Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 201

When Graham and Hector heard that the patient’s waist was hot, they looked at each other and sighed once again. Their acupuncture was indeed impressive, but such an effect was something they could never achieve. Annalise, despite her young age, did an amazing job!

Annalise smiled and said to the patient, “Sir, this is normal. You used to have lesions on your waist and cervical vertebrae. When you encounter cold and humid air, for example, when the weather is cold, the cold will drill into the lesions. You will feel that your neck and waist are cold. It’s so uncomfortable, and you won’t feel hot even if you try to warm up.”

“Yes, exactly. Before I was paralyzed, I just felt that my cervical vertebrae and waist were always cold. I had to wear more clothes during winter times. But no matter how many clothes I wore, my waist and cervical vertebrae were still cold. Later on, when I was paralyzed, I felt even colder,” the patient said.

Annalise said, “After I treat you, you have to listen to me and take care of yourself. You need to be very careful for about half a year, and then you will be completely cured.”

“This can be completely cured in half a year?” The patient, Graham, and Hector asked in unison. “Yes,” Annalise replied. Everyone’s eyes lit up. The patient saw hope. Graham and Hector also saw hope in traditional medicine.

Graham regretted what he said previously when he wanted to take Annalise as his disciple. Now that he had seen Annalise’s treatment, he knew that her medical skills were better than his. How could he have such a thought? If it wasn’t for the fact that he still had some ego, he would have asked Annalise to take him in as a disciple. Seeing that the patient’s confidence was completely established, Annalise’s lips curled into a gratified smile.

He needed to take care of himself in the later stages. The effect was slow, and it was harder for the patient to persevere. She had to convince the patient that he would indeed recover so that he had the motivation to persevere.

After the acupuncture, Annalise asked someone to pull a bed over. She lay on the bed and demonstrated to the patient, “Sir, follow me. Hold your hands like this and raise your head like this. Raise your legs up at the same time. Every time you feel soreness and swelling, you are doing it right. Hold on for as long as you can. You must grit your teeth and persevere. Maintain this posture at all times.” Annalise did a standard swallow posture.

The patient believed everything Annalise said, so he immediately followed suit. He was worried that he would not be able to lift his legs at all. He did not expect that he would actually do it after trying once. He could control his legs, and it didn’t hurt as much as he had imagined. “Sir, besides this, you have to keep your head up at all times. Raise your head like I am doing. You will feel sore and dizzy. You have to keep doing it,” Annalise said.

“Okay, I’ll try to. I’ll definitely persevere.” The patient had just realized that he could raise his head and lift his feet. Moreover, raising his head and lifting his feet did not hurt so much anymore. He was extremely excited. “He’s healed?” Graham asked Annalise in surprise.

Annalise shook his head. “No, we still have to set the bone a few more times. Things like this can’t be done properly once. Now, the main thing is to correct the patient’s habits. He needs to lift his head and feet more to adjust the physiological curvature back.” Graham and Hector nodded.

The patient could no longer move after doing this a few times. He was tired and wanted to lie down or rest. Annalise encouraged him to persevere. When he could not go on, he would think about how he could not go back to the days when he was paralyzed in bed. Sure enough, Annalise’s words were very useful. The patient insisted on exercising again.
