今週の週末も本来は講演会の予定があったのですが，家人の入院で数週間前にピンチヒッターを紹介し，お断りをしました。ご迷惑をおかけしましたが，この決定は正解でした。
昨日，急遽，病院から連絡があり，家人の退院が決まり，午前10:00に迎えに行きました（大枚を支払ってきました）。退院とはいっても，「無事退院」ではなく，これから outpatient として病院での経過診断があります。また数ヶ月後には再入院の予定と告げられており，安心はできません。左手が使えないので，私の家事修行は続きます。
そんな中，今朝の日本テレビ「ストレイトニュース」（11:25~11:40）では英国王室のキャサリン妃のことを取り上げた英国のニュースに言及し，同妃の発言「森の中から抜け出していない」を紹介していました。
これを耳にした瞬間，原文は "not out of the woods yet" だろうと推測しました。当たっていました。
Princess Kate making “good progress” but “not out of the woods” after cancer diagnosis | BBC News

not out of the woods yet は「《be ～》まだ危機を脱したわけではない，〔主語の〕問題はまだ完全解決していない，〔主語にとって・主語について〕安心するのはまだ早い」（「英辞郎」）という意味の比喩表現です。
"If something or someone is not out of the woods yet, they are still having difficulties or problems."
[informal] The nation's economy is not out of the woods yet.

日テレがあえて比喩を踏まえずに文字通りの訳でニュースにしたのかどうかは分かりませんが，家人のこともあり，耳にとまった次第です。（UG）
The Princess of Wales says she is making “good progress” after her cancer diagnosis and will attend Trooping the Colour on Saturday.
This will be her first public appearance this year following the diagnosis, and her abdominal surgery in January.
But in a personal message, Catherine says her treatment is still ongoing and will continue for another few months.
"I am not out of the woods yet," says the princess.
This is the most significant update on Catherine's health since revealing in March she had cancer, in a statement written in her own words.
It is accompanied by a new photograph of the princess, taken by photographer Matt Porteous, which shows her near her home in Windsor.
But there is caution with the positive message.
“As anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she says.
"On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well," says the princess.
"I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal."
