The lost Heart(CASTELLANOS SERIES#1)

Chapter 13

sinanggi ko yung baril at sinipa yung lalaking nagtutuk saakin, thank god at marunong akong lumaban kahit hinde naman ganon kahusay

Pagkasipa ko sakanya tinadyakan ko ulit sya nakita ko pang nagiyakan yung iba, lumayo ako sakanila at sinipa pa yung isang lalaki na tumutok ng baril sa mga Civilian,kinuha ko yung baril na hawak nya at hinagis sa kung saan atsaka ko sinipa ang mukha nya,natumba naman sya at gusto pang tumayo pero mabilis kong dinaganan ang dibdib nya at sinapak sya ayun tulog

Yung ibang soldiers kumuha ng tali at tinalian ang mga Terorista,at ang mga civilian naman pinipilit ipinapahinahon ng kasama namin,nakaramdam naman ako ng hilo dahil biglang

Lumindol, sumigaw yung mga soldiers na mag duck, cove and hold, pero hinde maintindihan ng mga civilian kaya trinanslate ng isa sa kanila na mag cover inalalayan ko silang tumakbo papunta sa lugar na hinde kami masasaktan,pinauna ko na sila ng bigla gumuho yung bakal na tinatayuan ng bubong ng court tumatakbo ako papunta sa mga civilian pero biglang may bumagsak sa harap ko na mga bakal at meron pang usok na nanggagaling 

May narinig ako iyak ng bata na malapit sa pwesto ko kaya napatingin ako dun nakita ko yung bata na umiiyak habang yakap-yakap yung sarile nya natatabunan sya ng mga bakal,tumakbo ako sa pwesto nya at tinanggal yung mga bakal na nakaharang sakanya

Nahirapan ako dahil ang bibigat ng mga bakal ng matanggal ko na yung nga bakal nilahad ko yung kamay ko sakanya napatingin naman sya dun at tumingin saakin

"Hold on"parang naiintindihan nya yun dahil kumapit sya sa kamay ko hinatak ko naman sya patayo at binuhat sya tumakbo kami papalis dun pero may nagbagsakan na mga bakal kaya mas umiyak yung bata

Hinde ako makahanap ng daan dahil hinde ako maka consentrate dahil sa iyak ng bata,pilit ko syang pinapatahan pero ayaw nyang tumahan hinde nya siguro naiintindihan

Napatingin ako sa taas ng biglang may tumunog dun,nagulat ako ng pabagsak saamin,hinde ako makatakbo dahil may mga nakaharang ng mga bakal kaya hinarang ko yung sarile ko para protektakhan yung bata, napasigaw ako sa sakit ng tumama sa likod ko yung bumagsak

"You ok?"tanong ko sa bata pero tanging hikbi lang yung sagot nya saakin,humarap ako sa taas pero dapat hinde ko na ginawa dahil biglang napuwing yung mata ko at bigla nanamang may bumagsak, tumalikod ulit ako at humarap sa bata

"Shhh,makakaalis din tayo dito" pagpapatahan ko kahit hinde nya maintindihan,binigay ko sa bata yung pito na nasa bulsa ko,tinuro ko sakanya kung pano gamitin yun nakuha naman nya,

May naririnig ulit akong mga iyakan at meron ng siren akong naririnig kaya inutusan ko yung bata na gamitin na yun,nakuha naman nya kaya pinatunog nya yung pito nya at may narinig naman akong ingay ng bakal

Pumipikit na rin yung mata ko pero mas pinili kong idilat yun dahil hinde ko alam kung meron pang babagsak at baka matamaan yung batang nasa harap ko na prinoprotektahan ko sa babagsak saamin,ang sakit nadin ng likod ko at kumikirot ang ulo ko hinawakan ko yung noo ko nakita kong may dugo

Napapikit ako sa sakit,pumipito parin yung bata,tumigil lang sya ng tumingin sya sa likod ko, maramdaman ko din yung pagtanggal ng mabigat sa likod ko,namamanhid nadin ang likod ko,may bumuhat saakin napatingin ako dun,yung captain nila,nakita ko ang pag-aalala sa mukha nya

