Hi, everyone!!! It is Tuesday, January 1, 2008, today. It is cloudy and quite cold, and it seems to be a bit windy around my house.
Oh, I am now coming alive. Why? Because the three, my daughter and her husband plus Yujin, went to Mie yesterday. It is very quiet in my house, and I welcome this “silence” from the bottom of my heart.
I wanted to write about a series of strange happenings I experienced during my trip, yesterday, but virtually I had no time to sit down at my computer.
My bizarre experiences may not be so interesting to some of you, and so in that case, please, skip to the next writer’s message.
I know you are sick and tired of hearing my stories about a variety of physical disorders and ailments. Detailed elucidations of illnesses are not extremely pleasant to our ear and, sometime, sickening and even stressful. Oh, I wish I could avoid talking to you this odd story.
Yes, I had a touch of a cold on the day we left for Ohita. When we arrived at Chubu Airport, I almost collapsed, and so I sat down on one of the luggage trolleys I could find while my daughter was checking in and getting our boarding passes. An airport man came up to me and asked what happened to me, and so I said that I was feverish and could not walk.
He brought a wheel chair and put me in it and pushed it. Anyway I could get on the flight. When we arrived at Fukuoka Airport, a wheelchair awaited me, and thereby we got on the subway and arrived at JR Hakata Station, where we took the Sonic for Usa. By that time I was feeling much better and so we bought box lunches and had them on the Sonic, which was a fairly gorgeous local train.
We arrived at Usa and Nao-chan was there to pick us up, and then we went to her parents’ house, which was a huge house with an unbelievably beautiful Japanese garden.
No sooner had I stepped into the magnificent lounge than the lower part of my left breast started to ache, and it became hard for me to breathe. I had never experienced that type of ache, and Nao-chan’s father, who was the head of his hospital, made arrangements for a doctor for me, and Nao-chan’ s mother took me to the hospital that was next to their palace-like house.
Dr. Abe examined me. I just thought I had caught a cold, and simply wanted some good medicine and went back as soon as possible. By the time his examination finished, my ache had almost disappeared. Then, I just could not believe what I heard from him. He said that I, probably, had contracted pneumonia, and told me to get X-rayed and, his nurse took my blood for a test.
He also told me to get a ct scan. When I saw him again in his treatment room, he seemed quite sure that I had caught pneumonia, a type of pneumonia that is quite hard to cure. Oh, no, no, no. No more sickness.
I was, sort of, astounded, waiting for my medicine to be ready. And his nurse came up to me, and said that the doctor wanted to talk to me again. What happened, I wondered.
No sooner had I entered his room than he pointed out a white spot on the ct film of my upper body, and said that it might be a cancer. What? What did you say? Cancer? No way. No one in my family died of cancer. I do not have any cancer dna. What are you talking about, doctor?
But…what can I say? I am not a medical doctor. A medical doctor is a scientist and makes a statement based on medical data and information. Whereas I have no professional knowledge of medicine.
Anyway, Dr. Abe wrote a letter about his diagnosis and handed it to me along with my ct scan film. He suggested that I should see a doctor for my pneumonia and get a mammogram as soon as possible. Yes, I understand, Dr. Abe.
It is a long, tiring story about what happened to me in Ohita. Thank you for reading this peculiar and weird account of my incidents, my precious friends.
Happy New Year! The new blog design is beautiful. The change is suitable for a new year.
I'm happy to hear from all of you and to feel close each other here. Only we have to share anxiety which Plum currently faces. I even feel anger. What an inept doctor! Pneumonia and cancer are completely different kinds of disease, aren't they? How can one person have both? It beats me.
Tomorrow I will go to a shrine and pray for your health, Plum. Please take care of yourself.
Plum, when I read your comment, it sounded strange. Did the doctor take lungs' x-ray film and use CT scanner? Is it pustule? Did he use a supersonic wave device? Plum, I'm sorry. When I read your comment that you told a strange thing happened, I assumed that it might be a supernatural phenomenon. I am very sorry. I pray that your illness will pass. Please take care of yourself, have a rest and get a good night's rest.
