Fall Checkup 2022/秋の検診2022

A sleeping pill is helpful.  I usually take one tablet after sending my wife off to work before 8am, but I took the usual two tablets, went to bed at 1 am and woke up at 6 am.  After sleeping for 5 hours, waking up was very good. The morning at Kyoto in early November is chilly and sunny.  The trees along the Kamo River were dyed in warm colors.  睡眠導入剤がありがたい。普段は午前８時前に出社するワイフを見送ってから１錠服用するのだが、通常の２錠を服用し、午前１時に寝て６時に起床した。５時間眠ると目醒めがすこぶる良かった。 11月初旬の京都の朝は肌寒く、快晴。鴨川沿いの樹々は暖色に染まっていた。　 The chairs on the blood collection floor were almost full, waiting for 80 people.  I realize that the world has returned to before coronavirus disaster. Different thing happened in endoscopy inspection.  As soon as I was connected to the sedative drip to prepare, I instantly fell asleep, and when I woke up, the examination was over. Until then, I knew the examination status in a half-awakened state, but I have no memory at all this time. " We didn't do anything unusual, it just happened." That was the an

At the beginning of May, I was expecting "Kyoto in spring" but it was a bit chilly due to the unfortunate drizzle. Although it seemed that people returned to the large hospital which was about half the number before coronavirus, there was almost no waiting time for blood collection. I went down to the basement and the CT scan started immediately. I was a little happy to notice that the old Toshiba had been replaced by the latest Canon device. However, when the contrast agent entered my bloodstream, I not only felt hot all over my body as usual, but also felt sick. Although it wasn't so bad to push the button that I was forced to hold all the time. ５月初旬、『春の京都』を期待していたら生憎の小雨で肌寒い。大病院に人が戻ってきてはいたが、コロナ前の半分くらいで血液採取の待ち時間はほぼなし。地下に降りて、CT検査もすぐに始まった。古いToshibaから最新のCanonに装置が代わっているのに気づき、ちょっと嬉しい。ところが、造影剤が血中に入ると、いつものように全身が熱くなるだけでなく、気分が悪くなった。いつも握らされるボタンを押すほどではなかったが。 The weather was bad, so we gave up walking around the downtown area and bought dinner at a newly opened bakery in the basement

<Janet, Aging, Netflix, Apple Music, Hotel California , Waterside , Mediterranean Sundance, Larry Coryell, Paco de Lucia> I was talking to my wife on New Year's Day last year (2021) that this year would be over immediately as well as recent years. It really happened. According to Janet's Theory, psychological time is inversely proportional to age—longer to younger people and shorter to older people. This year, my year of being recognized as an elderly person by Japanese law, is only one-sixty-fifth of my life while one-fifth for the adorable daughter of my LA friend. The existence value of five rice grains is great, but even if one of 65 grains is gone, it won't be noticed. While she has a dazzling future from the time she was born, I spend mediocre days dealing with various declines. There are many things I want to avoid before I die. One is dementia, which is said to be one in three in Japan when you get old. Based on my experience of suffering from cancer due to ig
