今日二件目の病院で診察をまっていたら、左鼻から鼻血がいっぱい出ました。
まだ運動や入浴が許されていないものの、なんとなくそろそろ大丈夫かななんて勝手に思い始めてたところでした。
ということで、午後はお昼寝。
たくさん寝ました。
すっきり。
まだ術後1週間ですからね。
While I was waiting for a checkup at the second hospital today, I saw a lot of nosebleed from my left nose.
Although I was not allowed to exercise or take a bath yet, I was beginning to think that I was going to be okay.
So I took a nap in the afternoon.
I slept a lot.
I felt refreshed.
It's only been a week since the surgery.
今日は病院巡り。
先日の副鼻腔炎手術とは別で、肺の定期検診や喘息の定期診察。
鼻はまだ鼻血が出るものの、今朝は鼻うがい後だけだけどやっと鼻が通ったりしました。
ほとんどの時間はまだ全然通ってないのです。
それはそうと。
会社が世界で開国の動きが出ていて、海外でのミーティングの誘いがいくつかきました。
もともと一昨年は海外出張が多そうねと思ってたら、コロナで年初いくつかだけで終わり、その後はすっかり引きこもり。
もともと結構引きこもり傾向にあるので、すっかり出不精になってます。
私、移動全般が得意ではなく、一人では特にあまり好きじゃないのです。
でもそろそろそんなこと言ってられないかもな。
鼻が治ったら、飛行機の着陸時の頭が割れそうな頭痛(頭が爆破しそうになる)もなくなるはず。
それでも出不精は治らないのだけどね。
誰かが一緒だとうれしいんだけ…笑
Today is a hospital tour.
Apart from the sinusitis surgery the other day, regular checkups for lung and asthma.
Although my nose is still bleeding, I could barely pass my nose this morning, although only after gargling.
Most of the time it still doesn't pass at all.
By the way, my company is opening up around the world and I have received several invitations to meetings overseas.
I originally thought that I would have a lot of overseas business trips in the year before last but I ended up in Covid only a few times in the beginning of the year and after that, I have been a complete recluse.
I have always tended to be quite a recluse, so I have become a complete stay-at-home.
I'm not very good at moving around in general and I don't particularly like to be alone.
But maybe it's time to stop saying that.
Once my nose is healed, the head splitting headaches (my head feels like it's going to blow up) when the plane lands should go away.
Still, it won't cure my laziness, though.
I'm just glad someone else is with me…
無事に金曜日終了。
入院中は復帰後のスケジュールをこなせるかかなり不安でしたが、頑張れました。
さすがにぐったり。
お疲れ様でした。
Friday ended without incident.
While in the hospital, I was quite anxious about whether I would be able to handle my schedule after returning to work, but I have done.
I was exhausted.
Great job.
終日外出も無事終了。
マスクを外せないのはきつかった。
飲み物も飲めないし、食べ物もなかなか食べられない。
お腹はさすがに空きましたが、体調はさほど悪くならず。
今週はあとは在宅で。
お疲れ様でした。
The all-day outing ended successfully.
It was tough not being able to take off my mask.
It was hard to drink and eat food.
I was hungry but my health did not get much worse.
I will be home for the rest of the week.
Good job.
月曜日に退院して、夕方からミーティング。
火曜日から完全復帰で在宅勤務。
そしていよいよ水曜日は終日オフィスやお客様先へ。
退院後の自分が全く想像できず、どこまでできるか不安でしたが、これまでのところ、手術後はひたすらよくなるのみ。
回復してる感覚があります。
オンラインミーティングでマスクを外せず、ちょっとおかしな人にはなりましたが、まぁ仕方ない。
明日は外なので絶対に外せないですね。
飲み物飲めるかな…。
なんとかなることでしょう。
鼻はまだ痛いです。
外から見た腫れはだいぶひいて、ほとんどわからないと思います。
出血さえ止まれば、鼻をぶつけない限りは普通の人に見えます。
まだ血が止まらないからなぁ。
それでも血の量は減ってきてはいます。
鼻うがいと薬で止まるのを待ちます。
鼻水は出ます、この季節だし、決して手術で鼻水が出なくなるものでもない。
でも鼻水が喉の刺激になって喘息がひどかった現象は劇的に改善。
喘息がなくなってはいないですが、咳き込んだときの酷さが違う。
これだけでもよかったかも。
ただし、匂いはまだ戻らず。
鼻づまりも解消しない(術後の腫れで)ので、手術の効果は限定的です。
そういえば、手術以来、あまり食欲がなく、食べすぎなくていいかもな。
Discharged from the hospital on Monday, meetings started in the evening.
Fully returned to work from home on Tuesday.
And finally, on Wednesday, I will be in the office and at client sites all day.
I couldn't imagine myself after leaving the hospital at all and was worried about how much I would be able to do, but so far, after the surgery, I am only getting better.
I have the feeling that I am recovering.
I couldn't take my mask off even for the online meeting, which made me a bit of a funny guy, but oh well.
Tomorrow I will be outside, so I definitely can't take it off.
I wonder if I can have a drink...
It will be manageable.
My nose is still sore.
The swelling seen from the outside has gone down a lot and you can hardly tell.
As long as the bleeding stops, I will look like a normal person as long as I don't bump my nose.
I still can't stop the bleeding yet.
Still, the amount of blood is decreasing.
I will wait for it to stop with nasal gargle and medicine.
