you encounter any issues out there, give so ground, don’t start conflicts. You’re all by yourself, and the brothers aren’t by your side.”

Gradually, Fang Liu’s eyes moistened, and he pocketed the car keys without saying a word.

Lan Xueping’s surgery had been a long ti in the making and finally began.

It was the first procedure of the day, with Yang Ping performing as the chief surgeon. For Yang Ping, the difficulty of surgery itself wasn’t extraordinarily high, but since it was the first ti applying this surgical thod to treat penguin disease, ticulous planning was required preoperatively. During the surgery, careful maneuvers were necessary, and postoperatively the changes in the illness needed observation. No matter the effect, the reasons had to be investigated. If the outco was good, it was necessary to study why it worked; if the effect was poor or non-existent, the reasons needed to be scrutinized to pinpoint where theory and practice diverged.

This was Lan Xueping’s first surgery; all past treatnts had been conservative, including dication, rehabilitation training, acupuncture, massage, cupping, and various traditional Chinese dicine and herbal redies both oral and topical.

Before the surgery, Lan Xueping was in the prone position, with her head already shaved bald.

Yang Ping chose the posterior midline suboccipital approach to enter the skull and then proceeded through the cerebellodullary fissure to reach the target site.

The cerebellodullary fissure extends laterally from the midline space between the cerebellar tonsils to the lateral cerebellodullary cistern. The cerebellodullary cistern is an arachnoid space surrounded by the lateral jugular tubercle and dulla on the inside. To decompress the cerebellum, Yang Ping operated on the arachnoid mbrane of the cerebellodullary cistern to relax the cerebellum and brainstem mbranes, as well as to ease the tension on the dura mater.

From here, it was easy for Yang Ping to dissect the blood vessels needed for the bypass within the safe interval and then use the great saphenous vein for the bypass.

The entire surgery didn’t take long, just over an hour. Afterward, Lan Xueping was sent directly back to the general ward for postoperative treatnt.

Perhaps due to the improvent in cerebellar blood flow, six hours after the surgery, as the effects of anesthesia mostly faded, she clearly felt a significant reduction in the tremors in both arms and found speaking much more relaxed.

The next day, Lan Xueping was even able to drink water and eat on her own without the previous coughing and choking.

On the third day after the surgery, Lan Xueping tried standing on her own. She successfully stood up, and her sense of balance was noticeably better than before, allowing her to stand steadily on her own, sothing that would have been inconceivable before the surgery.

By the fourth day, Lan Xueping could independently stand up to use the restroom, and the finger-to-nose test with both hands beca much more accurate.

This unexpectedly successful surgical outco bolstered Lan Xueping’s confidence further. She decided to face her illness optimistically, approach the world positively, and, no matter what the future held, she wanted to live well with Fang Liu, experiencing the joy of life, the beauty of love, and the warmth of the world.

Such a remarkable surgical outco was also beyond Yang Ping’s expectations. He knew the surgery would be effective, but he did not anticipate it being so profoundly successful.

Apparently, the normal neurons in the cerebellum hadn’t been performing much due to insufficient blood supply and compression.

Moreover, the count of residual normal cells in the cerebellum was far greater than estimated before the surgery.

It appeared that this surgical thod had great promise.

PS: I’ve been busy lately, so the updates haven’t been very substantial. Things should improve in a few days. Thank you all!
