Chapter 48 Core

Tang En's work and rest time was finally normal - it was said that it was normal because he could sleep until night, wake up in the morning, and eat normally for three meals a day.

He felt that he had no problem and could go through the discharge procedures immediately. But Stanley Mayer firmly disagreed. He believed that he should continue to observe, so until now, Tang En still lives in the intensive care unit, and Shania takes care of his daily life.

During this period, Tang En received a lot of calls, all of whom were concerned about him and asked about his physical condition. His answers were all "I feel good, thank you!"

Most of the people who care about him were his friends. Friends in Nottingham came to visit him in person, chat together, and help Don An relax and relieve his emotions. The team's players entrusted George Wood and Eastwood to come and sent flowers and greetings. In order to prevent Don An An from being emotional again, they did not talk about the team's current situation, and Don An did not ask. It seemed that he was determined to be a hand-off manager.

Friends who were not locally called and sent greetings. For example, Des Walker, Ian Bowyer, and the old Forest officials of Brian Clauve's era also expressed concern for the current head coach of the Forests.

Don even received a greeting call from Michael Bernard from the distant United States, which moved him so much.

Others who expressed their greetings to him were the head coaches of Premier League teams. No matter how powerful they were on the court before, they seemed to have a grudge against their father. At this time, those things were forgotten.

Roy Keane called, Alan Hiller called. Even the head coach of Benitez who was crushed by the Forest team for three consecutive years sent text messages to greet him.

Evan and Allen also visited him once in the hospital, saying what Tang had already said, and told him to take good care of his illness and not think about anything.

Arsenal's head coach Wenger and Manchester United's head coach Ferguson even made a special trip from London and Manchester to visit Donn. This made him feel very good in those two days.

He used to think that his stinky mouth and personality made him offend all the people in the circle, but now he is in such a disaster. Those opponents must be laughing secretly. Unexpectedly, these people still care about their health. He felt a little accomplished in his heart - I, Tony Tangen, have a good relationship with others!

Once he is in a good mood, his heart will work more and more normally. Stanley Meyer's smile is gradually increasing. Shania will no longer be worried - in fact, this is what Tang En cares most about.

These days, Xianya has become much haggard. She wants to go on the show again, and she probably doesn’t have to control her weight.

In fact, the Premier League head coaches expressed their concern for Don Eun, and the more likely reason was that Tony. The sudden collapse of the head coach of Don Eun, a landed coach at the age of 40, made them feel a little chill in the winter just after Christmas - everyone is the same, and no one is less stressed than others. Now seeing Don Eun lying on the hospital bed and unable to continue working, it makes them a little scared - will this be their future? On one day I suddenly fell on the side of the game or training field? Will I die because of this? Tony. Don Eun was rescued after being unconscious for twenty-four hours. He is lucky. And it has a lot to do with him being only forty years old. So what about us old men? When it is suddenly our turn, are we ready? Do we still have such good luck? Can our aging body survive this cold winter?

Wenger's words in an interview after visiting Don Eun almost represent the common voice of all Premier League head coaches: "I hope Tony is still so keen, full of fighting spirit, withstand pressure and overcome his heart. The last thing I want to see is his fall. Seeing him in this position for many years, I think I may be the next one..."

Ferguson also said: "I installed a pacemaker four years ago. I can understand Tony Tangen's feelings at this time. He felt that everything in the world was under control, but he was knocked down by the heart and pressure. I can only use the experience of people who have experienced it to tell him that this is no big deal. I am already sixty-eight years old. But I still do well in this position, receiving strong stimulation for at least ninety minutes a week. I am full of energy and don't feel tired at all. If possible, I want to continue working."

Roy Keane expressed his hope for Don Eun in short words: "I have fully felt the different feelings this new job brings to me. If he can return to the coaching seat, I think he will become a hero for all of us. By then. I will applaud him when our two teams fight."

No one wants to be the second "Tony Done", and no one wants Done to fall down. Because that will make them feel a little desperate - is this the destination of a football coach?

The greatest head coach in Suzhou Premier League history, Tyne, died on the court due to a heart attack; Liverpool's former head coach Hollier suffered a heart attack in the middle of the game with Leeds, and it took eleven hours to escape; Nottingham Woodland legend head coach Brian Crowe even said, "If necessary, I would rather shoot my grandmother just to change three-pointers"; Taylor resigned from Aston Villa because he could not bear the huge pressure; Forty-one-year-old former Newcastle head coach Glen Rhode was diagnosed with a cerebral thrombosis after changing his heart; in 2004, Ferguson installed a pacemaker for his heart just in case...

These examples are sufficient.

