Elf Ranger Lin Fan

The effect of the anesthesia faded slowly. Feeling the faint tingling from his left hand and the uncontrollable weird feeling, Lin Fan propped himself up with his right hand and let out a light sigh of relief.

"How do you feel?" Luna's voice sounded beside her.

"It's okay, but the fingers hurt a little." Lin Fan shook his head, looked at the drawn curtains, "What time is it?"

"11:30 in the evening." Luna looked at Lin Fan, "Want to eat something?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Fan smiled softly when he heard Luna's question.

"Whatever you want to eat, I can do it for you." Luna reached out to hold Lin Fan's left hand, "Is there really nothing wrong with the hand?"

"There is really no problem, don't worry." Lin Fan smiled lightly, he looked at Luna, "Well, please Luna, please help me cook a bowl of noodles."

Luna was a little hesitant, but seeing that Lin Fan didn't seem to have any special feelings, she felt a little relieved and nodded slightly, "Well, take a rest first, I'll be right back."

"Yeah." Lin Fan watched Luna walk out of the ward, took a deep breath, frowned and looked at his left hand.

The gathering of Ainduooke was already a matter of yesterday, and today is about to pass.

After returning to the Quartz Plateau, Lin Fan naturally submitted an action report, and was then pushed to the hospital for a series of physical examinations. He originally thought that after the waveguide was eradicated, his body had recovered after missing two fingers. normal.

At the end of the physical examination, Lin Fan did get the result he expected. Lin Fan's body had returned to the normal level, but after a series of examinations, a serious problem appeared.

Lin Fan's left hand was in the defense of the four islands at the time, and the little finger and ring finger cut off by the steel wire had a rejection reaction at the contact position of the mechanical finger.

In further examination, Lin Fan showed considerable pain.

This painful feeling even surpassed the pain of the finger being cut off.

Phantom limb pain.

The mechanical fingers were dismantled, and now Lin Fan shook his head helplessly seeing a small part of his palm missing.

Even with the effect of the anesthetic, the muscles in the palm of his left hand were still twitching. Even though he didn't feel much pain, Lin Fan knew that it was just that the electrical signal transmitted from his nerve endings to the brain was slowed down by the effect of the anesthetic. A condition that the brain barely perceives.

Luna was holding her hand just now, so she must have felt it too.

However, phantom limb pain is just a subconscious feeling. The brain is looking for the missing limb, but it can only create painful feelings for itself.

Lin Fan had heard of this kind of disease in his previous life, but he never imagined that it would appear on his body.

There is no effective treatment at all. This is just the subconscious feeling of the brain. Apart from overcoming it by oneself, there is no radical cure. Otherwise, it is to use anesthetics or analgesics, but Lin Fan cannot accept this kind of treatment. .

Moreover, that kind of treatment is only a palliative, not a permanent cure.

Lin Fan slowly raised his weak left hand, looked at the three fingers curled up subconsciously, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is this a change from a hand to a claw?"

There was a light knock on the door, and Lin Fan said, "Please come in."

Originally thought it was Luna, but Lin Fan never expected that it would be Luna's parents and younger brother who opened the door and walked in.

Uncle Banzath, Mama Luna and Seth.

"Brother-in-law, are your hands okay?" Seth looked at Lin Fan's left hand curled up in front of him, and looked at Lin Fan's with some worry.

"Barely it's okay." Lin Fan smiled lightly. He didn't need to show frustration. It was just a phantom limb pain. Even if it couldn't be cured, as long as he could endure and get used to the pain, it wouldn't have much effect, just Because of phantom limb pain, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to do things with my left hand in the future.

Because of the phantom limb pain, the mechanical fingers cannot be used.

The transmission of electrical signals is entirely the signal of pain. When the brain processes the irritating electrical signal of pain, it has an instinctive reflex to deal with the pain. It is like being accidentally burned by a fire, and it will withdraw its hand for a reason.

Painful electrical signals are always transmitted from the extremity of the severed limb, and in the face of painful electrical signals, the brain will react subconsciously and instinctively in response to the pain. It is impossible for Lin Fan to concentrate on his left hand forever to fight the brain Instinctive reflex, so Lin Fan can't control the mechanical limb connected to the severed limb. Three fingers, for a human being, it is really troublesome to do things.

"Really. Is there any problem?" Luna's mother looked at Lin Fan's lowered hand. Because of the previous treatment, the position of the severed limb where the mechanical finger was removed looked very different from the normal-colored skin next to it, pale. His skin, without a trace of blood, looked not only terrifying, but also ugly.

But the more important reason is that the state of the hand, the three fingers twitch subconsciously from time to time, and the muscles on the back of the hand seem to be lurking under the skin, jumping from time to time, as if they are independent of Lin Fan's control, being controlled by Lin Fan. Something is parasitic.

"I will overcome it. Compared with the problem of waveguide, two fingers are not too much trouble." Lin Fan smiled softly, "And it's just a phantom limb pain, as long as the brain accepts the fact in the future , it will not appear again, the reason for this situation may be because when the waveguide was removed, the reality that was reversed made my brain accept that [Lin Fan] is already completely healthy."

"The mind is very clear." Seeing Lin Fan's gentle smile, Uncle Banses nodded slightly, and even sighed a little, "Your ability to accept the facts really surpasses that of an adult like me who has seen big storms. I'm ashamed of myself."

Lin Fan just returned a slight smile and didn't say much.

For accepting the facts, Lin Fan has already experienced it once, and that kind of acceptance is not comparable to the current small fights.

I suddenly lost everything I knew, and was cut off from everything in the previous life. I need to survive alone in this world as a child. The efforts of one person, from the initial panic, anger, to indifference, finally accepted it. In terms of psychological process.

It was just a phantom pain.

Even with just two fingers, Lin Fan doesn't care much about other people's opinions, so the impact on life will eventually get used to it slowly.

after all
At least I'm still alive, and this pain reminds me even more.

There are so many people who are worried about me.
