20 Days after Reconstruction Surgery 乳房再建手術後20日
I could not handle well of seeing the scar sites on my breasts last night. I was almost fainting and called my husband to take me to bed. -nothing happened to the surgery sites, it was all psychological, just wanted to let you know in advance.- The picture is from our window about a week ago. I did not modify the color, it was a beautiful sunset.

Wrapping Style in Winter 冬のターバンスタイル
I did not realize how hair keeps my head so warm. After all those years with long hair I had, I feel cold in head this winter with newly growing very short hair.

A Day before Breast Reconstruction Surgery 再建手術前夜
Tuesday, January 13, at 9:30 AM (EST or -New York-), I will undergo an operation for my breast reconstruction. (Despite the title, it may be today for you.) I am requesting all of your prayers for me from all over the world. Thank you in advance, I will receive general anesthesia and will be sleeping well then. At this point, I am just waiting anxiously for tomorrow. It will be hard to sleep, but I should sleep well. Nobody knows how well I can sleep after the surgery. No drink, no food, not even swallowing accidentally while brushing my teeth after midnight.
