Recovery and Visitors

dad, grandpa, and makoto ojisan came this morning to say hi. Grandpa is back from California and dad left for Kyoto today. We talked for a bit then they took dad to the station.

It was a relatively uneventful day. Went outside to make some phone calls because the weather was good and watched a lot of 24.

Makie came by with some more prezzies (some body refreshing wipes and she brewed some coffee). We talked for a little while about work and lessons and what not. She has been really nice about coming to see me and yesterday was even her birthday so I felt bad that she was spending the day at the hospital.

At night, Clare, Helen and Julie came by with mashed potatoes and ice cream. We talked for a while in the room but we were disturbing the olds so we decided to go downstairs where we could talk freely. But the announcement for final bed check sounded and i had to go back. They say you really get to know the quality of your friends during times of need or crisis and I feel like I am truly discovering that now. the people who have come or made the effort to make contact have been remarkable and it is interesting to see the people you think would make the effort but haven’t. it has truly been an eye opening experience. I am just glad to have such good people in my life who have made such a tremendous effort.