Now it's the turn of the world who is not afraid of the world, thinking that no one in the world can subdue his "King of the Forest" Tony Don?

The observation days lasted for a week. One day, Meyer found him again. After checking all the indicators of his body, he made a negotiation tone and said to Tang En, "Mr. Tang En. How about pretending to be a gadget here?" He pointed to Tang En's heart.

Tang En wondered: "What are you pretending?"

"A cute little thing - a pacemaker."

This term scared Tang En.

"That's not the old man..."

"As long as there is a problem with the heart rhythm, it is possible to pretend. It is not necessarily the patent of the elderly, Mr. Tang En." Mayer was particularly kind today.

Tang En muttered in his heart.   Didn’t Stanley say that the situation is getting better day by day in the past few days? Why did he suddenly install a pacemaker for himself again? Could it be...is the situation actually worse?

"The teacher told me, Stanley. Is my heart no longer possible?" he frowned and asked with a serious expression.

After asking this, Tang En could feel that Shaniya, who was holding her hand beside her, used some strength again.

Unexpectedly, Stanley Meyer laughed: "You recovered well, Mr. Tangen. But once it's broken, it's broken once." He pointed to Tangen's heart and said. "We can't make sure there will be no problems here in the future. Besides, your own situation determines... unless you plan to resign from Nottingham Forest. And you will never be the job of professional football coaching in the future. In that way, you may still control your emotions. Are you willing to accept my advice? Mr. Tangen."

Tang En didn't expect that he heard this. He told him not to be a professional football coach?

Stop kidding!

What else would I do besides this? Not being a head coach. Are you eating at home and waiting to die?

He suddenly thought of the dream he had when he was in a coma.

I will never live that kind of life again... Everything that happens here is my life now, and I may also fail. Maybe I am lying on a hospital bed like this, but I have fought here and will continue to fight.

"Hey, Stanley. I really don't know what else I can do besides doing this." Tang En smiled.

Stanley Meyer also laughed: "Look. I knew you would give this kind of answer. So I asked you directly if you want to install a pacemaker, instead of asking you if you want to quit your job as a coach. Listen to me, Mr. Tang En. The profession you are engaged in is a high-risk occupation for heart patients. The most wise cardiology and cardiac surgeon in the world cannot guarantee that a coach who has heart disease will not relapse again... and the probability of recurrence is terrible. Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Here, Meyer paused.

Tang En signaled him to continue talking with his eyes.

"One year, ITV installed an instrument specifically for two Premier League head coaches to detect their pulses, allowing them to carry this instrument to take part in the game. Generally speaking, the pulse of a normal person's heartbeat is between 60 and 100 times a minute. But the number of ground displayed on the instrument is twice that of this standard! Generally speaking, such a heartbeat will only occur in astronauts and stock trading bankrupts..." Meier spreads his hands. "I can't guarantee that your heart will not have problems again after being in such a heartbeat environment for a long time."

Tang En found that Shania was holding her hands tighter and tighter. He glanced at Shania with a nervous look on her face, then turned her head and smiled at Meyer, "I'm afraid I can't reply you right now. Can I let me consider it?"

Mayer pushed his glasses: "This is what it should be. After all, this is not as common as going out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

He turned around and said goodbye.

Tang En looked at Shania. He knew Shania had something to say, and he probably had guessed what Shania was going to say.

But Shania didn't speak.

The two of them looked at each other, and in the end, Tang En defeated first: "I know what you are going to say, Xianya. You want to persuade me to resign, right?"

Shania nodded.

"But this time I can't listen to you.  Shaniya."

Shania raised her mouth: "Why? Isn't life important enough?"

"Life is of course important, especially for someone like me who has died once, there is no more important thing in this world than having life. But..." Tang En's tone followed a turning point, "but there is something as important as life - living."

"Isn't that the same thing?" Shania frowned, she couldn't understand Tang En's words.

"Of course it's different.  Living is not just about having life.  Shania..." Tang En stared at the little fairy in front of him, "Your Uncle Tony is a very incompetent person. You can't do anything except being the head coach.   If I were asked to quit this job, then even if I have a hundred years of life, I wouldn't be considered alive.   You and Football.   It's evidence that I live in this world, and I don't want to give up either."

Yes, it was you who made me feel that I was not dreaming now, and I had not dreamed for the past five years.   It was not long, but I had left some marks of my own in this world.  If you abandon football, the mark will gradually disappear with the passage of time and no one will remember me anymore.   There is no evidence of existence and the meaning of continuing to exist, so what can you do with life?

The walking zombie, eating and waiting to die, living alone, living a life of silence... These words should not appear in my life dictionary.

who I am?

