Happy old age for double centenarians

It is another year when the autumn wind rises, another year when the leaves fall all over the ground, and the air all over the world is filled with the smell of autumn. After two years, we came to Fuhua Apartment again to visit Du Ruiwu, a revolutionary old man who underwent hip and knee replacement surgeries in Weifang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine five years ago, and his old partner. October 1, 2011, Saturday, 8:00 a.m., we gently rang the doorbell of the two old people’s home, the two old people saw us, excitedly welcomed us into the home, overflowing with happiness and joy. The two old men walked back and forth lightly in the living room, their steady steps showing us the success of the surgery five years ago.

After the surgery, the old man’s recovery was very satisfactory. On the third day after the surgery, he was already standing on the ground and walking for a short distance with the help of a walker, and one week later, he was walking steadily. Even the old man himself thought that he had recovered so quickly from such a serious traumatic fracture at such an advanced age. And Du Ruiwu old man was also 94 years old partner is even more incredible! Du Ruiwu old man hospitalized during the operation, Du Daniang due to severe osteoarthritis of the knee joints can not come to the hospital every day to visit his partner; when she came to the hospital in a wheelchair to see Du grandfather three days after the operation to stand and walk on the ground, a week later has been walking steadily, the heart is full of gratitude and excitement, and also on their own knee disease treatment ignited the hope of her, she was careful to ask the doctor to try to ask their own knee joints can be carried out, the total knee joint replacement is a very good idea, but it’s not a good idea.

In the process of conversation, the two old people have been holding our hands unwilling to let go, the gratitude is overflowing, when leaving, the two old people got up to send us to the door, repeating the words of two years ago: thank you for the Chinese Medicine Hospital, thank you for the Department of Joints and Orthopedics of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, thank you for your superb technology and enthusiastic service, so that our two old people have a happy life in their twilight years.
