Admission, discharge. / 入院、退院。(ENG/JPN)

I spent almost all of this year’s Golden Week in the hospital.
I was hospitalized from April 30 to May 5.
It was due to right facial nerve palsy.

In my case, the symptoms included being unable to blink my right eye and having trouble closing the right side of my mouth, which caused me to spill the water I was drinking.
Since the steroid medication I was prescribed can cause blood sugar levels to spike rapidly, I was advised that hospitalization was necessary to help control my blood sugar, so I was admitted.

Since it was a four-bed room, I managed to get some sleep at night, but I had to be careful not to make any noise when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
However, the food wasn’t very tasty. The only thing that was good was the fruit. I suppose that’s just how hospital food is.

I received daily steroid injections via IV, and I checked my blood sugar levels in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and before bed. If my blood sugar was high, I had to give myself an insulin injection.

Fortunately, it rained most days, but whenever I caught a glimpse of blue sky from my room, it made me feel depressed.

I was discharged on May 5th, but to be honest, I’m still exhausted, and I’ve been pretty much wiped out today.

From now on, it’s going to be a daily routine of hospital visits. I’m already seeing a general practitioner, a psychiatrist, and an ophthalmologist, but now I have to see an ENT specialist as well. Just thinking about it makes me feel drained and miserable.

I don’t want this year to turn out to be a boring one.

今年のゴールデンウィークはほぼ病院の中で過ごして終わった。
4月30日から5月5日まで入院していた。
右顔面神経麻痺のためだ。

私の場合の症状は、右眼がまばたきができず、また口の右側を上手く閉じることができず飲んでいた水をこぼすといったところだ。
治療薬のステロイド剤が血糖値を急激に上げるということなので、血糖値をコントロールするためにも入院した方がいいということで入院をした。

病室は4人部屋だったので、まあ夜はなんとか寝られたが、夜中にトイレに行くのでなるべく音を立てないように気を使った。
しかし食事があまりおいしくなかった。おいしいものは果物だけだった。病院の食事だから仕方ないかと思うが。

そして毎日のステロイド剤は点滴で投与、そして朝、昼、夕、寝る前と血糖値を測り、血糖値が高ければインシュリンを注射する。

幸い雨の日の方が多かったが、たまに病室から青空が見えると憂鬱な気分になった。

そして5月5日に退院したのだが、はっきり言って疲労が残ってしまい、今日はほとんどぐったりしていた。

今後は通院の日々である。私は既に内科、精神科、眼科に通っているのに、さらに耳鼻咽喉科に通わなければならなくなった。考えただけでしんどく苦しい。

このままつまらない一年にはしたくない。
