Sunny and warm in the sun, still windy.
A good day. Neither of us slept well last night. I think that Fumihiko couldn't get comfortable, and I know I couldn't. I managed to sleep a bit, but every time I wanted to turn over, I had to wake up and shift position, because my cot was small!
The first visitor came in at 6:30 or so, and we seemed to have a steady stream of people after that. I know, they weren't there for me, and they were working so not too bad. Just before they took Fumihiko away they told us that we had to change our room. Oh dear. I took my stuff out to the car, vowing not to bring it all in again. After they took Fumihiko away to surgery, I had to wait and wait. Finally, around 10, they let me move. We just loaded up the bed with the stuff and changed rooms. It was simple. I took off to go and have breakfast a few minutes later.
I walked to Dennys and had a quite decent meal there. I had breakfast. I'm not sure why, but I like having breakfast out more than other meals! After breakfast I visited the craft shop behind the restaurant and bought a sewing kit and some grey thread.
I walked back and went back to my room. It was another couple of hours before Fumihiko came back. He was very groggy, but not too bad considering. He was able to talk to me and he even translated for me, so I'd say the operation went well.
We spent the next couple of hours holding hands and chatting. I was chased out of the room a couple of times, so I went to the car and brought in my stuff for the night and then went out again for dinner.
I walked to Dennys again. Sadly it's about the only restaurant in the area. But, as we don't have one in Tsuruoka, it feels a bit of a treat.
After dinner, I walked back to the hospital, and had to go in the front door. I went to Fumihiko's room and found that he was just finished dinner. We chatted, relaxed and a bit later he sent me for cup ramen, so I knew he really was feeling good. I was in the hospital store buying things when my cell phone rang. I talked to a member of AFWJ who lives nearby. We're going to try and meet up tomorrow with another member for coffee. I'm looking forward to it.
I think our day is starting to wind down. I'm really tired. I didn't sleep well last night and I wasn't able to take a shower at all, so I'm probably really stinky! I might take one tonight, although I don't like doing it as my hair is never good in the morning afterwards!
Anyway, I'm very tired, so I think I'll end this now. I hope that tomorrow will be a good day too. Night!