The young clerk in Chengdu, Tang En died when he was twenty-six years old! Now I am Tony Tang En, who is forty years old, and is the head coach of Nottingham Forest Land!

Shania's sigh broke the tranquility of the room.

"I knew Uncle Tony would definitely say that, you are the kind of virtue." She shrugged and spread her hands, "If you don't let you touch football, you will feel more uncomfortable than death... As long as there is football, you can even forget me... To be honest, Uncle Tony. I have been jealous of football many times."

Tang En smiled and hugged Xianya: "It won't be from now on.  Your position in my heart is the same..."

Unexpectedly, Shaniya smiled instead of anger: "How can you comfort people like this? The normal saying shouldn't be to look at me affectionately and say, 'From now on, you will be the number one in my mind'? Well, I promise you. But please be careful of your health, and don't take my words as a warning this time."

Tang En nodded vigorously: "Don't worry.   My life is still long."

People who are not afraid of death often lose their concern and attachment to the world, so they can die with mercy. Now Tony Tangen is terrible...

Stanley Meyer is a good understanding doctor. The way he prepared for Don Eun is to have the best of both worlds, without having to worry about sudden death or giving up football for it. It is indeed a good idea to install a pacemaker in the chest cavity.

Some people may think that it is a bit exaggerated for people in their forties to install pacemakers, but for Tang En, who almost died, this issue of face is not within his consideration.

Both he and Shania agreed to undergo the surgery to install a pacemaker.

Before the operation, Meier provided many pacemakers for them to choose from. Of course, his most recommended is the improved r-wave suppression pacemaker. And Tang En also likes this pacemaker the most because it is an on-demand pacemaker.

When the patient's heart rate is normal or higher than the fixed pulse frequency of the pacemaker, the pacemaker does not play any role. Once the heartbeat rhythm is lower than the natural frequency of the pacemaker, that is, the ventricular electrode cannot sense the r waves of its own rhythm, the pacemaker will wait for a predetermined period of time and immediately issue pulses according to the inherent pacemaker to let the heart enter a working state. This is the most commonly used and most convenient pacemaker now.

Other pacemakers are not suitable for Tangen's situation.

In terms of pacemaker power, Tang En expressed his hope that there will be a battery that can be used for a long time and does not need to be replaced - he really doesn't like to come to the hospital, and staying here for half a month this time made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Besides, replacing the battery itself is a very dangerous operation, so this risk can be taken less.

Stanley Meyer smiled after hearing this special request from Donn, because he thought of something: "Although most pacemaker batteries are claimed to be able to last ten years, and in fact, they only last four or five years, but in fact, five years is not short... Well, if you have to do it for a long time and don't need to replace the battery... There is a power battery that should meet your requirements."

“What is it?”

Mayer snapped his fingers: "Nuclear battery."

When Shania heard the word "nuclear", she widened her eyes. She looked pale. She was obviously scared. Everyone knows what "nuclear" is. What are the dangers?

Tang En obviously had the same concern, but he did not show it clearly.

Mayer smiled and explained to them: "The technology of nuclear batteries is already very perfect. You don't have to worry about radiation. The maximum radiation dose is the same as the amount of phosphor on a luminous watch. In a year, the total radiation dose received by the human body is only equivalent to the dose of chest x-ray fluorescence. The battery is sealed very strictly, and the nuclear substance inside cannot be leaked. And even if there is a risk of leakage, installing a mercury battery will not reduce this risk. Once leaked, both mercury batteries and nuclear batteries will be a huge harm to the body. So the safety standards in this regard are very strict. "

Speaking of this, Mayer touched his chin and pondered: "I also think it is very necessary to require a battery with a longer service life... After all, the surgery to replace the battery also poses a huge risk, and it is also very inconvenient for Mr. Tang En's work... It is best not to turn on this kind of thing implanted under the skin. Nuclear batteries are indeed a good choice!" He louder, as if he agreed with this idea. "Now there are 136 patients in the UK who have installed a cardiac pacemaker for nuclear batteries. The longest patient has been working for 34 consecutive years without any trouble, and there is no sign of exhaustion at all. You should know that most patients have to come to the hospital for a surgery to replace the pacemaker battery in two to three years. How does it seem that nuclear batteries are very cost-effective."

Tang En whistled: "And it sounds cool too. That's it, a nuclear-powered pacemaker!"

Five days later, Donn was pushed into the operating room, and Dr. Stanley Meyer personally took the surgery to install this extraordinary pacemaker for him.

Three hours later, the Royal Medical College Affiliated Hospital held a press conference to announce to all media that the surgery to install a pacemaker was very successful. From now on, Tang En had a nuclear-powered heart.
