Yesterday afternoon at the hospital Kuniko passed her final test, a CAT scan, with flying colors. \u00a0Her blood numbers were back to normal, and the doctor told her he’d like to keep her just one more night to be safe.<\/p>\n
And Kuniko said, “No thanks. \u00a0I’d rather be home”.<\/p>\n
So the doctor said, “Fine” and she was allowed to check out. \u00a0She was checking out about the time I got home, so \u00a0I drove over and picked her up, and let me tell you – Kuniko was very glad to be back.<\/p>\n
She talked to her bosses at work and told them what the doctor told her, she should stay home and stay out of stressful situations for the time being. \u00a0 I think she’ll be off work for the next couple of weeks, so hopefully she’ll be able to discover meditation, write the Great American Novel, or else think of some ways to keep her stress under control when she finally goes back to work.<\/p>\n
One interesting point was the bill for the hospital. \u00a0The final bill out of pocket for her was about 40,000 yen (around $450) for three days stay in a double room (the other bed was empty the whole time), and all the antibiotics, lab work, and a CAT scan. \u00a0It seemed pretty reasonable to me, but I haven’t been in the hospital in the US so I have nothing to compare it with. \u00a0Still, not bad I think.<\/p>\n
I’m off to work now, but I’m happy to know that she’ll be home in bed today convalescing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
