A person who's suffered such serious injuries is definitely paralyzed, but the specifics still depend on the examination after waking up, and whether later physical therapy can help recover anything.
But there's another issue—Jiang Xiumei hit her head when she fell. Whether she'll even regain consciousness is another matter. Anyway, both surgeries were done together, and the procedure went smoothly, but everything depends on getting through these next 24 dangerous hours.
This news hit like a bolt from the blue. Even though they'd mentally prepared, hearing the doctor say it for real, Grandpa Jiang still found it hard to accept.
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang nearly collapsed off his chair, unable to handle the shock. Thankfully, his two grandsons were right beside him and managed to grab him before he fell.
Still, the scene scared all the adults, "Dad, Dad."
Grandpa Jiang waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine."