A Happy New Year, Everybody! I have had a big new-year party, inviting my husbands’ brothers family as usual. This party is a great pleasure of my mother-in-law. Because all of her sons and grandchildren meet together and enjoy having a luxurious dinner and drinking and chatting over family’ affairs. Now they left for their homes and I felt released from the annual event and opened Cherry’s blog. Thank you for a new version blog for this year, Cherry. By the way, I cannot understand your strange experience in Oita, Plum. I read your comment twice. I cannot understand what has happened to you. Please check again in Nagoya as soon as possible. And please ease our minds, saying “Oh, that is a mistake.” You are our precious, precious mentor. Please take care of yourself.
Cherry, I love the new style. Thank you very much for your great Otoshidama. Plum, thank you very much for writing to us. You are cool and brave enough to describe what happened. When I finished reading it, my heart started to throb. I’m going to the shrine to pray for you. Please take a good rest. Please do not hesitate to cancel the meeting on Jan. 20. Health is much more important now. We do hope your getting well soon.
Hi, everyone!!! How are you doing? It is the second day of the year 2008. It has been a peaceful day to me.
I just want to let you know the four study areas crucial to feminism: Education Career Politics The home
I hope you have been having fun. Goodnight, my precious friends. Talk to you again tomorrow. (Perhaps, I will talk to you the after tomorrow, because I am going to Osaka very early in the morning with my family by car and be back home, most likely, late at night.)
Hello, friends. Happy New Year. I also like this new style,Cherry.
Plum, are you all right? Isn't your schedule of the trip tight? I can't believe that you are writing and correcting this blog during a trip and under such a bad condition of your health? How strong and persevering you are!
Please take care of yourself. You are such a precious mentor for us as cosmos told before.
Have a tight and sound sleep. I hope your health condition will get better soon.
2008 January 2 A Happy New Year to You! It’s January 2. It’s 8 o’clock.
Cherry, thank you for the renovation of a design for a 2008 Cherry’s Blog. It makes me feel refresh.
Plum, your New Year report astounded me very much. I really want you to see a doctor in Nagoya to find out what caused you a pain on the left breast and Dr Abe’s diagnosis that you might have a cancer was a totally wrong one.
It certainly takes a lot of energy to play a role of granny. You must devote yourself to take care of your little Yujin for over a month. I have an experice that I took care of Manato for three weeks. During that time I devoted all my energy and time to him, but three weeks were just enough for me.
A quiet time and relaxation will be the best remedy for you to improve your physical strength. Please have a good rest awhile.
We had a dinner with a newly married couple on New Year’s Eve and the first and second day of January. Today I made my family’s favorite dishes such as stewed Pork (豚の角煮)、中華ちまき、vegetable soup, potato salad, and Osechi. Yuko chan thanked me very much for my cooking because she could learn how to produce my son’s favorite food. I’m happy she liked all food I cooked tonight. She’s really nice because she always appreciates whatever I did for her.
On the first day of January it’s an annual event for my HD and I to visit a local shrine of Kumano-mae Shrine. It takes ten-minute-walk from my house. I saw crowded people paying a visit to the shrine and praying for something. I wondered how many of them really believe Shin-to.
It’s very strange I am not Shin-to but pay a visit as one of the annual events. My youngest daughter makes it a rule to visit a shrine on the eve of New Year and go to see the first sunrise of the year. I really felt that Japanese people including me are very flexible and careless about religion.
I'm going to have a coffee break with my DH. Good-by, my dear friends.

Dear Cherry and friends,
Happy New Year!

I even feel anger.
What an inept doctor! Pneumonia and cancer are completely different kinds of disease, aren't they? How can one person have both? It beats me.
Tomorrow I will go to a shrine and pray for your health, Plum.
Please take care of yourself.
Cherry, how nice the design is!

Dear Cherry,
A very happy new year to you.
I really love the new blog design you have chosen for this year 2008.
I really, really hope you improve your English skills this year, and I would like to help you do so if you do not mind.
Correction 1.
I hope all of you will enjoy the happier and healther year.
I think this sentence, probably, should be like this:
I hope all of you will have a happier and healthier year.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Hi, everyone!!!
How are you doing?
It is the second day of the year 2008. It has been a peaceful day to me.
I just want to let you know the four study areas crucial to feminism:
Education
Career
Politics
The home
I hope you have been having fun. Goodnight, my precious friends. Talk to you again tomorrow. (Perhaps, I will talk to you the after tomorrow, because I am going to Osaka very early in the morning with my family by car and be back home, most likely, late at night.)
