From Tuesday, Mei-Shun has paid short but everyday visits. The last one, finished this morning, was to a nearby beauty salon. The sooner the better? Well, it made her exhausted anyway. Thanks for your sweet welcome, Tora-chan.

Dentist!
StandardOne of Mei-Shun’s front teeth looks browned. She felt worried about it, wondered if it might be decayed. After a glance, her home dentist said that it was just stained – 5-minute polishing solved the problem. Thanks a million, Dr. M.
Monthly Visit
StandardDr. A told Mei-Shun that she would like to see her every month for a while. There is no reason to say no – one month seems a good timing for a hospital “graduate” to take care of him/herself. One goal per month would be set up.
Pain in Rain
StandardMei-Shun feels a slight pain these days in her scar resulting from the operation. She did not know why, just thought that she might have made too much exercise, until Shin pointed out the reason: a low atmospheric pressure. Ah, they say it often caused pain for samurais wounded by swords in ancient times.
Springtime Oden
StandardIt snows today! It was just a week before that summer-like weather forced cherry trees to bloom in full much earlier. Such a big change in temperature must be dangerous for our health. Mei-Shun therefore prepared oden, stew of vegetables and fish balls simmered in an earthen pot. Horse radish has been replaced by spring cabbage, to whom she expects an effect to keep you warm.
Hard to Diet
StandardMei-Shun has lost weight during her hospitalization, partly thanks to healthy, ever-ready-to-eat meals. Since she gained permission to go home, however, it has got a bit difficult to diet; she has to prepare everything to eat by herself …
Sweet Home
StandardNice Nurses
StandardMs. H, one of the most soft-touch ladies ever seen, took care of Mei-Shun as a young mother at the hardest night after operation. She is interested in learning English. Ms. T has been found to be vice-head nurse. She looks boyish, maybe therefore very friendly and kind. Her best point is being an incredible listener to patients’ voice.
