However, more than 10 years ago, Zhang Rongrong was diagnosed with dementia, Chen Xinjian took care of his wife, and recently Chen Xinjian was interviewed by the TVB program "Early D Knows Early D Doctor" to share his experience and feelings of taking care of his wife.
In the sixth episode, his beloved wife Chen Xinjian shared the experience of taking care of his wife Zhang Rongrong, who has dementia, he pointed out that his wife had run away from home and forgot to turn off the gas stove, and that his wife had slept until midnight and suddenly walked to the living room to take out all the photo albums, but he didn't know what he was doing. Chen Xinjian admits that it is the most difficult point to take care of his sick wife 24 hours a day, and he also has to take care of the feelings of the people around him in addition to the patient himself.
When her daughter learned that her mother didn't recognize her, she was really shocked, and Chan Xinjian played the role of psychological counseling and buffer. Chen Xinjian also said that he smiled at Bo Hongyan, and he played mahjong with his wife from time to time and played nostalgic golden songs for his wife: "For a few seconds, I could see that she was really happy, and it had brought me a lot of comfort." ”
Chen Xinjian once said in an interview that his wife will be unhappy because of the constant scandals due to work: "I am always away from home and there are many scandals, and my wife must be unhappy." I thank her for her tolerance, for making me reflect, and for knowing that I cherish my family. ”
After his wife was diagnosed with dementia, Chen Xinjian concentrated on taking care of his wife: "Every time I go home, I will tell her, 'I'm back, I'm your husband!' I will accompany her to watch cartoons, and sometimes it will be like a repeater, a question is asked 100 times, but I will answer her with a smile, which is considered to be a pleasure in suffering, but I will be so happy if she has a sober smile for 5 seconds!"
Chen Xinjian said that he did not know enough about the disease at that time, and as a result, he ignored the signal sent by his wife: "At that time, I thought that she was coquettish and had a temper, deliberately magnifying the problem to get more attention and love, and then I didn't remember where things were, and I couldn't count when I played mahjong. As a result, Chen Xinjian took his wife to undergo relevant examinations and confirmed that his wife suffered from dementia.
Chen Xinjian also said that his wife is currently in a stable condition, living in her own world, and knows how to eat by herself, but because she can't take the initiative to speak, Chen Xinjian will take some effort to ensure his wife's safety: "Fortunately, I found the worker's sister to help, and the house is equipped with all the nursing equipment that can help take care of my wife, in short, from getting up to sleeping, to ensure that she will not fall and cause complications, and will not go out of the street and disappear by herself." Chen Xinjian also said that whenever he was free, he would sing and coax his wife: "She is just rejuvenating and becoming a BB who needs to be taken care of by me, as long as I see her laughing, I am happy." ”