I do have a runny nose, it's this time of year, and by no means does surgery stop it.
But the runny nose irritates my throat and the phenomenon of severe asthma has improved dramatically.
The asthma is not gone, but the severity of the coughing is different.
This alone could have been a good thing.
However, the smell has not returned yet.
The congestion is also not resolved (due to post-operative swelling), so the effect of the surgery is limited.
Come to think of it, I haven't had much of an appetite since the surgery, so maybe I don't need to eat too much.
そして退院しました。
帰ってくるだけで大変。
今日はいきなり暑いですし。
でも無事に家に戻り、そして荷物の片付けもし、これからお昼ご飯。
その前にプロテインを飲んでます。笑
のんびりしながら少しずつ仕事に戻ります。
Then I was discharged from the hospital.
It's hard just to come home.
It is suddenly hot today.
But I got home safe, cleaned up my stuff, and now I'm going to have lunch.
Before that, I'm taking a protein drink.
I'm going to relax and get back to work little by little.
退院が決まり、薬と会計待ちの状況。
少し仕事について考えてみる。
だいぶ前からわかってたことですが、新たな役割がまた一つ増え、入院中にアナウンスもされました。
5年前にdiversity & inclusion をやり始めたとき、私はその分野では全くの素人でした。
ただ単に、自分自身が子供が3人いながらにしてキャリアをあきらめなかったというだけで。
ということもあり、最初は躊躇していました。
でも今じゃ、すっかりその道もきわめている状態。
新しい役割に関しても、そんなことができるといいなとは思います。
ただし、すでに持ってる仕事だけでかなり忙しい。
どう折り合いをつけるかが最大の鍵で、以前diversity & inclusion に取り組んだときとも違います。
チャレンジですね。
I have been discharged from the hospital and am awaiting medication and an accounting.
Thinking about work a bit.
I've known since the beginning of this year but I have another new role and an announcement was made while I was in the hospital.
When I started doing diversity & inclusion 5 years ago, I was a complete novice in the field.
Simply because I had three children of my own and did not give up on my career.
So I was hesitant at first.
But now, I've mastered the field.
I hope to be able to do that in my new role.
However, I am quite busy with the work I already have.
The biggest key is how to reconcile the two, which is different from when I worked on diversity & inclusion in the past.
It is a challenge.
点滴が外れ、コンビニまで。
カフェラテを買って、デイルームでのんびり。
ものすごくうれしい。
そしたらシャワーも浴びていいと言われ、有頂天になり、浴びてきましたよ。
今パックしてます。
生き返った。
鼻血がだーっと出ることもなかったし。
今回、入院して、改めて医療従事者の方々に感謝。
コロナもあって大変な中、長年の持病とはいえ、緊急性の低いにもかかわらず、手術や回復の面倒を見てくださって本当にお礼しかないです。
手術ってそんなにしたことないけど、毎回もしかしたらこれで何かあれば終わりかもしれないと思いながら臨むんです。
何があるかわからないでしょ。
手術の後に、先生から「手術はうまくいきましたよ」と言われて、本当にうれしかったです。
そのあと、麻酔からの回復や、鼻がずーっとつまってる状況はかなりつらかったですが、無事にここまで回復。
ありがたいと思って、早く完全回復して、また頑張らないと。
The IV was removed finally and we went to the convenience store.
I bought a latte in the photo above and relaxed in the day room.
I'm extremely happy.
Then my nurse told me I could take a shower too and I was so excited, I did.
I'm packing my face now.
I'm back to life.
I didn't even get a nosebleed.
During being hospitalized this time, I am once again grateful to medical staffs.
I can only thank them so much for taking care of my surgery and recovery, even though it was not urgent, even though I had a long-standing chronic illness, even though they are busy in the COVID situation.
I've never had that many surgeries but every time I go in thinking that maybe this is the end of it if something goes wrong.
You never know what might happen.
After the surgery, I was really happy when the doctor told me that the surgery went well.
After that, the recovery from the anesthesia and the situation with my nose being stuck all the time was pretty tough, but I recovered so far without incident.
I'm thankful and I need to make a full recovery soon and get back on track.
今日は鼻に入ってた大きなガーゼを抜いてもらいました。
そしたらだいぶ快適に。
久しぶりに鼻が通った気がします。
昨日は熱があったけど、今日は平熱に。
このまま何もなければ明日退院できそう。
鼻が乾燥しないようにしばらく、鼻には詰め物が必要らしく、マスク外せないね。
ま、このご時世だからまだいいけど。
今は点滴してるけど、点滴が終わったらもう少し動くか。
Today I had the large gauze in my nose removed.
Then I felt much more comfortable.
I feel like my nose is running clear for the first time in a long time.
I had a fever yesterday but today it is normal.
If nothing happens, I will be able to leave the hospital tomorrow.
It seems that I will need to wear a nose stuffer for a while to keep avoiding my nose dry, so I can't take off my mask.
It's okay in these times.
I'm on an IV now, but I should be able to move around a bit more once the IV is finished.
昨日無事に手術を終えました。
昨夜はかなり辛かったですが、だいぶよくなりました。
まだ熱があったり、鼻から血がたくさん出たりしてますので、快適とは程遠い。
早く治るようにゆっくり休みます。
I successfully completed the surgery yesterday.
Last night was quite painful but I am much better.
I still have a fever and a lot of blood coming out of my nose, so I am far from comfortable.
I will take a good rest so that I can heal quickly.