"Don't close your eyes"malambing nyang wika pero gusto ko ng ipikit ang mata ko

"Yung bata" nauutal kong wika sabay turo sa bata,nakita kong binuhat yun ng isang sundalo,napahawak naman ako sa batok ni captain ng ayusin nya yung pagkakahawak nya saakin

Unti-unting bumibigay ang pilikmata ko gusto ko naring matulog pero pinipilit ko dahil baka hinde nako magising,hanggang sa tuluyan na nga ko nawalan ng malay

"Ouch"napahiyaw ako dahil sa sakit ng likod ko at ng ulo

"hey, what's hurt?"napatingin ako sa nanggaling na boses na yun,halatang wala syang tulog dahil may eyebags na sya at pumupungay pa yung mata,gulo-gulo pa yung buhok nya

"What's hurt?,I call the doctor"saad nya at lumabas, napatingin naman ako kung nasan ako nasa loob kami ng isang room,at alam kong hospital yun, napakunot ang noo ko

Napatingin ako sa Pinto ng biglang bumukas yun at pumasok ang isang doctor kasunod si captain

"How do you feel ?, Is your back numb?"Tanong ng doctor tumango naman ako

"A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord. It's an extremely serious type of physical trauma that's likely to have a lasting and significant impact on most aspects of daily life."

"The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves and other tissue that the vertebrae of the spine contains and protects. The vertebrae are the bones stacked on top of each other that make up the spine. The spine contains many nerves, and extends from the brain's base down the back, ending close to the buttocks."

"The spinal cord is responsible for sending messages from the brain to all parts of the body. It also sends messages from the body to the brain. We're able to perceive pain and move our limbs because of messages sent through the spinal cord."

"If the spinal cord sustains an injury, some or all of these impulses may not be able to "get through." The result is a complete or total loss of sensation and mobility below the injury. A spinal cord injury closer to the neck will typically cause paralysis throughout a larger part of the body than one in the lower back area."

Wala akong naintindihan kaya tumango nalang ako kahit hinde ko gets basta meron Spinal cord at Injury

"What is the effect of causing his spinal cord?"tanong ni captain

"A spinal cord injury damages the spinal cord itself or nearby tissues and bones. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may lose function or mobility in different parts of your body. Treatments include surgery, medication and physical therapy. A newer approach looks to tap working nerves."sabi pa ng doctor napatango nalang ako

"How does a spinal cord injury affect in my body?"Tanong ko

" The body loses many essential functions if an injury means nerves can't communicate with the brain. A damaged spinal cord can affect"napatango ulit ako

"How's my spinal cord?"tanong ko ulit

"Other Types of Spinal Cord Injury

There are other less common types of spinal cord injury that affect specific areas of the spinal cord."

"Anterior Cord Syndrome (sometimes called Ventral Cord Syndrome) is caused by lack of blood flow or lack of oxygen (infarction) to the front two thirds but not the back of the spinal cord and in a part of the brain called the medulla oblongata. The result is loss of motor, pain and temperature sensations but where your body is in space (proprioception) and vibration sensations remain from the level of injury down. Individuals with Anterior Cord Syndrome will note their body position by visually observing their environment as opposed to sensing where their body is positioned."

"Central Cord Syndrome is usually caused most often by a fall with over stretching (hyperextension) of the neck. Loss of function occurs from the neck to the n****e line which includes the arms and hands. The torso has variable function and sensation. The lower body has unaffected function but variable to total lack of sensation. Individuals with this type of injury usually retain the ability to walk but might have poor balance. Central Cord Syndrome occurs most often in elderly individuals due to decreased flexibility with age."

"Posterior Cord Syndrome results in loss of light touch, vibration and position sense starting at the level of injury. Motor function remains. It is caused from trauma, compression of any length of the back side of the spinal cord, tumors and Multiple Sclerosis."

