Mei-Shun came back toward this hair salon, a 5-minute walk from home: she was troubled a little here actually in April. Learning from the 1st candidate shop nearer-by, she told about her problem to the owner lady at the 2nd. “As for dyeing, my advice is to see your accustomed beautician again”, she said. “If you would like cut and shampoo only, we require no reservation”. How convenient it sounds!

Thanks a million not to darling you, but to Ms. Last One today. Almost 2 years might have passed since Mei-Shun danced with her in previous occasion. And it took nearly a whole year for this rider to remember how to canter. Now she would revise the list of classes reserved; which lesson, who is the best to improve her technique? She is pleased to think about it on a cup of 新茶.

The latter lady gave the former a phone call meaning “Yes” on weekend, while this ex-inpatient went out on Ms. Scarlet to see Dr. M today.

… and 3 days have passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital when Dr. A kindly gave her a “Yes” phone call this afternoon. The former lady said that next CT scheduled on 14th, March 2023 could be the last. Well, that scanning is no burden if added to one of half-an-year checks. And her body under neck, above legs are precisely examined. Only good things it has.

Mei-Shun saw Dr. A for a half-an-year check today. There were many outpatients at the hospital, forced her to make a queue for every procedures. Ah, next week has two of our national holidays including Respect-for-the-Aged Day, that might be why. A room to take blood samples were full of elder people. They are lively enough to come here, while most of inpatients are not.
