This Monday, my mother in law suddenly came to my house and said to me.
"I am so sorry, I will go to hospital and have an operation. "
I knew that she could not take care of her self well. But it was unexpected.
After she fell down because of heat, she became handicapped a little bit.
she went to the hospital and consulted a doctor many times.
He suggested her to have an operation. She thinks that doctor is like God.
So she decided to have an operation.
When my husband and I were told about this situation by her at the first time,
we didn't agree it. But she didn't obey our opinion.
It was no choice.
She had an operation on her birthday. According to my father in law, she is getting better and better. I am relieved now.
It was cloudy last Thursday. I did not drink some in the morning and cleaned the house hard 2 hours. At noon, suddenly I fell down in the living room.
I felt dizzy. I laied down on the bed, but it was getting worse and worse.
I asked my father in law to the hospital soon.
I arrived at hospital. I consulted a doctor. According to the blood test, I became
bad because of dehydration. I realized that I was concentrating on cleaning without something to drink. I was treated by drip infusion for 3 hours.
In my mother in law's case, she fell down outside when it was too hot.
She is an old person,so it is difficult for her to notice if the temperature is high or not. I am sorry that she had a bad accident out side. If I had fell down outside, I would have been operated like her.
As we know, gloval warmimg is progressing.
Let's be careful especially in summer.

heat sickness
As we know, we are obliged to save electriciy in this summer because of lack of electric power.
Now it is too hot in Japan. Probably all Japanese people are sure that it is necessary for us to do so.
Last Thursday morning, my mother in law went to play grand golf with other old people.
At 9 AM, she fell down because of heat and hurt her neck. My father in law immeadiately took her to the hospital. She recovered consciousness but her hand( fingers) started shaking.
Now she has to go to hospital and she can't move her right hand well.
She regretted to play grand golf outside although it was too hot. But there was no choice.
When I watched TV, I knew that many young students fell down out side because of heat when it was held at sport festival. And I also knew that many old people became heat sickness in thier house because they can't feel if it was hot or not. It is dangerous thing.
My daughter often complains about the heat because there were no airconditioners in her class rooms and other rooms. Whenever they take PE class outside, many students are about to fall down.
I advised her to drink something but she told me that she had lack of drink . It is very dangerous situation because they can't go to the store easily and immediately.
Osaka governor Hashimoto Toru told us not to worry about saving electric power.
It is Kansai area. Kantou area only lack the electric power.
We can understand what he mention. But we are sometimes confused ... Which way should we choose" saving or our life???
Even though there were no earthquake anc Tsunami , we would have face this serious problem.
In my case, I usually stay in the house. So I take a shower during a dialy time once. I don't use airconditioner. I use only fan. I try to drink something. When I go outside, I use umbrella to avoid ultraviolet rays. I don't want to become heat sickness. We continue to fight with intense heat.

Japanese educational situation
As you may probably know, Japanese high school students have to study very hard during thier school life. My daugher is a high school student.She goes to cram school almost every day and I have to support as her driver every night.
She does not have a special dream or goal now, so she is troubled by this situation.
But actually most high school students wish to go to college or university. There are too many schools in Japan, I think. So some universites are very popular but other universities are not popular. It is so difficult for them to pass entrance exams for popular universities.
When I was a high school student on summer vacation, I studied from early in the morning to late at night. It was too hard for me. But it was normal. At that time, there were not so many cram school, so I had to study by myself.
In my daughter's case, I think she is lucky. Her cram school teachers teach her and other students kindly and
politely. Most of the students pass entrance exams every year. They have to think about after their graduation after that.
But it is said that Japanese university students don't need to study very hard during their school life.
They can easily graduate.So many of them slack off. This is the Japanese people's situation
About 30% students can't find their company or job to work. Many students start to look for a company early in the semester. Some students cut the class although monthly school fee is so expensive. It is a very sad story.
I don't like this Japanese style. But there is no choice.
I think my daughter continues to be troubled from now on,too. Because we can't answer the question.
" Why do students have to study and go to university???"

Talk about victim's pets and animals
As we know,Fukushima power station problem hasn't been solved yet. Of course many victims are compelled to evacuate from Fukushima, but unfortunately their pets and animals were abandoned.
I happened to find one person's blog.
http://ameblo.jp/uchino-toramaru/
According to his blog, he often goes to Fukushima near the Fukushima power station in order to feed animals. I saw many pictures and read it and I was about to cry. That present situation is so terrible and sad.
Many pets were looking for their owner. Some pets died because of hunger.
He and other volunteer people are helping to them. They give some water and food to them.
And he tell about the situation for us.
By this disaster and radiation problem, many pets and animals are also damaged.
We are human being,so we can speak, appeal,cry.
But they can't speak.They can't understand their situation. They don't know what they should do.
I feel so sad and I have no idea.
But actually some kind people continue to help them.
Please read his blog and don't forget these present situation.

What a small world it is!
I usually make use of facebook. I have been using it for about 3 years. The reason is that Canadian who have ever stayed in my house suggested me to join. After that I enjoy communicating with my friends.
The other day, I happened to see my page in my right side. As we know, many members who are my friends's friend are shown in our page. We can sometimes meet again accidentaly.
I saw one person's page. I was so surprised because I knew that we had a lot of in common.
I decided to write a message and ask many things to him.
I received his message. And I was more surprised again. Because our home town was the same, my brother's school was the same, our club was the same, my old friend is his school friend,and so on...)
What a small world is! Face book is so useful! I am so excited now.
I was looking for other old friends by using facebook.
I found some old friends. I was also able to see some of thier pictures. Amazing!
I remember those days.
Most of my face book friends are not online friends but real friends. So I don't need to worry about too much. I will enjoy meeting old friends and communicate with them.

escape death by a hairbreadth
As the proverb says,"escape death by a hairbreadth".
I happened to find video on the Internet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7IL37t7Wjg&feature=related
I am not sure why he took this video at that time.
Probably he was saved after that.
Who could imagine huge Tsunami hit ?
Of course I couldn't imagine and have never seen such a terrible scenes like this.
This happening made me sad. We can't know when disaster happen. We don't think that our life suddenly
end by natural disaster.
Nobody knows if we can escape death by a hairbreadth...

Talk to myself
I have a fun with my children in this spring vacation. Time goes by quickly. And my son has to return to his dorm the day after tomorrow. I could enjoy spending time with them.
As we know, there was huge earthquake and Tsunami in Japan unfortunately.
Since it happened, I have been depressed and I did not do anything because of deep sadness.
But day by day, my feeling changed.
" Nobody knows about tomorrow or even after 1 minute. Is it all right for me to waste of time?"
After that, I tried to concentrate on taking care of my family.
My son is very smart and kind.
Before I ask him to do something, he starts to help my housework. While I was going out and picking up my daughter and husband, he cooked something to eat for us.
← YAKIMESHI
This was taken in front of my house.

← YAKIMESHI My daughter has been very busy.She goes to cram school almost every day. She has to take some examination to enter the university(or colledge) next year.Recently she is doing her best. I take her to the cram school and pick up her twice a day. Although I am so busy every evening and night as a driver,I want to support her. We have a chat every night before go to bed. We talk about the future, dream, job and so on. I sometimes feel that she is not my child but my good friend.
This was taken in front of my house.I know life is tough and there are problems around us. But what I have to do is spend happily everyday and
feel how happy we are in our life.My duty is to give our children in struction. Even though we face difficulties, we never give up...
