Sigh of relief: no problem in Mei-Shun’s current condition, Dr. A said. Just one thing is clear – gaining weight affects the scar resulting from the operation. The more it is pulled outward, the wider it would be. It is therefore very important for a thinner, better scar to lead a good diet.

A Shock!
StandardThis weighing scale is broken, isn’t it? Five weeks have passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital. She had made it – lost a good weight, felt no pain and fine. However, it is never easy to keep such condition. A tire has begun to grow up around her waist little by little to date, and … does it cause a pain in the scar as well?
Shall you dance?
StandardTwo months have passed since Mei-Shun had the operation. It looks easy to live a normal life at home, yet only for you in normal health. For an ex-patient, it is quite difficult to do similar to yesterday. However, she could not but going forward little by little, as much as possible. Let’s resume practice. Why don’t you put on kimono?
Busiest Week
StandardDentist!
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 Horse radish has been replaced by spring cabbage, to whom she expects an effect to keep you warm.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 …
