2025.0615, My Wife's Nursing Diary 🔴 Repaying My Wife's Kindness, 〰️ Introducing 🥭
I will let myself write my true feelings for a while...
My wife has breast cancer (*Stage 3) and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
After her 7th chemotherapy session on Thursday, June 12th, she experienced strong side effects, and there are signs that even her brain circuits may have been affected. On Sunday, June 15th, she fell from her waist in the bathroom and was rushed to Juntendo Hospital by ambulance. Today, the second day, is Monday, June 16th.
Last night, I changed my wife's diaper for the first time. When my son was a baby👶, I could change his diapers smoothly, but since my wife weighs 90kg, it was not easy.
My kind eldest son supported me.
On Sunday, June 15th, at 4:00 AM, my wife became unable to move and was rushed to our regular hospital (*Juntendo Hospital), where they put a diaper on her.
The diaper I changed her into was the largest one available at the store, but the hospital's diaper was even bigger and easier to use (*the type you attach and secure from both sides).
Nine years ago, after I had a total prostatectomy for prostate cancer, I suffered from urinary incontinence, and the memory of buying diapers from the hospital came back to me. Hospitals have good diapers.
⏩ On Monday, June 16th, I decided to buy a big, easy-to-use diaper from the Juntendo Hospital shop!
🔴 Although my wife hurt her lower back, there were no abnormalities in her bones, so I decided to take a week off work, provide nursing care while she is bedridden, and wait for her recovery❗
I believe she can recover to the point where she can toddle around like before.
I also want to coordinate with the nursing staff. This is for handling the situation if she remains bedridden for a long time.
【Today's Goals, Monday, June 16th】
・Buy a big, easy-to-use diaper from the Juntendo Hospital shop!
・Find a way to coordinate with the nursing staff
・At my eldest son's request, since my wife's blood pressure is low, confirm whether it is okay to stop her blood pressure medication
【Resolving Worries】
Yesterday, Sunday, June 15th, there was a neighborhood association general meeting. Many people asked about my wife's condition, and I told several of them everything.
Talking about it makes me feel a little better, and I received advice about nursing staff and other things. Everyone around me is so kind...
⤵️ This morning, I found this on YouTube.
The creation of the world is beautifully depicted.
My family home (*in Iwate) is Buddhist, Soto Zen (*Soto-shu). I studied a little about Jesus when I was in my 20s. I respect him...