"Brown-Séquard Syndrome is noted by one side of the body with motor function loss and the other side of the body with sensation loss. Depending on the location of the injury, the result can be presented as tetraplegia or paraplegia. Brown Sequard Syndrome can be caused from a tumor, injury, ischemia (loss of oxygen), puncture, infection or Multiple Sclerosis (MS)."

"Cauda Equina is an injury to the nerve roots below L2 which results in leg weakness, bowel incontinence, urinary retention and s****l dysfunction."

"Conus Medullaris can be caused from an injury or disease affecting the core of nerves inside the nerve root. Injury to this area results in an incomplete spinal cord injury affecting leg function, bowel, bladder and s****l function. Pain is typically present."

"Cord Concussion results from a bump to the spinal cord. Much like a concussion to the brain, the spinal cord can be bruised or have message disruption for about 48 hours with possible return of function thereafter. As with brain concussion, long term dysfunction of various types can occur. Cord concussion is sometimes referred to as a 'stinger' especially in the sporting world."

"Tethered Cord is an attachment of the spinal cord to the tissues in the tract where the spinal cord is housed in the body. This typically is an anatomical anomaly formed as a fetus and not detected until birth or later in early childhood. Sometime, tethered cord is not detected until adulthood. Surgery can release the cord if necessary. Tethered cord can appear after spinal cord injury due to complications of the injury."

"Spina Bifida and other neural tube diseases occur in fetal development. The spinal cord does not form in the enclosed space of the vertebrae. In utero surgery (surgery before birth) can possibly correct spinal placement before a baby is born. Surgery after birth can correct the placement but with mixed results. Taking folic acid (vitamin B9) during pregnancy can reduce the risk of spina bifida. A vitamin like molecule, Inositol, is being tested to assess if prevention of neural tube defects is possible."

" Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor or miss work, and it is a leading cause of disability worldwide."

Fortunately, you can take measures to prevent or relieve most back pain episodes. If prevention fails, simple home treatment and proper body mechanics often will heal your back within a few weeks and keep it functional. Surgery is rarely needed to treat back pain."

Medyo napuruhan daw ang spinal cord ko kaya kailangan ipa surgery,napangiwi ako sa sakit ng umupo ako nandito parin pala kami sa Myanmar,pero hinihintay lang daw na gumaling yung iba atsaka kami uuwi lahat sa kanila-kanilang bansa,hinde ko alam kung na approved na yung binigay kong sulat sa president tungkol sa baby,kapag gumaljng na ang ako atsaka lang ako haharap at kakausapin yung president tungkol sa baby

"Hey, eat this, to make your stomach full because you slept for 4 days and you need to eat it"napatingin ako kay captain,nagulat ako dahil sa loob ng 4 na araw ay tulog ako

"Where's damiel?"I asked he sighed heavily and face with me

"He didn't visiting you in 4 days,he won't had care about you" napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi nya

"May pake sya saakin, baka inaalagaan nya lang yung baby,kaya hinde sya makadalaw o kaya naman busy sya sa panggagamot"pagtatanggol ko kay damiel, huminga syang malalim

"Okay,But you need to eat this"wika nya,nilapit nya yung utensils saakin at tinapat sa bibig ko,binuka ko naman ang bibig kk at kinain yung lugaw

Atat na atat nakong mag pa surgery,pero kailangan ko paring maghintay ng ilang araw dahil sa pilipinas ako mag papa surgery ayun ang sabi ni captain dahil kulang daw sa gamit ang hospital dito dahil narin sa pagsabog kaya yung ibang gamit na pang hospital ay naging abo narin

Hinde parin ako dinadalaw ni Damiel,at alam kong hinde rin makadalaw sila milo saakin dahil kailangan nilang tumulong sa iba lalo na at tapos na ang mga putukan dahil nahuli na daw yung mga Terorista at namatay ang pinuno nila ayun ang kwento ni Captain saakin

Halos araw-araw lang akong nakahiga minsan lang ako makaupo dahil kakain ako o iinom,kapag mag c-cr ako inaalalayan ako ng nurse,nahinga ako ng malalim dahil nakatingin lang ako sa kisame habang nag iisip ng kung ano-ano
