This morning dog Mary went up to Mt.Siroyama  located next to my home for her first time ever.  She is only seven months old, but she was so lively and run up and down steep mounten path, reliesing her enagic power. And at last It was very hard to cach her and I couldn't until ariving at home, since she enjoyed free so much without her leash. It's in the middle of autum. I realy enjoyed autum mouten's color.

Actually I climed the mouten for the first time since I felt pain badly in my knee this july and , of course , since my knee surgery last month end.

I wondered if I could go to Mt.Siroyama again. But it seems to be almost O.K.

I feel no pain when go up,  a little pain when go down though. So I have to be very carful to discend steep path.

Menisucus

It's been 3 days since I got out of the hospital and 4 days since my right knee meniscus endoscopic surgery. Now I feel almost no pain in my knee and I can walk slowly and carefully. Maybe I can return to my work soon, but must be more carful and sould to see the situation of where I got the surgery for a moument. My brother took a video of the surgery by his camera through the VTR in next room of the operation at that time.  As the doctor had said befor the surgery, throuh that video,  I can see that the front part of my right insaid menisucus had partly peeled off.  The picture showed the scene that peeled part was cut off  little by little by a narrow tool like nippers. There had been made three little hole around my right knee, one for a camera, anther for a tool like nepper, and maybe the last for something like a bacuum which clean the segment left.

Surgery

This is my fiest time to get a surgery and to be hospitalized.
My right knee meniscus injury's surgery has just finished now. I'm writing this text on the bed, wearing oxygen musk and urinal pipe under my bottom.

I was given a general anesthetic.  On the operation table Just after It came from the infusion, I fall asleep. I was feeling like having a very short dream untill the doctor tapped my shoulder letting me know its over. It took just one hour but l knew nothing about what happend.
My brother came there and watched the whole operation through the video camera. He told me that my meniscus had been  partly tore and that was removed.
I heared from the patient in the room that  Dr. Nawata  who operated me is very noted about knees, so many people come from far places.
 
My body is connected to a lot of thing such as the infusion, pulse and blood pressure guage and urinal pipe. I can't move from the bed untill tomorrow morning. Particuraly this my under pipe is bothering me now. It's difficult for me to express this feeling.


My brother gave me a drive here to Marunouchi Hospital yesterday at 10 a.m. The operation was 9 to 10 a.m. today. And I am to be out of the hospital at 10 a.m. tomorrow. All is to be three days and two night.
