In the county hospital, Bai Jianguo and Hao Fang heard the doctor say that this was probably as good as the old lady's recovery was going to get: her mouth was crooked and her eyes askew. She'd have to go home and slowly seek out Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, try acupuncture, and take some Chinese medicinal herbs. There was a chance she could gradually recover, even though the hospital intervention had come late.
But compared to before, at least the old lady wasn't bedridden anymore. She could control her own bowel movements and, though trembling, she was able to take a few steps on the ground with the aid of a walking stick.
This was already considered the best outcome for a stroke.
Bai Jianguo was so angry. They had already spent two hundred yuan for just five days in the hospital, and that didn't even include the family's food and drink. The expense pained him deeply.
And yet, the old lady was still in such a state.
