Hi, friends. I hope all is well with you. I have to tell you that I broke my left leg on the 3rd of May, and have been staying in hospital since then. I will be here until the middle of June, at least. I slipped and fell down in rain in my garden. I was too heavy and my bones were too fragile. I had an surgery on the 8th of May. One titan plate and ten nails are in my leg now. The X-ray film is scaring. I feel as if I were a cyborg now! Friends are visiting me. Every person says, "This is a vacation given to you from Heaven" So I think I will enjoy this unexpected vacation. I can read, listen to the music, watch movies on TV. Three weeks have passed after the operation, and now I am quite fine except my solid left leg. Almost no pain. Many small inconveniences. I have started to move on one leg with two arm-sticks. I am clumsy and my arm-muscle is weak. It would be much easier on a wheel-chair. But my rehabilitation adviser trains me with a thrash! Please don't be worried. I will survive! Doctor advises me that I should keep my left leg higher than my heart. I am trying.  This is almost the end of May. Now I am back home for three hours, but I have not enough time to prepare for my June update of this page. I am sure I can write my July essay. So please see me next month. I hope you will take good care of yourself. Don't walk in the garden on a rainy day. With love, Harumi Okochi May 30, 2004 |
